Jimmy Graham was actually on my unreasonable list.

Graham is a tall WR and the Seahawks at times have asked him to play like a blocking TE, and as you might expect, it's had a lot of bad results. Get him with a better OL (so he doesn't have to block so much) and use him more like a possession WR and I think some team could have a great weapon.

This is the five I would target without going into major analysis of what we currently have and in-depth of what is out there.

DE Demarcus Lawrence
DT Sheldon Richardson
CB Malcolm Butler (only if he lasts past the first rush of free agent signings)
WR Josh Gordon
CB Trumaine Johnson

The thing with depending on the draft to fill holes instead of free agency is, rookies are an unknown commodity. A veteran presence is known. A rookie may be good, but often takes time to develope and doesn't give immediate help for the current season.
That's what cost the Packers for the last several seasons. Depending on new guys to keep the defense afloat.

Packers should be targeting CB, OLB, TE and WR period... and maybe a RT and backup QB too. By that I mean they need to know all the guys on the market (especially their talent level and how they'd fit in the Packers scheme) and what they would be willing to offer for their services.

Most important player on that list of free agents is Morgan Burnett...

I'd love Josh Gordon but he is an exclusive rights free agent and according to what I could find his price tag would be under a million for the Browns and if they make that offer no one else could sign him.

Unless the Browns cut him he ain't going anywhere and after sticking with him through all this I don't see why they would do that.

dfosterf (4h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (5h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (5h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (5h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (9h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
