The Packers have a top 10 pick.

If number 8, 9, or 10 is there do you think what the Packers need is there or should Ted Thompson trade down and gather more picks to build for the future.

My question is, given that in all likelihood there will be a rookie salary cap in 2010, what team would want to trade up with the Packers in 2009, knowing they would have to pay a top-10 rookie a huge salary they probably wouldn't have to pay for an equivalent player in 2010?

How did you come to these draft positions? A quick glance through the standings and given the possibility of 7 total wins with "tie breakers" vs NO and Houston, I counted 12 teams that could conceivably finish with 7 or fewer wins. I didn't run all of the tie breakers, but if we drafted after all the other 7 win teams, that would put us at pick 13 - the absolute lowest position we can get.

We were slated to have the 10th pick in the draft going into today's games. JAX was slated to have the 7th pick. After our game, we may have moved to the 9th, 8th, or 7th pick, dependent upon the tie-breaker with the 49ers and the outcome of the Browns game. Obviously if we win both of our remaining games and everyone else loses, fall back in the order.

Rest assured, as of this writing we PRESENTLY hold the 10th pick, or better.
Jax now holds the 10th pick, or better, dependent upon THEIR tie breaker with others, and us . The 1st tie breaker in the draft is NOT head-to-head, but strength of schedule, so it IS complicated.

I asume he'll trade back, I'm just hoping he'll trade back for something like Round 1 - Pick 18, Round 3 - Pick 18 and not getting about 20 low draft picks.

We really need some quality over quantity now, we have enough projects on our team atm, imo.

What should the Packers do?

Stay put and take the best lineman on the board. Whether it's a DE, DT, OG, or OT.

My guess is probably not a guard at that point. The only player I'd trade down for is Tyson Jackson and maybe Michael Johnson.

Of course it depends on what happens in free agency, but then again nothing ever happens in free agency so my assumption is this first pick absolutely needs to be an impact player for this team to advance.

If McCoy from OU comes out, he certainly has a chance to go in the top 15. Greg Hardy of Mississippi is probably the best 4-3 DE in the draft.

You are fired. :thumbleft:

Trade back, hopefully to around 20-23rd pick. Dependent upon where we finish in the draft order, should be at LEAST a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In a deep line draft. As you stand there in outrage at such a concept, contemplate the fact that there is a very, very high probability that the TWO best guards in the country and the BEST center in the country will ALL be on the board this year in SECOND round. We will have 3 second round picks in my scenario. The problem will be in finding a trade partner, of course there are many factors in that, not the least of which is the possibility/calculation that there might be a rookie salary cap coming in 2010. This factor WILL be considered come draft day, imo.

First things first.

We have to blow the last two games.

I can take it. Hell my other team is "The Raidaahs."

It will make it all that much more of a special and sweet draft party.

I could care less about the Bears game, but for god sakes, don't lose to the lions.

I say go with a Defensive lineman, probably DE. That might not be what he's gonna do, but he should.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : 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.
