2012 Packers Draft Needs· Page 8

I thought the thread was about the Packers draft needs, not whether Mario Williams is a DE in the 4 - 3, or a OLB in the 3 - 4. I think you're right, he's probably better at DE than OLB. Although he sure did well at OLB in those few games. That's pretty damn impressive, no denying that. I wouldn't mind the Packers picking him up, I just don't like the idea of making him the top paid defensive player in the NFL. And Mario Williams has said he's not looking for money, he's looking for the right place.

Even if the Packers land Mario Williams, I think they still have to draft another prospect because of the injury bug he seems to have.

Look at the games Mario played and who he lined up against for his stats and you'll have a lot better idea of what he is as a player.

I'd rather spend 50 million on several serviceable players like safeties and corners that aren't to big a pussies to tackle somebody.

Personally, I think the likelihood that Ted Thompson will spend $50 million in signing bonuses for free agents, whether on one player or several, is simply slim to none.

To speak to the original thread:

I don't care which comes in which round, but I want the first four picks to be OL, OL, DL, OLB.

(and another OL in the 7th round so I get "OL OL OL")

I've been reading that this is shapping up to be a good draft for OLB, G and DT/NT's. If G is the best overall at the Packers selection, I'm down. But if it comes to a T vs OLB or NT... I think it would be silly to use it on another Tackle... unless the Packers have already decided that Sherrod cannot play T on either side and is going to be a G or cut or just gone. You don't use a first round pick on a backup T when you have so many holes on defense.

Who said anything about using the first round pick on a backup tackle. I said "I don't care which comes in which of the rounds." I want two OL out of the first four picks.

NOT STOP SAYING THE PACKERS SHOULD DRAFT ANOTHER TACKLE IN THE FIRST ROUND!! Muwhahahahaha

PS, great idea just popped up. Packers should franchise Matt Flynn, then trade him straight up for Daryn Colledge. Then the OL will be set because Daryn Colledge will make the LT look better as he did in '10 for the Packers.

According to Ty Dunne of JS Twitter: Thompson repeated that he's going to take the best player available and not stretch for needs.

Really hoping the best player available is a friggin' OLB or DE...

I think if some of you sat down and played poker with Uncle Ted, he'd have you broke and naked after 5 hands. Ted Thompson never tips his hand as to what he is going to do.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
