I agree with this, but I wonder if Bulaga's exorbitant contract would prevent such a move.

Now, I'm not the kind of person to say we have a problem and not pose a solution. So here's my expert solution. I draft two Tackles to solve this problem. 1st round at 27, I take Taylor Decker 6'8" 310 to play left side and for right side I use my 2nd round pick at @55 to take Germain Ifedi 6'6" 324.

Problem being we still have a decent contract with Bulaga and then you have bookend tackles whose contracts expire at the same time. Could become financially very expensive if our negotiating leverage is reduced.

Bryan Bulaga would still start at Right Tackle. The new drafted guys would battle it out for Left Tackle. Then next off-season we trade Bulaga to someone for a homerun 3rd down back.

I would also draft two DL in 3rd and 4th around and the remaining picks I would take the best football players available at my slot.


That my friends is the recipe for Super Bowl 51 championship victory parade happiness. And if the Packers do not win it it all, I will come back to this scenario and point out that if they had done what I said, we would have won it all.

The only ways I wouldn't draft Decker if he falls to #27 is if one of my three top DL (Buckner, Billings, Robinson) also fell.

Of course I don't expect any of those four players to be available at #27; indeed I would expect any of the three DL would probably require that second to trade up. You might be able to get Decker by trading the fourth if he falls to 20 or farther.


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
