Defensive end.
Someone that can put FEAR into opposing QB's.
Last year, we had NO one that could do that. QB's had all day to find an open receiver, and i don't care HOW good you cover, you can't cover a guy forever.

I'd like to see a NT.

We have a huge need a DE too, but a solid NT is more important in the success of the 3-4. Plus, there's likely guys like Mitch King in the 3rd or 4th round that can be converted to DEs in our scheme.

I can't believe how people would think CB is a need. I many NFL experts have us taking Malcolm Jenkins and then dhpackr above wants him too. We Have Harris and Woodson, given they are old, but still clearly our starters. Tramon is the best nickel-back one could ask for, would start for many other teams. We have Patrick Lee, who has tons of potential, a 2nd rounder from last year. Will Blackmon deserves a spot with his CB skills, and he is also our main return guy and did a hell of a job with punts last year. And of course Jarrett Bush, whom I hate, but Ted Thompson can't seem to let go of him, because he's a "special teams gunner". Draft Malcolm Jenkins and we have 7 CBs who will make the 53-man roster. Most teams have 5. Then add the fact that we need to keep lots of LBs because we're not sure who works in the new system yet.

Final point: CB IS NOT A NEED!!

I think our biggest need would be a DE, one that can play that spot in a 3-4 look.

Cracked me up... for someone that is sick of the 3-4 4-3 talk.. then turns around and starts a defensive needs thread.. lol.

The irony.. you have to look into the alignment and shortcomings to answer this question.. no?

With the age of Woodson and Harris you have to ask if guys like Lee, Williams, Blackmon, and Bush are ready to be starters. I'm not sure they are.

Yes, but see, that can be dealt with at a more appropriate time, like when they are close to quitting, which isn't happening now. You have to keep in mind that while you may think we need a CB because Woodson and Harris are old, we can't keep 7 CBs on a roster.

PS. By the time Harris quits, I think Tramon can be a starter, and when Woodson does, Lee has tapped into that almost unlimited potential of his.

wpr (1h) : 5 days
beast (20h) : 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
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
