If the Baldwin kid from Pitt drops to us, let's take him and say goodbye to Mr. Jones. 6-5 possession receiver with a huge upside. He and Finley would be death in the red zone.

I have seen this pick in some mocks. It would make more sense to me to do this and take Reed in the 2nd round. The thing is there has been talk about some attitude issues with Baldwin and Ted likes high character guys.

He will be humbled quickly competing against Driver, Jennings, and Jorde. Wouldn't be a problem. I'm not sold on Reed, he looks a little stiff in the hips - but at 64, might be pretty good value. I don't see Reed as any better than what we already have in house.

I'm gonna throw out a question for you all. I'm being serious. Do you guys like talking about who the Packers will draft? Even after the draft is over and Uncle Ted doesn't take any of those guys you think he's gonna take (other than first round, perhaps)? I'm not big into college football so I'm usually only familiar with the round one talent. But I see how much some of you go on and on about who we're gonna end up with; I'd be so frustrated if I put that amount of time, energy, and thought into it, then end up flummoxed by Ted's picks in the end.

My sister has an uncertain future. Single mom, no education, just laid off in this economy. James Jones will be fine.

I'm on your side so I see your point, but I think the reason that people talk about it so much is because there isn't much else to talk about right now in the NFL other than the lockout. Seeing Ted choose different players than those they have predicted is much less depressing than talking about a lockout.

+ 1 slapynuts for using the term 'flummoxed.' I too feel that I would be bamboozled by Ted and his moves, but I only half-heartedly follow college so can't say much about the draft either.

I'm not sold on Reed, he looks a little stiff in the hips - but at 64, might be pretty good value. I don't see Reed as any better than what we already have in house.

Dude, if we're taking a guy that's 64, it's no wonder he's a little stiff in the hips!

James Jones is a hit or miss for the Packers. They can surely use him, but I think they can manage without him as well.

I don't like that he uses #'s as far as depth because as previously discussed, do we really have a depth chart at wide receiver other than Greg Jennings being #1 and Brett Swain being #5? Also, he shouldn't make comparisons with Donald Driver because Driver takes the routes that receivers usually don't have the balls to run.

James Jones is more about the money than he is about winning. If a struggling team like Carolina offered James Jones starter money and an actual starting position (an offer Ted Thompson would refuse to match), James Jones would probably be the happiest man in the world knowing the cash he is going to make and not give a damn about how many games his team loses. He just kind of comes off as that type of player.

James Jones is a big threat when Jermichael Finley is not on the field. Let's face it, as of now I believe Jermichael Finley is injury prone. If Finley goes down again next year and Jones is gone, thats a double whammy for our receiving core. Jones was able to add to the passing game with no Finley around.

Now if Finley is able to stick around an entire season, Jones can go where ever he wants to because each receiver (accept Jennings) will most likely see a dramatic decrease in their number of receptions.

Personally, I have gone back and forth on Jones and I hope he is able to stay. There isn't much talent that can be taken in the later rounds of the draft to make up for the loss of Jones.

I admit i don't know much about the college players. But there are some that for them, it's their hobby. They enjoy drawing up who they think will pick who. So for them, it's a fun (and i'm sure frustrating) thing.

beast (15h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.
Zero2Cool (16h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander
Zero2Cool (16h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.
dfosterf (16h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc
dfosterf (16h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up
Zero2Cool (17h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
Zero2Cool (17h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
Zero2Cool (17h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
dfosterf (17h) : Hats off to the Beast
dfosterf (17h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season
beast (17h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games
Zero2Cool (18h) : BTW, not serious.
Zero2Cool (18h) : You don't care about it either!!!!
Zero2Cool (18h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.
Mucky Tundra (22h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest
beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision
beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue
beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉
beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan
beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast
beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
