Screw backing up Rodgers. Seriously. Don't even waste a pick on that. Absolute last need.

OLB, CB, S, T, get BPA of those for our first pick.

STs need to be addressed too, but pass defense (including the pass rush) and OL are our primary concerns. I'd be very happy if we didn't draft a QB, WR, and RB this draft.

Man if a blue chip OLB fell to us, yeah, I'm on board, but I'm not sold that Brad Jones can't become the compliment to Matthews.

I've been saying Bigby licks ass for a couple year now, and I definitely want that position addressed. The problem is that nobody cuts young safeties so you have to draft your own. Scout well Ted.

I'd like us to get a project tall WR like Sidney Rice. I like both Jones and Jordy, but I think they are in the roles they're meant to play. Driver's replacement is not on our roster.

I don't think a backup QB is necessary, when you can just grab one of the many old men backups in the league. If Rodgers goes down, we are FUBAR anyway. Carrying 3 quarterbacks is an absolute waiste when you have a youngblood like we have.

As for the Dline, apparently the draft is deep this year. I think Raji should be groomed for Cullen's position, and we should find another NT late in the draft. We should really have 5 or six wide bodies on the active roster going forward anyway. I always thought Raji's best position would be what Warren Sapp played in the Tampa 2. I think he his skill set translates better to DE in a 3-4 than a NT.

As for a return guy, I like the looks of the McCluster kid who could return punts, kicks, and add a third down threat out the backfield or the slot.

I agree with Dakota T on McCluster. He gives you a double whammy on ST's and a dimension out of the backfield. They were already good on 3rd down conversions but with him, Finley, Driver, Jennings, Jones/Nelson it would be very hard to stop.

I know we need a good Safety but I think the pass rush has to get better first. I don't care how smart or fast a DB is, if the rush is not there they will get beat. On the other hand average DB's look great when the QB's always running for their life. Our guys looked fine when this happened. I believe they looked like anybody else would in those games we didn't get to the Qb.

I would not pass on a top flight Safety like Thomas, however, because the OLB position is risky in the 3-4 when you don't have a lot of tape. They saw something in Mathews and if they see that again in a player than go for it but it's still taking a chance.

A player I hope comes on this year is Lee. He is a good football player and better suited for this D than the one we were playing when he was drafted. We sucked wind at CB depth last year but when three guys go down that's what happens.

QB, WR, TE, MLB, & DT are definitely at the bottom of our list of needs.

RB & 3-4 DE are probably in the middle.

OT, 3-4 OLB, CB, SS, P, & K should be our biggest priorities in the draft.

He just had another stellar year; whats he got 3-4 years left in him? ... Lets improve our team and then worry about another WR - meanwhile we still have jones or nelson whom IMO could be a 2nd especially with finley as a threat.

ie I like jones more

I would not mid taking Gerhart if he is on the board in the 3rd round, but it is looking more and more likely that he will be gone in the 2nd.

Jones and Jordy aren't exactly chopped liver. Both of them can be fine #2 WRs. That's not just my green and gold lenses. I'm very critical of certain aspects of our team. However, the stats will prove me right when the time comes.
