I just heard that Todd McShay's mock draft has the Packers getting Melvin Gordon at #30.

I would jump for joy if that came true!

This your first year looking at mock drafts. Way too early to get rocks off, Texas.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I saw one mock draft today that had Gordon going to Indy one pick ahead of Green Bay. I wonder if that would be how we'd find out how many cuss words Tex knows. I bet almost as many as if he goes to Seattle one pick AFTER Green Bay.

Running Back's are not highly valued anymore and there several teams ahead of the Packers who do not have a Eddie Lacy and James Starks.

James Starks for 2015: $1.175 million
Eddie Lacy for 2015: $713,401, 2016: $867,602

Melvin Gordon will most likely go around picks 20-25 although a couple teams later could snatch him too.

20 Eagles: I believe there is some contract issues with LeSean McCoy and Gordon would probably tear crap up in that Chip offense
25 Panthers: their running backs are aged quite a bit for their position
26 Ravens: Justin Forsett is 29 years old and has not yet been signed
27 Cowboys: they probably drop the money truck for Dez and let Murray walk so Gordon here makes sense
29 Colts: After giving up a 1st for Bust Richardson, why not use a 1st on Gordon?

A dark horse in the Melvin Gordon sweepstakes would be the Vikings. If they truly do not want Peterson back, they could trade down ~10 spots, acquire more picks and still get Gordon.

Bottom line though, again, Packers will not draft Melvin Gordon in the 1st round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Troy Aikman has a better chance of being the offensive coordinator for the Packers.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (2h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (3h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (16h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
