If the Baldwin kid from Pitt drops to us, let's take him and say goodbye to Mr. Jones. 6-5 possession receiver with a huge upside. He and Finley would be death in the red zone.

I have seen this pick in some mocks. It would make more sense to me to do this and take Reed in the 2nd round. The thing is there has been talk about some attitude issues with Baldwin and Ted likes high character guys.

He will be humbled quickly competing against Driver, Jennings, and Jorde. Wouldn't be a problem. I'm not sold on Reed, he looks a little stiff in the hips - but at 64, might be pretty good value. I don't see Reed as any better than what we already have in house.

I'm gonna throw out a question for you all. I'm being serious. Do you guys like talking about who the Packers will draft? Even after the draft is over and Uncle Ted doesn't take any of those guys you think he's gonna take (other than first round, perhaps)? I'm not big into college football so I'm usually only familiar with the round one talent. But I see how much some of you go on and on about who we're gonna end up with; I'd be so frustrated if I put that amount of time, energy, and thought into it, then end up flummoxed by Ted's picks in the end.

My sister has an uncertain future. Single mom, no education, just laid off in this economy. James Jones will be fine.

I'm on your side so I see your point, but I think the reason that people talk about it so much is because there isn't much else to talk about right now in the NFL other than the lockout. Seeing Ted choose different players than those they have predicted is much less depressing than talking about a lockout.

+ 1 slapynuts for using the term 'flummoxed.' I too feel that I would be bamboozled by Ted and his moves, but I only half-heartedly follow college so can't say much about the draft either.

I'm not sold on Reed, he looks a little stiff in the hips - but at 64, might be pretty good value. I don't see Reed as any better than what we already have in house.

Dude, if we're taking a guy that's 64, it's no wonder he's a little stiff in the hips!

James Jones is a hit or miss for the Packers. They can surely use him, but I think they can manage without him as well.

I don't like that he uses #'s as far as depth because as previously discussed, do we really have a depth chart at wide receiver other than Greg Jennings being #1 and Brett Swain being #5? Also, he shouldn't make comparisons with Donald Driver because Driver takes the routes that receivers usually don't have the balls to run.

James Jones is more about the money than he is about winning. If a struggling team like Carolina offered James Jones starter money and an actual starting position (an offer Ted Thompson would refuse to match), James Jones would probably be the happiest man in the world knowing the cash he is going to make and not give a damn about how many games his team loses. He just kind of comes off as that type of player.

James Jones is a big threat when Jermichael Finley is not on the field. Let's face it, as of now I believe Jermichael Finley is injury prone. If Finley goes down again next year and Jones is gone, thats a double whammy for our receiving core. Jones was able to add to the passing game with no Finley around.

Now if Finley is able to stick around an entire season, Jones can go where ever he wants to because each receiver (accept Jennings) will most likely see a dramatic decrease in their number of receptions.

Personally, I have gone back and forth on Jones and I hope he is able to stay. There isn't much talent that can be taken in the later rounds of the draft to make up for the loss of Jones.

I admit i don't know much about the college players. But there are some that for them, it's their hobby. They enjoy drawing up who they think will pick who. So for them, it's a fun (and i'm sure frustrating) thing.
