Do you agree with the Packers taking WR in Round 1?

#27 Green Bay Packers: Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State

Height / Weight:
6-3 / 210

I've had the Packers going with a defensive player for quite a while now, but it has become clear that Ted Thompson needs to find help for Aaron Rodgers. The receiving corps will be better with Jordy Nelson back next year, but it's in complete shambles right now, so a third starter to replace the anemic Davante Adams or mediocre James Jones could be obtained.

Pick change; previously Scooby Wright, LB

Hell no.
Jordy will be back, Montgomery will be healthy, if we add Abby and Janis WR will be our deepest position.

If you ask me to draft by need and not BPA then I would go:

Round 1: ILB
Round 2: OLB
Round 3: TE
Round 4: T
Round 5: S
Round 6: CB
Round 7: WR

Totally agree with Luis on this one. If the BPA is an ILB that would be great. Would like to see a Tackle drafted as well. Much of the draft need IMO will depend on what Ted does with our FAs. If we sign Neal and Perry then the requirement for an OLB goes down. We still need to find a way to get Clay back at OLB full time.

I would rather draft a TE than WR unless they have special ST qualities as a return guy. Still wish we would have hit on Lockett last year.

Michael Thomas certainly has the size, but I don't see the technique I like from a WR. I want somebody who can run routes and can catch the ball with his HANDS.

You look at Odell Beckham. He doesn't look intimidating at all, and while his pre-game routine is pretty flashy and stupid, the man deserves every bit of attention he's getting.

Ted won't take wr in the 1st rnd.

His success has been picking wr's in the 2nd .

Maybe he will trade out of the 1st and take Thomas in the 2nd if he is still there.

Gonna join the crazy crowd for a second and say The Packers trade Aaron Rodgers to Tennessee for that. #1 overall and grab Joey Bosa!
😄😄😄😄

Thankfully Ted and Mike don't give up on young guys as fast as some of the members here.

Plenty of FA's to be evaluated and signed or let go before draft needs are determined.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I say pick up a second tier possession WR in free agency this off season. I'd like to see us draft a left tackle with the first round pick and an inside linebacker that can play sideline to sideline and cover a running back. The game last night could have been a lot different had Bridgewater hit McKinnon on a couple of those plays last night. I had flashbacks to AJ Hawk in coverage watching Ryan trailing the play by five yards.

I'd be down for a receiver in the first if he was a true game changer. To me that would have made a world of difference this year. Jordy is 30 coming off a torn acl. Cobb is no number one. Some want Adams cut. I am Ty fan #1, but he has produced less than Adams did his rookie season and now he is our savior? Janis, really? If the staff had any trust at all in him as a receiver don't you think he would be getting snaps? Abracadabra is a stud get him on the field!

We should probably draft a few Wrs and TE because if the shelves in GB aren't fully stocked with great talent Aaron Rodgers apparently turns into Ryan Fitzpatrick

Jordy is coming off 2 surgeries in the last 12 months and will be 32? We can't assume he's magically going to be 2014 Jordy.

Additionally, if this season hasn't shown us wr talent is among the top priorities of this team, I don't know what will. I'm not saying get a wr in the 1st, but we need someone who is fast/elusive/good route runner...we already have a roster full of plodders with good hands or burners who can't run a route.

Unless he projects as a OT, we should probably look at somebody else. We need an Oline that can push defensive lines around, for the run game and passing game alike.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

packerfanoutwest (4h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (4h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (4h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (4h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (5h) : Who? What?

beast (14h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (18h) : meh

Zero2Cool (22h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (22h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 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
