Inside this quote, the most interesting part to me is the need, don't need. We have Aaron Rodgers, we don't need no damn WR! We could field Alan out there and he'd get 100 catches and 12 TD's! He's sneaky fast!


14. GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-9)

LAST SEASON: Missed playoffs for first time since 2008 after quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed two months with broken collarbone. His absence exposed how much team's limitations could be covered up by two-time NFL MVP. Davante Adams eclipsed Jordy Nelson as team's top receiver, but signing of tight end Martellus Bennett turned bad and he was cut at midseason. Injuries ravaged cornerback position for second straight year, while LB Clay Matthews and edge rush couldn't generate consistent pressure. Second-year players Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry joined Mike Daniels as bright spots on defensive line, and Blake Martinez turned into tackling machine at inside linebacker. But subpar season overall led coach Mike McCarthy to overhaul staff.

THEY NEED: OLB, CB, WR, S, RG, RT, TE

THEY DON'T NEED: QB, LT, DL, RB

POSSIBLE FIRST PICK:
[list]

  • DE Marcus Davenport, UTSA;
  • DE-LB Harold Landry, Boston College;
  • CB Denzel Ward, Ohio State;
  • CB Mike Hughes, UCF;
  • CB Josh Jackson, Iowa;
  • S Minkah Fitpatrick, Alabama;
  • S Derwin James, Florida State.[/list]

  • OUTLOOK: Longtime personnel executive Brian Gutekunst enters first draft as general manager. Packers don't often pick this high in first round, so Gutekunst has opportunity to take immediate contributor on defense led by new coordinator Mike Pettine that needs more playmakers. Pass rush could use infusion with Matthews turning 31 this year. Safeties Fitzpatrick and James could provide versatility, especially following departures of Micah Hyde and Morgan Burnett in free agency over last two years.

    We’re not desperate at any position. We have the minimum needed pretty much everywhere. But we can get better. Gives us alot of freedom, if someone drops to us. And I believe several will.

    Yes, I AM “sneaky fast” ( or as my wife would say, “sneaky, and halfast!”)
    The Packers did give me a call, and asked if I could fill in in Jordy Nelson’s place. But I told them I’m too busy, and I have WAY too much money.
    (Yeah.....THAT’S the ticket!!!)😂

    I find this a bit ironic.

    POSSIBLE FIRST PICK:
    DE Marcus Davenport, UTSA;
    DE-LB Harold Landry, Boston College;



    All things being equal why not list the 5 DB players ahead of the 2 DL that they don't need? Or at least have the linemen in the middle of the list. After all, Landry is rated as a 2nd round pick by many.

Everyone like Jared Abbredaris, Jake Allen, Geronimo Allison, Jarret Boykin, Michael Clark, Trevor Davis, Kevin Dorsey, Biren Ealy, Chris Harper, Jeff Janis, Ruvell Martin, Ty Montgomery, Jeremy Ross, Brett Swain, Miles White. Rodgers sure turned these guys into 100 catch 12 TD guys.

    Even if you take off Allison , Davis and Clark thinking they still might develop I'd bet anything that if we don't get anyone to help at least 2 of the 3 will remain on this list. Even if you take off Montogomery because he is contributing at RB he still wasn't made into such an indispensable receiver by Aaron Rodgers that Mike McCarthy couldn't make the switch.

    Yes we have had some good ones Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jordy Nelson but we only have 2 of those right now and 1 is questionable beyond this season.

    WR may not be our biggest need but it is a need. Especially if you want to look beyond this season. How many times do we hear that WRs in GB don't amount to a hill of beans if Aaron Rodgers doesn't trust them because he won't throw to them. None of the good ones were later than a 3rd round pick. You don't get to be a third round pick or higher if you don't have some talent. Do you really think you can grab anyone (sorry Alan, I'm sure you would be an exception) and he will gain ARs trust. I don't think so.

    Allison has to beat out Yancey, and I like Yancey better right now. We shall see.

    Davante is one cheap shot to the skull away from retirement. And we all know that teams are taking their shots at him, with no consequences from Mike.

    A late project I like is Jake Wieneke as I see him being a redzone type of threat as he is quite tall.
