I hope we being to draft more guys:
- who have performed at a high level
- who have delivered at key times
- against quality competition

We don't need guys who magically perform well in underwear drills at the combine (when it does matter). Track history of successful game performance should be paramount in player selection.

Early reports on Davenport aren't very good from the Senior Bowl. Very raw and unable to do anything in the 1-on-1s.

I wouldn't mind taking him, but I expect his Senior Bowl appearance to drop him out of 1st round talks. Maybe a 2nd round option?

Davenport + Key are the two players I'm most excited about drafting. Their potential is off the charts usually the Packers don't have a chance to draft anyone like this unless they had some serious character flaws. If neither of them is there at #14 i'd pick another position or trade down and select Landry in the 20's.

Edit: With 5 to 6 QBs likely to be drafted in the 1st round there should be atleast one player with a top 10 grade who slides to #14, or there will be some QB hungry team that makes an offer for the pick to get their guy.

If we get an edge rusher, I feel like he needs to be able to play with his hand in the dirt and standing up. We need to be interchangable when it comes to that position. He's not as big as Perry but he's faster. He's 21, so he can put on weight. His potential is very high. For that reason, I don't think he lasts to our pick.

1) TT's new role is to scout and recommend players. He does not make the picks or the deals moving forward.

2) GB's new GM should already have a very good idea of who he would like to Draft, acquire in Free Agency, or retain from the 2017 Roster. The difference for 2018 is what will GB's new GM see as direction he will lead the team.

3) Opinions are like noses, we all have one. As for me, I think GB needs pass rusher(s) that terrorize opposing teams/QBs. Draft'em, get Free Agents, or discover one in Russia, but get'em.

4) Injuries will/should heal with the off season. Players like Rodgers, Montgomery, and others will return. In addition, some will begin their 2nd year in the league with valuable experience gained.

5) With a new GM and Coaches, players will need to fit into a changing environment. Let us try to be optimistic as to the direction that the Packers will take shall be a winning one.

I think they're more along the line of Julius Peppers than say a Clay Mathews, either can play from OLB or DE in a traditional 4-3 when they're a little bigger. With Clark + Daniels pushing the middle, and Mathews/Perry (whoever is healthy) rushing one side, the Packers just need one more good edge rusher to have a dominate pass rush.

I'm a believer in the dominate pass rush being able to make up for a questionable secondary. If the Packers draft a CB I'll understand it but i'm really pulling for someone who can get after the quarterback.

I can't help but wonder if they kept Ted to just be nice to him. Not just axe him.

And no "prospect" is more then that, a prospect. As we have seen before, success at the college level doesn't always mean success at the pro level. It's all a crap shoot.
If you get lucky, you get someone actually good.
And with Ted not controlling the draft picks, maybe we won't pick a guy in the first round with great potential, who has a bad knee, bad ankle, bad hamstring and concussion issues.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
