Packer in great position on Day 3

With 7 picks picks remaining on Day 3, only one team has more picks left than Green Bay (Minnesota has 9, Pittsburgh and Cleveland also have 7 picks). We should be able to make some more moves to shore up depth along the offensive line, secondary, and at running back today. As always, I expect Ted to be aggressive with undrafted free agents as well.

Some serious talent still available on Day 3. Should be interesting to see which new guys we add.

These guys were all drafted last year in rounds 4-7:

R4:
Davon House
R5:
DJ Williams
R6:
Caleb Schlauderaff
DJ Smith
Ricky Elmore
R7:
Ryan Taylor
Lawrence Guy

I know 1 year is not enough time to evaluated these guys, but after looking at those name I'm starting to believe that trading up is the right move. None of the those guys were major contributors. I think its in our best interest to get some more 4th round talent and then sign a bunch of undrafted free agents.

With a team that was 15-1 quality should be valued over quantity.

You don't get contributions from 4-7 round picks in the first year without injuries. I think House and DJ Smith have bright futures ahead of them.

We have two comp picks at the bottom of the 4th. Those are untradeable. I don't think we have a regular 4th rounder.

Thanks millertime for the info from last year. Taylor looks like a steal with his STs contributions. I can't wait to see what DJ WIlliams does with a year under his belt. I'm really hoping we see the Lawrence Guy that Ted wanted to see when he made that pick.

Here's a quick look at what we were able to get in 2010 draft (check out after the 4th round):

1(23) Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa

2(56) Mike Neal DT Purdue

3(71) Morgan Burnett S Georgia Tech

5(154) Andrew Quarless TE Penn State

5(169) Marshall Newhouse OT/OG TCU

6(193) James Starks RB Buffalo

7(230) C.J. Wilson DE East Carolina

So, after R4 we were able to land some pretty significant contributors. We could wind up having an epic draft this year, when its all said and done... with 7 picks left!!! Holy crap!

dfosterf (15m) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (15m) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (1h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (1h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (1h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (1h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (1h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (1h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (1h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (2h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (2h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (3h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (4h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (4h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
