Well, the ESPN rumor only adds some credence to the rumor I got that said "this wouldn't be a typical Ted Thompson draft".

But I suspect at least 2 more rumors that are smoke screens involving the Packers.

I would be surprised to see Ted Thompson move up in a deep draft like this.

IF he makes any 1st round move at all I would say it's 75/25 he would move back and take advantage of the wealth of talent in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Of course, now having said that, he will probably move up.

I think inquiring about what some teams might take for their pick is no more than doing your due diligence. Before there can be any consideration to go in that direction you have to know the cost.

I know for sure a move to 9-10-11 is going to cost A LOT in terms of picks so I can't see it. Not when there is round 1 talent seeping over into round 2.

For a team that builds thru the draft this year is a home run and reducing picks just doesn't fit here IMO.

I will take the under on him not moving up unless Berry, Okung or Bulaga start sliding.

It would basically kill our draft... I will pass.



The Big Question: Packers moving up? 

Packers general manager Ted Thompson traded into the bottom of the first round last year to select USC linebacker Clay Matthews, one of the NFL's top defensive rookies in 2009. Will Thompson make a similar attempt this year?

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers have investigated the possibility of moving up from their current spot at No. 23 overall to the Nos. 10-12 range. You would assume the intent would be to draft one of the top four left tackles. Each player -- Oklahoma State's Russell Okung, Oklahoma's Trent Williams, Iowa's Bryan Bulaga and Rutgers' Anthony Davis -- is likely to be off the board well before No. 23 overall. That leaves the Packers in a much-discussed no-man's land when it comes to filling arguably their biggest need.

The cost would be considerable, however, and illustrates why such trades are far more discussed than actually executed.

We have acknowledged that the traditional draft value chart has its flaws, but let's use it as a guideline for this discussion. The chart assigns a point total to each pick. The No. 23 pick is worth 760 points. For argument's sake, let's consider the No. 11 pick. It's worth 1,250 points. That means the Packers would have to make up 490 points to make the deal work.

One way to do that: Giving up their second-round pick (No. 56 overall) and third-rounder (No. 86). Those picks add up to 500 points.

Would you give up your second- and third-round picks to move up 12 spots? First, it's possible the Packers could negotiate that price down. Second, remember that a true left tackle is one of the rarest of species. If you think you can get one, you might have to accept a premium price.

I still don't know if I see Thompson pulling the trigger on a deal that carries such a price tag, but it's certainly a big question with two days remaining until the first round begins.
