There are some quality FA receivers out there. We could go for a big guy like Sidney Rice to pair with Finley. Or go for a possession receiver like the Giants Steve Smith. I like the idea of grabbing Smith.

It would be difficult to get a FA to come here though because of all the depth we have at WR.

With the high possibility of James Jones going elsewhere, does anyone see the Packers taking a wide receiver early?

I really doubt they do that. With Jennings, Jordy, Driver, Swain (who has shown some talent), and that giant Finley back, I doubt we'll use a pick on a wideout. If anything, I don't think it be early anyway.

I think it will mostly be a matter of BPA for Ted in this draft, and I see no reason why he would not take a WR who was the BPA. Those four receiver sets killed the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

If Jones leaves and they don't take a WR early, though, I would be interested to see how Brett Swain does as the #4 guy. I actually think he's pretty good.

I bet Ted Thompson grabs WR who can return punts with a 2nd or a 3rd.

Very interesting. I thought Ted would tender then to be able to pick up compensation draft picks when they move on.
I suppose it is less expensive to draft a #3-4 WR than to keep Jones.
If Starks grows as a blocking back he could be the 3rd down back as well as spell Grant on 1st and 2nd downs.

I wonder if the post season drops by James Jones played any role in his not getting tendered right away. I think they can still be signed later.

Jones, Jackson, Swain, Hall, Bigby, Spitz, and Jenkins were not tendered.

If they are wanted and can be obtained for the right price they may be back.

Bigby, Swain, and Hall are the least likely to be back.


With Wells entering final year of contract and Spitz gone, a Center could be drafted.
Swain and Jones could indicate drafting a WR somewhere.

Jackson ---> His unfortunately the odd man out.

Jones ---> I would tell you HE NEEDS TO RETURN but then I remember that we still got Finley. (P.S. Nelson did outperform all our WR's in the SB)

Bigby ... his as good as done. IMO his finished as a starter.

I think Jenkins has too many years under his belt for the tender to be put on.

The rest could of... I'm still kind of thinking the report is mistaken and/or wrong.

Why not tender Jones and Swain? Tender don't cost much and they were what 3rd and 7th round? That makes the tenders even less...

Also tendering Jackson would of made sense as well, yeah he's the 3rd back, but he'd be the 3rd down back, best as pass blocking... and we all hope Grant is gonna come back healthy but guys do have injured years back to back... see Kampman, Harris, Tausher, Bigby and others, two injury years in a row is possible...

Spitz is the back-up Center which is important, but they do have McDonald which has said to have shown promise.

Hall tender would be a 6th round tender so that would of been very cheap and Kuhn is also a FA... and Hall is one of the better guys at STs.

So to not tender more guys just doesn't make sense to me... but maybe they have a good plan... we'll just have to wait and see.

WR is the deepest position in this draft. I fully expect to take a WR early.

I would say that Jenkins is by far the least likely to be back. They haven't even made a move to talk to him, and for a veteran player of his caliber, they would've done that by now if they wanted to keep him.

After Jenkins, it's Jones. Another team will probably offer him starter's money.

After those two, I would think that Bigby and Spitz are the least likely to be back, largely due to their injury histories.

I'm not sure about Hall. He's injury prone, but he's a good fit on offense and special teams.

I expect that Swain is the most likely to be back, as he is a developmental player and solid special teams contributor, and I doubt that another team will make him an offer.
