The CB position's for the Packers NEEDSgood players. I believe that Ted Thompson will draft a CB first and call it the Best Player available.

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."

CB, LB are obvious. But DT and RB aren't out of the question either. Although I'm not a fan of spending first round picks on RB anymore, one of those guys (Gurley, Gordon) could be at the top of Ted's board edit when the time comes to pick.

If Gordon is there and is rated higher than say Kendricks, I would bet anything Ted Thompson goes Kendricks due to need and I don's really disagree as long as it's close. If Gordon is way above anyone on the board, I would hope he doesn't reach for need...that is killer. Datone Jones comes to mind.

I believe that it was Steve that posted the comment about a week ago about how we never know what will happen and key injuries can make need a very different thing once the season gets rolling. I am hopeful for a CB with the first pick, but if somebody talented falls (Gregory) that is too good to pass up on, we have to select them.

If the line is so close or very close then I can see leaning towards need. But if a general manager believes that a player is truly better than another, I think it's a huge mistake to pass on them for need. That's often the difference between a player that plays in the league for 10 years and one that barely has any success and never gets a second contract with the team that drafted him, at best.

Ted does that. The players are rated, and then equally valuable players are also sub-rated by need.

It's easier to do that now that our roster is stocked.
