So we all know that the "battery" (NT, ILB and S) of our defense needs upgrades this upcoming draft. In an ideal world we select three players that step in and instantly help. But as we've found out the hard way in the past, that's probably not gonna happen. Furthermore, nabbing talent at these positions at the top of the draft would burn 3 up picks when other positions could use addressing such as C or TE as well as the fact that this is a deep draft at WR. We'll assume that at each pick the team has a NT, ILB and S rated equally. Pick two.

We don't need a nose tackle. BJ Raji is going to play is fat ass off, and Jolly will back him up. We don't need a safety cause Micah Hyde and Richardson are going to do the job. We need a 6-4 receiver and an athletic tight end.

As the draft moves closer I am desiring more and more that big offensive target who can make linebackers pay. We'll see what happens.

I'll take S and NT. Raji horrifies me in the middle given his tanking nature. Hope Boyd makes a jump or they better play more 4-3 than anyone expects.

Tired of MD Jennings types at Safety...not in stature but in ability to make plays back there. Like most, I have a feeling they have overvalued Hyde and think they're going to be fine back there.

Guess that means Nix and Ward?

ILB Borland may be able to be had even later than the 3rd as well as the oft talked about Bullough.

Still, I'm with Dakota... a TE and WR makes more than enough good sense. Everyone is thinking it's going to be D selected up high but I'm not so sure that is how it will go.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Between lack of playmaking at S, lack of ILB depth in this draft and Raji being inconsistent/playing on a one year deal/TT penchant for looking for big bodies early ultimately I think they value those two positions early over ILB. Plus I think they're higher on Hawk and Jones then we are as well as optimistic about Lattimore taking a step up.

Nice to see someone else who wouldn't mind a high pick on a TE👍

Which two positions would you prioritize?

Clearly, we need more than one Safety and ILB in the early rounds. As much of a fat piece of shit Raji is, we do NOT need to compound the problem by drafting another fat piece of shit NT. We have several quality MOBILE D-Linemen who would be a lot better there, in addition to Jolly as a backup.

Unless some really highly rated TE or WR falls to us in any given round, we also do not need a TE or WR. The same could be said for Corner or OLB - no real need, but after we fill the need at Safety and ILB, and if one falls to us, grab him.

I would rather compile a list of "do not draft", at least not early - D-Line at the top of the list along with QB and RB. I would also put O-Line in the do not draft early category.

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
