Will this defense strike fear in anyone?

Here's how the Green Bay Packers' defense is shaping up on paper:

LE -- Aaron Kampman
DT -- Cullen Jenkins
DT -- Ryan Pickett
RE -- Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
SLB -- Roy Manning
MLB -- Nick Barnett
WLB -- A.J. Hawk
LCB -- Charles Woodson
RCB -- Al Harris
SS -- Marquand Manuel
FS -- Nick Collins

Doesn't strike me that this group will make anyone forget the '85 Bears or the '00 Ravens or the '02 Buccaneers. In fact, if Hawk doesn't become a Pro Bowl player as a rookie, I don't see another candidate on the list.

Jets are having a nice draft so far. D'brick and Mangold. Now they take a QB and they will be pretty potent on O again.

[Bretsky]

What if Chad Jackson is still there? Walker or no Walker, I really want this guy.

I sorta want TT to trade down though. Abdul Hodge in the mid 2nd would be nice.

With the guys coming off the board the past 10 picks I'd like to see a trade down and then another LB drafted in round 2 unless they like Chad Jackson or Jimmy Williams with his character risk.

Winston Justice doesn't fit the "Packer People" criteria.

I predicted TT would go LB LB.

I heard Chad J is vastly overrated and only in round 1 as a projection cause there is a lack of WR.

[Bretsky]

Winston Justice doesn't fit the "Packer People" criteria.

Honestly Jimmy Williams probably doesn't either

[motife]

Most of Green Bay's quality guards of recent years were drafted as tackles.

Ron Hallstrom, Iowa
Aaron Taylor, Notre Dame
Ross Verba, Iowa

all #1's.

Mike Wahle, Navy (2nd pick supplemental)

Jeez, Uncle Cliffy could find something wrong with a Playboy playmate sitting naked in his hot tub...

[imscott72]

Is it me, or does it seem like there aren't that many reaches so far in this draft?

its a stacked draft, thats for sure...We're gonna score a very solid player with our next pick...

[motife]

Hope Ted doesn't try to pass in a card on Seattle, forgetting that's not his team anymore.

[Scott Campbell]

So would B. He'd complain that there was only one.

[Fritz]

I like the trade down idea. Then grab Abdul Hodge.

I also would like to see the JWalk trade announced soon. We could use a second rounder plus a third next year, or a fourth this year.

[Deputy Nutz]

1st round graded players that are left

Chad Jackson, WR
Leonard Pope, TE
Winston Justice, OT
Marcus McNeill, OT
Eric Winston, OT
Gabe Watson, DT
Demeco Ryans, OLB
Jimmy Williams, DB
Ashton Youboty, CB
Daniel Bullocks, S

[motife]

I suppose Mike Holmgren is too important to work the phones at the draft desk. Georgia Frontiere did it for the Rams. Only way to keep her out of the war room, probably.
