Play GM for a minute.. looking forward what position would you have your scouts spend the most time on between now and April?


For me.. it is an easy one.. I would focus this next draft along the lines.. Oline first followed by Dline.

Running Back

We need a stellar player at that position.

I'm half tempted to add K, P and QB to that list.

I voted corner.

1) I love corners, and I don't think you can have enough of 'em.

2) I don't want any more youth on the OL -- I want one or two guys who I KNOW can do the job on this level. We've got enough young depth. I'm not saying I want some 10-year vet we'll just have to replace again in a year or two, but I want someone who's shown they can get the job done.

3) Same applies to DL, provided that Jenkins comes back healthy next year and Jeremy Thomson keeps showing.

Beyond that, I have a hard time finding a spot where I think we truly lack young, quality depth, so I'd say Ted can go BPA like he loves to do.

LOL.. the assumption is that we don't sign Free Agents.. wait maybe that should be reality. :lol:

The Oline is filled with converted tackles to guards.. I voted a honest to goodness true guard with interior footwork and stance.. not converted tackles.

I picked O-line guard, but really I think it would be who the best player available on either the O-line or D-line. A player who can tackle on D would be nice. We have been pretty weak with tackling in open space on D this season.

I went for a DE because it's so hard to get a good one I felt our chances would be better for a good one with the first pick. Although I think OL,especially the interior, is a bigger priority it is usually easier to pick up good ones after the first round, with the exception of LT.

Actually I'm happy when we can upgrade any postion. How often haven't we seen a position of strength decimated by injury and/or defection.

I voted OT ... assuming that Colledge is going to take Cliffy's job sometime in the future, we should be preparing for Tauscher's decline as linemen take a while to develop.

You forgot LB... :lol:

I went overboard already.. assumptions 2 QB's this year and about 8 deep at LBer are enough.

Punter though... hmmm ... can you imagine the stir taking a punter in round one would cause.. Sherman would be vindicated. :lol:

Re: the bolded part above -- totally true, and I really think that Thompson's coming to a point in his career @ GB where he needs to prove that he actually can play the Free Agents game. Dude's a killer when it comes to the draft, but (JMO, here) we're stuffed to the gills with young talent and potential. Potential is all well and good, but I want to see him show he can court and land some proven NFL players.

I know, I'm crazy.

    Zero2Cool (11h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (15h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (15h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (17h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (17h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (19h) : 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?

    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?
