I agree with everything you said, but Ted Thompson strikes me as a stubborn man. Seldom does he give in. Actually the way he goes about free agency might give us an indication on how he treats the draft. I think if he's aggressive in free agency, then he'll be aggressive in the draft. If he's conservative as usual, then I see little to zero change.
My guess is Thompson is confident in the talent the team has and he will go about this draft the same way he has the others. That alone leads me to believe that Aaron Maybin is a serious contender.
I personally would be fine with either Jason Smith, Brian Orakpo, Everette Brown, or B.J. Raji. My preference is either Orakpo or Smith though. I think something people are ruling out is the left tackle. Clifton has one year left tops and I personally think he should be let go right now and GB doesn't have a potential franchise left tackle on their roster. They need to protect Rodgers as he is the franchise now.
