Darron Lee or Reggie Ragland would be interesting selections since either could probably start at one of the ILB positions, maybe by mid-season they could be worked into nickel/dime packages as the solo coverage backer. I personally hope Jarran Reed, Vernon Butler, Billings, or one of the other DL is the pick since that's probably the other position on defense which a 1st round pick might be able to crack the starting line-up. So i'm going with

1.) Darron Lee
2.) Jarron Reed
3.) Vernon Butler
4.) Reggie Ragland

Favorite player not on the list: Andrew Billings aka the human wrecking ball. I know the Packers don't play a NT much in lieu of sub-packages but Billings may be the best one in the draft. If the Pack feel he could play next to Daniels on passing downs he's the guy imo. Very similar size to Daniels, both are listed at 310 with Billings about an inch taller.

You don't think Roddy White was a choice? I know I have that brilliant hindsight working in my favor here, but I gotta believe the Packers felt Roddy White was better than Robert Ferguson lol (ok ok my fingers are crossed when I wrote that!)

I used my unequivocal, unmatched, brilliant hindsight wisdom to say he had a choice, example given was Roddy White ... a good talent (at the time and proved as much) at a position the Packers needed. Fact is the Packers had a choice and they made the right choice and they deserve credit for doing so rather than folks pissing on it as if they had a choice. Remember, no other Tedford quarterback amounted to crap at the time so sure we know Aaron turned out great, but no one had a damn clue at the time.


As for my selections, I'm rolling with I think they'll take DT Jarran Reed, Alabama but hope they take LB Reggie Ragland, Alabama because, hell, I think Packers are trying to be the Alabama of NFL!! haha

An exception? lol. Besides Rodgers who you already brought up Hawk, Raji, Matthews, Bulaga, HHCD, and Randall were all expected to be 1st round picks. Sherrod, Jones, and Perry were expected in the late 1-2nd round range. I don't remember Harrell's prospect info but I remember a lot of surprise also remember reports of the Broncos possibly taking him in the 1st too though.

I'll go with Reggie Ragland.
(Billings DT not on the list, probably was invited but declined, if Ted doesn't trade out Billings will be the guy!!!)

But I will say that I realize those players were all first round quality. That was not what I meant.

If he's there I think Chris Jones. I would be happy with that pick, I'm not going to stress about whoever they do pick though even if it's a player I don't really like.

"27. Green Bay Packers: Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor

I would love to take injured Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith here — it’d be like trading the No. 27 overall pick in this draft for a top-10 pick in 2017 — but I’m too chicken to not get a player at this spot who can help the team in 2016. So instead I’ll go with Billings, who fills a need at nose tackle following B.J. Raji’s retirement. He is a hammer in the running game who would protect the Packers’ inside linebackers by keeping blockers off of them, as that was a problem position for Green Bay last year (and Clay Matthews is being moved from middle linebacker back to an edge-rushing role). Billings was also surprisingly effective as a pass-rusher for Baylor, producing 30 total pressures, including five sacks, in 2015."

OK sorry for the interruption. As you were gentlemen.

If we traded back I wouldn't mind then burning a high pick on Jaylon Smith knowing we likely picked up another 3rd rounder at least to move back.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
