Jimmy Graham was actually on my unreasonable list.

Graham is a tall WR and the Seahawks at times have asked him to play like a blocking TE, and as you might expect, it's had a lot of bad results. Get him with a better OL (so he doesn't have to block so much) and use him more like a possession WR and I think some team could have a great weapon.

This is the five I would target without going into major analysis of what we currently have and in-depth of what is out there.

DE Demarcus Lawrence
DT Sheldon Richardson
CB Malcolm Butler (only if he lasts past the first rush of free agent signings)
WR Josh Gordon
CB Trumaine Johnson

The thing with depending on the draft to fill holes instead of free agency is, rookies are an unknown commodity. A veteran presence is known. A rookie may be good, but often takes time to develope and doesn't give immediate help for the current season.
That's what cost the Packers for the last several seasons. Depending on new guys to keep the defense afloat.

Packers should be targeting CB, OLB, TE and WR period... and maybe a RT and backup QB too. By that I mean they need to know all the guys on the market (especially their talent level and how they'd fit in the Packers scheme) and what they would be willing to offer for their services.

Most important player on that list of free agents is Morgan Burnett...

I'd love Josh Gordon but he is an exclusive rights free agent and according to what I could find his price tag would be under a million for the Browns and if they make that offer no one else could sign him.

Unless the Browns cut him he ain't going anywhere and after sticking with him through all this I don't see why they would do that.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : I keep on hearing pass rush, but it astounds me how much $$ we have invested and draft picks and still don't have one.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Hope we don't avoid someone like Christian Gonzalez which would have been a real gift last season.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : There always seems to be a high draft pick that slips and is there when we pick.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Vikings, per Mike Silver.

Zero2Cool (15h) : You're not gonna go for what your board says? Just straight up positions?

Martha Careful (16h) : my drafts would be OL DL and CB centric. Preferably from power 4 conferences who have started 2+ years

Mucky Tundra (15-Mar) : How much of that is guaranteed?

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : $45m over three years. Yikes.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Seahawks sign Cooper Kupp

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : Colts sign CB Corey Ballentine.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : At least give it some spins in your mocks. Not Martha, she's disqualified, lol

dfosterf (14-Mar) : quality dl in the 2nd and quality edge in the 3rd

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Taking Mathew Golden WR in the 1st is consistently working out for me in getting q

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : LB Eric Wilson to Vikings

Martha Careful (12-Mar) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : And pre june is $10m savings
