I am wondering if Ted will gamble and let the guys test the market. They are saying that there are a bunch of guys on the DL available this year. I have to admit that the DL was pretty good and seemed to develop a good chemistry. I would certainly like to keep the guys on a 2 year deal and draft a guy in the later rounds for competition and depth.

I have to admit I am intrigued if Su'a could be our answer at ILB. The kid is flat out fast. Seems like we like guys who can play many positions. Well this kid appears to be able to do that. Not sure if he is big enough to play ILB in the NFL, but like I said I am intrigued.

Not sure how this guy would work in our scheme but we all know that ain't going to be a validation for not drafting him or anyone else.

Hunter Henry was brought up in this thread and I brought him up in another...that is a Ted Thompson pick. White offensive skill player. Not sure he's going to be able to resist if he's there at 27. I'd be more than fine with that at least giving the position some love but I have a feeling Ted Thompson probably feels our PS TE can be just as good. Shoot, they both have Henry for the last name. We'll be stuck with Mitchell, I fear, and not Hunter when the draft dust settles.

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."

I'll throw out another name: Shilique Calhoun. Peppers is a physical freak, but he can't play forever. Calhoun could learn under Peppers/Matthews, continue to develop physically, and be a starter by 2017.

Do what it takes to get one of the OTs. Improve protection and run blocking and the team as is would be hard to stop.

I don't see any of the ILBers being a huge improvement for the team. We have guys who can play the run. When we were up against the better TEs we were not covering them with LBers we were using Safties because they have about the same height as LBers and have better speed and quickness and I expect that to be something that continues so if we want to improve the middle, look for 6'3" safeties that are about 225lbs.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Hey Shades that wasn't a bad video but we all know Ted Thompson won't draft a WR in the 1st round lol, passed on Crabtree and also passed on Dez to take on the whale. Also in the video it seems like he can run a slant route and a fly pattern and not much across the middle.

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

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

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

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!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...
