Here are the most recent picks from ESPN.

Mel Kiper

32. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi St.
Green Bay could also go with an outside linebacker here to take some pressure off Clay Matthews Jr., but I've waffled on this pick and tend to think that if they believe they can get a player they can develop into the long range answer on the blindside, it'd be really hard to pass up. Sherrod has been a consistent player, and could be the answer to replace Chad Clifton. When you have a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, you're going to win a lot of games. Priority No. 1 has to be to keep him upright.

64. Tandon Doss WR Indiana

96. Cortez Allen CB The Citadel

Todd McShay

32. Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
The defending Super Bowl champions have a very good nose tackle in B.J. Raji but injuries, free agency and off-field issues have created all kinds of questions at defensive end. If Heyward checks out medically he would be a steal here with his strength, motor and versatility

64. William Rackley G Lehigh

96. Christopher Carter OLB Fresno State

Kind of funny - seems like people are all over the place in what picks we need; like last year - most peeps though wed grab a corner or a OLB ... and we grabbed neither ...

This year the top picks seem to be OT, DE and OLB again ...
personally I dont think we need a OLB unless a good one falls into our lap. Be interesting to see what we really get.

I think either of the two #1's are better players then what I see that's left in most mocks so I would be fine with either pick. Sherrod would not equal the gift we got when Bulaga dropped last year but it would be sweet. Could happen if a couple more teams jump in at QB. I am seeing Mallet's name in the first round more than he was a month ago.

I like both players they have at the #64 spot and would be glad if Ted picked either of them. Doss is a good player that happened to play on a lousy team and they say Rackley is a tough, mean dude, that can play any interior OL position.

I'll just say if we go into round 3 with two of these guys nailed down I will be very happy.

Sherrod would be a gift. I'd take either Solder or Carimi too if they fall, but both look a little light in the ass for my taste. OT's need to be 320 and piss fire in this league anymore.

I read over on TimesFour today that Neal is beastly and is chomping at the bit to get on with the season. I don't think DE is as big a priority as the pundits seem to think. That said, I'd love to Watt from Wisconsin and have the base defense of Watt Raji and Neal; so maybe we should trade up Millertime.

Last year no question we needed an LT. Year before that, Raji was without question the right pick.

I'm not real big on the taking a DE with the 1st thing. I think mock draft people are overreacting a bit to Cullen Jenkins leaving. No doubt he is a loss but they were fine without him for 5-6 games last season. The lineup is still pretty strong with Raji, Pickett, Green, Neal, Wilson. For a team that plays 2 lineman 70% of the time those guys alone should be able to get the job done.

A DE even if he is taken with your 1st round pick is probably not going to log too many snaps unless he is exceptional and if you are just drafting a guy for the future I don't think a 1st rounder is necessary.

I agree 100%. But there are a TON of great 3-4 DEs available this year. If a great one were to drop to us, I would not mind it. With each year, I'm beginning to believe more and more that the game is won with a good QB and good players in the trenches. But I think Neal is definitely starting material, and I do believe he was picked to replace Cullen Jenkins.

Draft defense Ted- lights out. Blitz all night, I loved watching Cutler tuck the ball down like a little bitch.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
