I really wish we could get Kyle Wilson from Boise...that would be a great 1st round pick. However, I think we would have to trade up to get him, and Ted Thompson isn't know for doing that.

Maybe we could get Jerry Hughes...that would be a good pick up. We may even be able to trade back a couple of spots and still get him while picking up an extra pick later in the draft.

Brian Bulaga will be a future starting LT in this league. Hopefully we will get lucky enough for him to fall to us.

Any of these three players would be great picks for us, and I think if any of them are available when we pick, we should take him.

Who or what position do we need the most? Well, that will be up to Ted Thompson on draft day.

I found this interesting.

I have talked to 5 different teams and all of them said Haden won't go in top 10

Any chance Joe Haden falls to 23? - Yes



http://twitter.com/MoveTheSticks/status/10135891334 

It's not some random guy I'm taking this from. He used to be a scout for the Ravens and the Browns before he started his own site.

Now, this could be our Aaron Rodgers at CB. If he's there, he'd be an absolute steal. I don't care too much about his 40 time. His tape still shows a kid who can turn into an elite corner. And if he really is too slow, we could always try to plug him in at safety.

I know that CB isn't the sexy pick for the Packers, but this'd be a great pick for us.

Yes, Joe Haden would be a GREAT selection, but I highly doubt the he will be available. I would still take Kyle Wilson over him just because of his 40 time, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

All the 40 time is, is how good you are at track, pretty much. It means nothing on the football field.

Haden showed up in college, and if he was too slow then he wouldn't have been so good. It's not like NFL receivers are a LOT more faster than college ones. There are MANY fast college receivers.

People will regret not taking Haden. To be fair, once you're out of the NFL, you're out of the loop. Teams use guys all the time to spread false information. The people doing the reporting don't know it, but that's the way the NFL works.

I would take Haden if he's there. I'd trade up for him if he falls out of the top 15. I think he's that good. Size, cover skills, tackling, and technique. It's all there, but the 40, which is a sign of poor recover speed. Something Al Harris never had by the way.

Right now, I think Jahvid Best, Charles Brown, Trent Williams and a trade up for Bryan Bulaga if he falls are the three best possibilities.

Unfortunately the Pack have difficulties addressing their needs via Free Agency so I am hoping we can address our O-line situation via the draft and take the best Tackle with our first pick. If the value is just too low I hope we go Safety or find a player to help improve our pass rush. I think we will go running back, but I just don't think Ted will use a 1st round pick for one when teams are showing the value that 2nd and 3rd round rated Backs are making.

TSN mock has us getting Bulaga, but I just can't see him dropping that far when more and more teams are looking for safe picks because of the high salaries these picks command.

Haden is listed at 5'10 3/4". That doesn't denote great size to me. If he really is that size it can be OK. If they are exagerating and he is really 5'9 1/2" I would stay away from him. I believe in TT's BPA drafting. I hope a good LT that plays for the next 12 years in GB is the BPA. Bulaga could fill that bill.

Regardless, I hope we get a good/Pro Bowl player that we don't have to worry about that position for 10-12 years or more. That is so valuable.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

The guy I would love in the 2nd round woutd be Jared Veldheer OT. Small school player that did very well at the combine plus he is huge. 6'8" and athletic.

I read that Haden is 5'11" on the NFL combine website. I don't know if that is official or he skiipped that part. Plus he will have a pro day to run his forty again. Haden was one of the top performers in the 60 yard shuttle also.

Mucky Tundra (40m) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋
Zero2Cool (1h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever
Zero2Cool (2h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.
Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (5h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (5h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (6h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (6h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (6h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (6h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (7h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (7h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (9h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (17h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (18h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
