The Packers' top pick is No. 32 overall. Here are the past seven players taken in that spot, with their NFL team in parentheses:

2010: Cornerback Patrick Robinson (New Orleans Saints)

2009: Defensive tackle Ziggy Hood (Pittsburgh Steelers)

2008: Defensive end Phillip Merling (Miami Dolphins)*

2007: Receiver Anthony Gonzalez (Indianapolis Colts)

2006: Defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka (New York Giants)

2005: Offensive guard Logan Mankins (New England Patriots)

2004: Tight end Benjamin Watson (New England Patriots)

*First pick of second round.

ANALYSIS: There are some awfully productive players on this list. Part of the reason is that the previous year's most successful organization was in that spot and thus was more likely to make a good scouting decision. But it also tells us the Packers should have an opportunity to select a player who can make an immediate impact as long as they don't limit themselves to certain positions.

I think at #32 Ted will be looking for the best football player he has on his own board. He believes that a good football player will find the field and help the team.

To me, the further down in the draft you fall the more positions you open up and picking last I think they ALL open up.

I think we trade back this year because there are going to be a few teams that are QB light and will want Ponder, Locker, and Mallet.

I still like War's idea about 4 picks in rounds 2 & 3, which is usually the sweat spot of the draft where some of the best value lies.

Dakota, I have a question. Once a team has made a selection can they then trade that selection for other draft spots later? I know you normally could but with this CBA crap I don't really know.

Here is my thinking. IF Ted cannot find a trade partner what if he took LOCKER at #32?

Here's why. NE is sitting at #33 and teams know they like to make trades. So Ted undercuts them and some team early in round two trades with us so that Ted can get into that multipe 2nd and 3rd round position I think he would love to be in.

In the mean time he screws NE which wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

Can you imagine all the calls being made right about then and the negotiating going on and then the Packer take Locker? There would be GM's hanging up on GM's trying to get to Thompson first.

Can't do it. As soon as the pick is made, it becomes a player. You can't trade players until the lockout is lifted.
