I got this mischievous feeling that a good portion of fans are going to be pissed off at the first selection of the Packers.

I'd love to trade up to get Brockers, then Muir and Hargrove would just be rotation guys - if even on the team. I don't see the impact OLB at 28. There might not even be one in the draft, and we probably have better guys on the team now than what we could draft. If we can't move up - then I think our pick at 28 just might be an offensive player - causing much confusion. But you don't take an inferior talent for need, at least the Packers don't.

If kids are giving him four concussions, imagine what the professionals are going to do. I'd almost rather this kid use his degree for his career and not touch a football field. After that first concussion, the second becomes easier, after the second the third becomes easier ... and so on. Pretty soon every time you sneeze it's a concussion.

But if the four concussions talk is true, then I'm off the bandwagon until the third round (or maybe off the board entirely).

And my pick for #28 (again, preferably after a trade down): Mychal Kendricks, followed by Ronnell Lewis with the late 2nd pick.

The second round is the round for linebackers this year.

What I liked about him is he seems the closest thing to JJ Watt in this draft - and what a pick he turned out to be for HOU. Who knows. I can't recall anyone counting college level concussions prior to draft day on any player, and I have followed my share of drafts going back to the early 90s and beyond. Is that smoke?

If the head isn't right, nothing else will work.

Pittsburgh's OLB don't have Matthew's talents, they just mold what they have into something that works. Although, Pittsburgh does tend to get lit up by good offenses and are a tad over-rated. Playing Cleveland and Cincinatti twice a year could tend to make your rankings better than you are.

Ar, thanks for posting, I liked everything I read except for McClellen. In my mind it would be important to research the concussions further. If they were all in the first two years and he's been free since then he could be worth the risk. If they've all been the last two years it would be "playing with fire" to take him. Could end up being a tough decision. I would be very happy if Ted Thompson can somehow get Brockers or Worthy with the first pick. I believe that would enable him to also get a rush OLB in the second. He'd most likely have to trade up in both rounds but that's fine with me. Anything more than that would be "frosting on the cake", which I think Ted Thompson can also deliver.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
