I will say 1 player I was originally against just because I don't really like the type is Louis Nix but I started watching some of his games and he started to grow on me. He's your typical 2 gap nose tackle type but he stood out to me because it seemed like he was spending a lot of his plays in the opponents back field. He's not going to be the guy who brings down the QB but he'll sure make it hard for him to step up. Just a thought of someone they might go with since I'd rather not re-sign Raji even if he has a good year (don't trust him to perform after a payday).

One thing I do like about him vs Raji is he acutally has some good pass rush moves where if Raji doesn't win with his initial burst off the snap he just stands there hand fighting.

I am a fan of of taking an ILB. It fills a need at ILB and it improves the DL.

At ILB I don't see that happening. Mosely MAYBE. Shazier may prove he can be that good but moving a guy inside is risky. I guess when I look at the top LB groups in the league I don't see anybody in this draft that has that kind of talent to say we are catching up with them.

Getting BETTER maybe but not approaching the talent level of the 49'rs or Seattle.

Just because of this thread I went back to film of Mosley and Shazier.

After careful analysis I hope Darqueze Dennard falls to #21 [grin1]

beast (3h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (7h) : meh

Zero2Cool (11h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (11h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (14h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (14h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (17h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (18h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

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.

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.
