Several points:
1. I hate the "I'm offended" meme. Anyone else here old enough to remember the "sticks and stones" refrain?
2. Feel free to call me names anytime you want, Dakota. Anyone else who is tempted to call me names, feel free to, too. :)
3. Compared to what each of us really deserves as the result of our sins, being called a naughty name, or a thousand naughty names, is so trivial as to be laughable.
4. Obviously, I'm also an asshole.

Anyway, Wade the only thing I don't like about you is having to read novels on something you could have said in a paragraph. But that's my problem because I'm really lazy with the few entertainment hours I have for PH. But you knew that.

As for this teams needs, we have 4 stand out players: Rodgers, Matthews, Nelson, and Sitton. The rest of the team could be improved upon. No needs? Give me a break. Who came up with this topic?

You make the mistake of thinking I give a damn about those things. I don't think I used any names. So sorry if you feel offended. 😂

As the topic clearly states, "notable needs", are what is being focused on here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the point being made if we just remove our heads from asses for a minute to read before worrying about what we're going to spout off with.

I think depth behind the 22 starters is more concerning than the majority of the 22 starters.

OFFENSE
QB - Aaron Rodgers
RB - Eddie Lacy (post p90x)
WR1 - Jordy Nelson
WR2 - Randall Cobb
WR3 - Davante Adams (fingers crossed)
TE - Jared Cook (fingers crossed)
LT - David Bakhtiari
LG - Josh Sitton
C - Corey Linsley
RG - T.J. Lang
RT - Bryan Bulaga

If that offensive unit stays healthy, it's one helluva unit. The depth beyond those starters is very questionable to say the least. Hell, two of the starters are questionable.

DEFENSE
DE - Letroy Guion
NT - Mike Pennel
DT - Mike Daniels
LOLB - Clay Matthews
MLB - Jake Ryan
ROLB - Julius Peppers
LCB - Damarious Randall
RCB - Sam Shields
NB - Quiten Rollins
SS - Morgan Burnett
FS - Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix

The weak spot on defense has to be the middle linebacker Jake Ryan. If the Packers can add some DL depth to form a wickedly powerful defensive line, the linebackers will produce better.

Agree wholly with last paragraph. And I will not be surprised at all if Sitton is gone after this year. If he has another year like last year, the Pack might be able to afford him. On the other hand, if he has another year like last year, they'll be down to 3 stand out players.

You heard it here first: Ted will choose to spend big bucks to keep Bahktiari. And let both Sitton and Lang depart.

Needs are like what the Browns have at WR or the Saints have for their entire front seven.

That doesn't mean we're not awfully average at a lot of positions, though.

GBs need on the DL, IL or at OT is real but not as urgent as other teams need to find a decent QB.

We do "need" some guys on the Dline.

Raji retired, Datone moved to elephant and Pennell is gonna be suspended for the first .25 of the season.

Fortunately this draft is deep in that area.

I had originally listed Billings and Austin Johnson as guys I liked, but Micheal Rodney pointed out that we've got two guys (Guion and Pennell) who can play nose, so we have more of a "need" outside. That's true. Especially since Dom mainly uses a 2-4 scheme anyway.

beast (2h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (6h) : meh

Zero2Cool (10h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (10h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (10h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (14h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (14h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (16h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (17h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
