If packers are on clock and...

[woodbuck27]

Who is their right mind would ever count on KRob for next season?

Koren Robinson will have a say in that.

[woodbuck27]

top need is for a RB, as I suppose most agree.

Not necessarily. Clifton is looking pretty gimpy to me. LT could be the way to go, or CB if Harris regresses.

Al Harris is as good as gone !

Now.... 2nd and 10 on the Rams 11.... With Calvin, Favre would just have to toss it up on a little fade, like Culpepper once did to Randy....

Lets see how Calvin did it in the game this weekend....

Could be the biggest redzone threat packers had in AWHILE... I mean hes only 6`5 235.... All our WR's our bigger than him

He's certainly an impressive possibility, but we'll have Driver ,Jennings and I expect Koren Robinson, which means we need a playmaker at RB.

The end appears to be near for Ahman Green. The injury he suffered last season was brutal, and he may still be one year away from returning to some of what we once saw ,but then it's "the RB and age factor" that rules.

Forget about the offense. The days of rallying troops for one more shot at it with Brett are now officially over. Some smarty pants receiver whose gone as a free agent in three years ain't helpin, nothin.

Draft Defense all day long until you luck out and hit good value picks at RB and O line. Get ready for another trade down draft.

Hard to change the stripes on a Tiger.

Your probably correct. Ted Thompson trades down if we don't have a top five - seven pick.

if the Packers pick in the top 5 which I dont think they will, I want Adrian Peterson or Calvin.. If they pick top 10 (I think they will be around 8 or 9) then I want Alan Branch, the DT from Michigan! This guy is an absolute stud at 330lbs and can move like a LB...

If we get branch we could be following the Bears blueprint for a nasty D... Hawk last year (our Urlacher) and Branch this year (our Tommie Harris)...

Either of those 3 would make me ecstatic!!!!!

Is anybody really impressed with FA DT Ryan Pickett?

[Astonishment]

IMO the most need position is DE, but if none is worthy of a top 5 pick, than you have to go with the WR.

[The Leaper]

If you have an opportunity to take CJ...you jump all over it. The guy is huge, fast, and has great hands. He makes Javon Walker look like Robert Ferguson.

You don't pass on a guy with that kind of skill set. Unfortunately, I don't think he will be available when the Packers pick.

[The Leaper]

He's certainly an impressive possibility, but we'll have Driver ,Jennings and I expect Koren Robinson, which means we need a playmaker at RB.

Outside of Adrian Peterson, there isn't a superstar RB in the draft. Besides, putting Driver, Jennings, and CJ on the field at the same time would probably help ANY running game. It also would guarantee Favre's return in 2007.

Driver and Jennings are undersized...and KRob is one stiff drink away from getting thrown in the clink for years. A huge receiver would do this offense wonders.

I think Calvin is starting to become overrated here. He's not a 100% sure thing pick. Peterson certainly seems like a safer pick to me. However, like you guys said I would rather build the D.

You want a safe pick???? O wait, nevermind i'm not eligible for the NFL yet

You might be right; but I'm on the hypewagon as well after seeing him play a few Thursday's ago. He was a men among boys with a great attitude to boot. More athletic ability than any WR coming out of college since Randy Moss IMO.

That being said, he'll probably go before they pick.

So just take the impact player when you pick; hopefully if not Johnson it falls at the RB or DL position

Hmm...well, it's pretty early to make guesses about picks, since no underclassmen have declared for the draft, and we don't know where GB will be picking yet. With that said, we need to upgrade both sides of the ball. Here are my rambling thoughts...

Take the best player available, regardless of whether they are offense or defense.

Defense
GB needs another DE. KGB and Kampy can't do it alone.
They need a CB or two, depending upon what Blackmon shows us. Dumping Carroll makes the CB depth very thin.
GB need a S unless Culver really surprises. Manuel isn't very impressive. Another LB to replace the Taylor/Poppinga experiment wouldn't hurt, and if Barnett walks it becomes a higher priority to draft/sign FA there.

Offense
GB needs a tackle. Injuries have rendered Clifton a broken down warhorse at this point, and I have a gut feeling Tauscher doesn't have much more than 2-3 decent seasons left. GB doesn't have great depth on the OL, so if Colledge moves to OT, GB has to find out if Coston can get it done or if they need to find another player.
GB needs a RB. Green's best days are behind him and we all know that. He's spending more time in the training room, which is a bad sign for a RB on the wrong side of 30. Morency and Herron won't get it done over 16 games. The ZBS doesn't need high draft picks, but I don't think it would would hurt.
GB needs a WR...in the world of "what-if's", imagine if TT had picked Colston instead of Cory Rodgers. GB needs a playmaker at WR or RB. I'd say that RB is a more"sure thing" as a 1st rounder, since WR's take longer to develop and there is a higher bust rate with them (hello David Terrell). Counting on KoRo to be more than a #3 WR and a KR is dangerous. Even if he plays out this season, he still has to serve a 1yr suspension...which means he's out next season.
GB needs a TE...the current group doesn't scare anyone. We can probably find or develop a FB...I suspect Hendo is gone after this year.

I don't know that they need to draft a QB at this point. Favre may or may not retire. If he does we have A.Rodgers and I.Martin, plus GB would likely bring in a so-so FA for an open competition. If Favre plays next year and you pick a QB, what do you do with 4 QB's? That smacks of wasted picks.

I'm a believer in the "draft best player" theory, but if I was a draft by position, I'd go DE, RB, CB, WR, S, OT, TE. From what I hear there will be a lot of good S available in the draft. I'd consider trading down to get more picks. I don't think there will be many quality TE to draft by rounds 6-7, and converting a WR is iffy.
