I love Jason Brown, and I think he would improve our interior line. Ideally, I'd still love for Colledge to be our LT, even if it's unlikely.

I'll say.. Igor.

Igor has questionable work ethic, not a chance TT signs him.

Just like he wouldn't spend a draft pick on someone with questionable work ethic(Wynn)?

Wynn was a 7th round selection, very little risk and a high reward choice. Igor will be a much higher financial obligation and for a guy, TT, who doesn't throw money around, I don't see him throwing money at a guy who may not work up to that paycheck.

I realize that, and I agree Igor isn't likely, but I need to make some bold prediction in case it turns out and I look like a genius.

One player I see TT bringing in is safety Michael Boulware. Someone he drafted, started with a promising career, but has been a roller coaster ride since.

[TitleTown088]

Ruvell Martin, safety Jarrett Bush, fullback John Kuhn and outside linebacker Jason Hunter tendered.

Fellas,

Representing the Pack in the Group Mock. The draft so far:

1 Detroit - Matthew Stafford, QB Georgia
2 St Louis - Jason Smith, OT Baylor
3 Kansas City - Aaron Curry, LB Wake Forrest
4 Seattle - Michael Crabtree, WR Texas Tech
5 Cleveland - Everette Brown, DE/OLB Florida State
6. Cincinnatti Bengals - Eugene Monroe OT - Virginia
7. Oakland Raiders - BJ Raji DT - BC


Any thoughts considering the above on where we go at 9?

A trade down if you can or Jenkins and the man below in the 2nd :)

Have the word out on a trade down but was already rebuffed by Philly.

Was leaning toward Jenkins but was also wondering as to Andre Smith. Yes, there are certainly question marks but he certainly has the potential to be a star tackle for years to come.

[Wallzy]

Probably grab Orakpo or Maybin, but would be ok w/ Oher.

Don't really know how this draft works but...trade down w/ the Saints (for their 1st and 2nd) in the hopes that Orakpo/Maybin/Oher drops, if they get taken then I might be on board w/ andre smith as a RT prospect...if jenkins, oher, orakpo, maybin, and smith go (more than plausible in that order), then you'd look at Tyson Jackson, Cushing, or Britton.

well is it suppose to be realistic or just a fantasy thing? but Jenkins>Smith.

[PACKmanN]

Bigby has received a 2nd round tender
Kuhn and Bush received the 1.01 million tender

end Jason Hunter, tight end Tory Humphrey and receiver Ruvell Martin are remaining. Bodiford will not be tendered and Tory might not as well.

Say goodbye To Ruvell.

[Smokey]

Worked out a trade down in the group mock. Was hoping to get in the 15 -20 range and pick up another second but here's the best I could do:

Green Bay trades Round 1 (9) & Round 7 (201) to Denver for Round 1 (12) Round 4 (110) & Round 6 (172)

[PACKmanN]

nice, what was that Denver fan thinking, there no value for them at 8 unless he takes Orakpo. Now you can take Jenkins/English/Cushing or even trade back even more.

[Smokey]

Jenkins has been taken & Denver took Orakpo. Tampa is looking to trade 19 so I might be able to trade back from 12 and pick up his 2nd.

[PACKmanN]

do it, there are so much options at OLB.

[Smokey]

Waiting for him to pull the trigger. I'm hoping Tyson Jackson will be there at 19.

[Smokey]

Further update and have yet to make a pick.


Green Bay trades 12 & 172 to Tampa Bay for 19 & 50.



So we've got 19, two 2nds, two 3rds, and two 4ths to help flush out this 3-4.

Might trade back into the late first with some of this ammo if someone appealing falls.

I want to say goodbye to Bush 2 years to late. Ruvell your right is probably gone which sucks!

Why continue to trade back? I know it's fun to have the picks in the world during a mock, but in reality you want quality over quantity and on a roster like Green Bay's, where there's already plenty of quantity, it would be more wise to focus on adding qaulity players.

This is as far back as I'm going. I think the OLBs (English Johnson, Barwin, matthews))available in round 2 aren't that far behind those in round 1. And we can pick up an OT in round 2 as well that can develop for a year (Kropog, Loadholt).

If we can get a DE, OLB, & OT in the first two rounds I can use the next 4 (2 in 3, 2 in 4), on a developmental CB, TE, NT, maybe a RB. Beyond that maybe the best available punter and then BPA.

I'm hoping Jackson will be there at 19 but if not then perhaps I'll go early on the OLB (Cushing) or the OT (Britton or Beatty). An oversized DE or undersized DT can then be grabbed in round 2 for the end opposite Jenkins.

[Yatta!]

I wish Jarrett Bush would **** off. Martin is a gazillion times better than him.
