I see a trade out of the 1st round happening. If that is the case, I would hop in the 2nd they go with Quincy Wilson or Tyus Bowser.

I want the Mixon kid. Then in the second round I want a big, nasty road grader to plug in at RG. I want our offense to score 40 points a game.

Our corners were beat up all year last year, they aren't as bad as what we watched in Atlanta. And having House instead of Shields on IR should be a big plus.

Hitting the woman when he was a freshman might have been overlooked as just one of those things except for his over reaction when given a parking ticket just a few months ago.

That and Teddy doesn't seem to believe in drafting a RB in the 1st round even when given the chance.

Mixon doesn't seem to be Teddy's style. Who knows, since he is only 20 perhaps Teddy will do something surprising.

I am on board with your thoughts on the Packers and taking risks with players having this sort of behavior. The Packers had Mixon in for a visit though and I think if he is there in the 2nd round, the Packers attempt everything possible to get him. Having him in for a visit is the only thing that makes me think this way.

How would Packers fans feel about this selection if it did happen?

I haven't read many mocks tbh. I just like the way he plays and really think it is important to add a legit OLB that has pass rushing abilities. This will free Clay up to be that "anywhere" type linebacker that I think he excels at more than just playing OLB.

I for one, would be fine with that.
Once Lacy was out, having to depend on a guy that was drafted as a WR, a guy nobody wanted, and a UDFA
didn't sit well with me.
Getting a real, well rounded running back would go a long way to heal that wound that is festering.

yooperfan , did you say that you were festering ? You might want to visit a Clinic .

As for Montgomery , he has shown that his talents extend beyond the WR position. I believe that he will have an even better year this year at the RB position . As for drafting a RB , IMO value can be found in the 4th round or in the free agents still floating around or that will become available.

If Mixon is available by GB's 4th Draft selection , I say give him a try and see what develops. I'm quite sure that Mixon must be fully aware that his behavior would be very closely monitored .

GB NEEDS TO DRAFT THE BEST AVAILABLE CB FIRST !!! [nohair]

As long as it's the best player they can get and couldn't get the same player by trading back, I am good with it.

I think it's stupid (I use stupid here because in Madden I would do this lol) to take the best available at a certain position because you scout for a reason.

You never know what your position of need is until it's too late, this is why you always draft the best players available. One day you could be loaded at WR and after two pre-season games you are down your WR1 and WR2 and you passed on DeAandre Hopkins to fill a "position of need" from freaking April.

DRAFT BEST PLAYERS AVAILABLE!!!

A good question is who the hell is that going to be? I am college talent ignorant so I couldn't tell ya, but screw it, GO PACK GO!!

I'll kill 2 birds with one post.

My all "name" team from 1st pick.

Round 1 Pick 29: Budda Baker, FS, Washington (B)
Round 2 Pick 29: Obi Melifonwu, SS, Connecticut (A+)
Round 3 Pick 29: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (A-)
Round 4 Pick 27: Jessamen Dunker, OG, Tennessee State (A)
Round 5 Pick 28: Corn Elder, CB, Miami (Fla.) (A+)
Round 5 Pick 38 (COMP): James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh (A)
Round 6 Pick 28: Stevie Tu'ikolovatu, DT, Southern California (B+)
Round 7 Pick 29: Amba Etta-Tawo, WR, Syracuse (B+)

Budda Baker is my choice if Ted doesn't draft down.

Ted fineds someone in the top 5 of the 2nd round, then I see him trading out and taking T. J. Watt.

The guy had a major lapse of judgment. At least he wasn't grabbing pussies, that'll land you in the Oval Office these days.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (5h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (5h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (5h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (5h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (6h) : Who? What?
beast (15h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (19h) : meh
Zero2Cool (23h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (23h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (23h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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
