We were a man short on OL last year. 🇹🇹 will pick BPA.

As much as the problem was our D (#1 O, #19 D), BPA still makes sense.

yeah when I look at different places ranking him around 28th I start to think about it and then tell my self that they need too much help on defense to go for a luxury pick like this. We will watch and see if Uncle Teddy does take the BPA this year or not.

This pick would only make sense if we can't resign Wells, but as of late, I'm actually getting more and more excited about picking Peter Konz.

I mean, that guy is one heck of a player. More talented than anyone you'll find in the back of round 1, just because centers and guards don't rank that high when it comes to position value. Add an ankle injury to that and he's bound to fall to 28.

Even though I've been complaining about getting a DE/OLB for a year or two now, I wouldn't mind that pick at all.

Neither would I. However, Konz is a better prospect than Mike Pouncey, so I have a hard time believing he'll fall.

That's true. I reckon he'll gain some momentum leading up to the draft and he'll actually be gone by the time we pick. It's a shame, though.

Williams told John McClain of the Houston Chronicle that his primary motivation in signing a contract when he becomes a free agent next month will be making sure he’s in the right place, not making sure he’s maximizing his earning potential.



Mario Williams. Does this mean ONLY that he'd consider a hometown discount?

“It’s really not that big of a deal to me. I was the first pick, and I’ve already had everything I really wanted, so my biggest thing is to be in a good position, a good scheme, a good system and continuing my career. Hopefully, it works out. It’s always important to be in a position to be successful. That comes with teammates around you, coaching, having that winning attitude. You want to [play] where you can thrive no matter where you are. . . . I love it here.”

Nice post, nerdmann. On the way back from work tonight I heard the same thing. Perhaps Williams could see the value of playing with inarguably one of the league's best teams. There's of course no way of knowing whether Green Bay would even pursue him. But if I were Ted Thompson and I demonstrated interest, I'd just try to remind Mario over and over that the guy on the other side is Clay Matthews. He's not the only pass rusher teams will have to worry about.

This whole thing gives me flashbacks to the 2006 draft. Rumors the night before were that the Texans were not going to take Bush, meaning Williams would likely no longer have a chance of falling to Green Bay at 5 if the Texans did what everyone thought they would and draft Reggie Bush. Then Charlie Casserly, GM of Houston, does the smart thing and takes the beast DE.

*edit Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is cheesy as hell. It was on tv in the background and distracted me, hence throwing off my historical accuracy regarding the 2006 draft. Fixed.

Even at a "discount" that guy is going to make a ton of money. No chance Ted pays that kind of cash especially for a guy who has played a whole 4 and a half career games as an OLB. Nor should he, everyone wanting to give Williams all this money will be complaining if they do and then don't have enough room to pay someone like Matthews or Jennings what they deserve later on.

Mario Williams is a 4-3 DE just like Peppers. Signing Williams makes no sense to me at all. We have enough square pegs in round holes in this defense as is. If you're going pony up the dough, better make sure damn sure the guy you're buying fits what he needs to play. I'd rather spend money on a guy like Richard Seymour that brings pass rush from the DE position and anchors against the run.

Mario Williams played in a 3 - 4 last season, until he was injured. He played in five games, had five sacks. Two games with 2.0 sacks and one game with 1.0 sack. He sure started off just fine as an OLB in the 3 - 4.
