"Official 2007 NFL Draft Thread"

[Holofamer]

I decided to go ahead and start the official thread for those interested in talking about the 2007 NFL draft.

If the Packers are "unlucky" enough to get a top 3 pick, they should be in good shape to grab a very good player or have high value to trade down with. I figure, as of today, the top 3 will be... (depending which teams have the top picks)

#1 Brady Quinn

#2 Calvin Johnson

#3 Adrian Peterson

I would personally like to see AD in a Packers uniform most, and if not him, CJ.

Here is a Video of AD...

Here's CJ

If we draft a little bit lower, TG (Teddy Ginn) would be great to have for our special teams and WR core. His 2 years of college highlights look better than Reggie's 3 years.

Ted Ginn looks like a deer running on the field

I think the first 2 are a mute point. TT cast the die with Rogers and you can't waste another pick at QB. Drafting WR's this high has'nt been a wise thing to do either. We have to go RB no matter what and I think there will be some real good ones available.

[Holofamer]

I didn't mean the Packers should draft them in that order, I just meant that's probably the top 3 talents at this point. The biggest need is cornerback by far, but they shouldn't pick one in the 1st unless they trade down. That being said, they should go RB in the 1st, trade the 2nd for a later 2nd and 3rd, grab a CB with the 2nd, go DE with the first 3rd, and WR with the second 3rd.

Here's my favorite draft site to evaluate and talk prospects.

What about defensive guys? The packers clearly need a disruptive D-Lineman or a shut-down corner. Any thread about the draft, especially this early, should have a wide range of potential players the pack could take.

[Joemailman]

I think the top 3 needs will be CB, RB and OT (assuming Colledge stays at G.) NFL Draft Countdown has Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State going at #14. That sounds about right.

[MadtownPacker]

All defense all day on the first day. Maybe a RB too.

[Holofamer]

At RB we're looking at:

Adrian Peterson
Marshawn Lynch
Kenny Irons
Micheal Bush

CB:

Marcus McCauley
Leon Hall

DE:

Quentin Moses
Gaines Adams
Lamarr Woodley
Victor Abiamiri

WR:

Calvin Johnson
Teddy Ginn
Dwayne Jarrett
Sidney Rice
Jeff Samardzija

[Tyrone Bigguns]

All defense all day on the first day. Maybe a RB too.

I'm with you MTP. We are just a couple of players away from having a very good defense. One more disruptive lineman and a decent corner. Add more linemen for depth and perhaps a linebacker.

Running backs can be found later in the draft or through free agency.

Running backs can be found later in the draft or through free agency.

ex: Garrett Wolfe.

You think he'll be around late? I don't. He had 353 yards rushing in his last game.

[gbpackfan]

If the Packers don't get a top 5 pick (which would give them a chance to draft AP or CJ) then they should trade down. Then, they should draft a DE, CB and RB (not necessarily in that order).

[PackerPro42]

I don't think you cam pass on a talent like AD, if you have the chance to get him.

Calvin Johnson with his size and production on the field is the best player in this draft. 45" vertical and a 4.3/40!!!!!!!!!

My perfect draft would be Calvin Johnson in round one and the now injured Michael Bush in round two.
