OT seems to be all over the map this year. I've see lists that have 2 in the top 45 and I've seen list with 4 in the top 35. I've seen Jonah Williams rated as the 5th best talent overall in the draft and I've seem him projected as a late 1st early 2nd rounder though most have him top 10 at least and the #1 tackle. It would appear that if we are interested in an OT at #12 Williams will probably be gone so our best bets will be Greg Little, or David Edwards with Jaawan Taylor being a wildcard. I've seen him all over the map as well.

The thing is, between Williams, Oliver, Simmons, Brown and Gary, one of those guys is bound to fall right in our lap, just because there's so much talent at the DE/DT position this year. There's no way I'm reaching for a tackle in that case. Not even if it actually was a proper need.

To be honest, I'd rather capitalize on that amazing talent left at 12 by trading down than by picking one of the pass-blocking tackles. If you can get Bulaga back for a reasonable price, you're set for the next 3 years, at least.

Next to that, I'm still rooting for a DE/OLB and I still think Montez Sweat will climb up the draft boards to somewhere around our pick.

take edwards and move bulaga to guard

Slightly off topic, but Dan Kadar has the Packers taking a tight end at No. 31 :

31. Green Bay Packers: (via New Orleans): T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Hockenson, a redshirt sophomore, is being coy about his intentions  regarding the 2019 draft. If he does go pro, Hockenson is arguably the best tight end in the draft. He leads Iowa in receptions and receiving yards, and he’s equally as good as a blocker. He can be a nice check-down target for Aaron Rodgers, who seems to need all the help he can get.

It sounds great in theory. My problem with the idea is that I don't know if Aaron Rodgers has the mentality to make optimal use of another check-down target. He had a couple this year, and he pretty much ignored them the entire season. It'll probably take a sweeping change in offensive mentality for Rodgers to consistently harness the power of a tight end gifted at running short routes.

    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
