As the NCAA Basketball Tournament is being played out across the land, I wanted to do something Packers-related with a "March Madness' theme. So here's the idea: We're going to pick the 16 BEST players on the Packers roster. And by we, I mean me and YOU – the readers. To make it simpler, I'll pick the [...]

I'm still waiting for your picks/example hahaha. You know, this isn't easy - 3 through 16 anyway isn't easy. It would help if you mentioned whether you want choices based on last year's performance OR several years/career performance OR projected value for next season and beyond. It makes a huge difference when considering people like Bishop, Sherrod, Harris, T. Williams, etc.

It also would be nice to do this for all-time Packer greats.

13.J. Jones,
14.J.Bush
15.Bishop
16.A.J. Hawk Aaron Rodgers of course is #1, I then decided the guys protecting him would have to be 2-6, then I went with Veteran players on both side of ball and added Bush as S.T leader.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

1. Rodgers
2. Matthews
3. Cobb
4. Nelson
5. T. Williams - when he returns to pre-injury form
6. Sitton
7. Bulaga
8. Finley
9. Bishop
10. Hawk
11. Shields
12. James Jones
13. Dejuan Harris (Benson, Starks, and Green could be placed here if they could stay healthy)
14. Lang
15. Burnett
16. Casey Hayward/Davon House/Nick Perry - I expect big things from all three.

We have mediocrity at Left Tackle and Center which does not bode well for a successful playoff team - these two areas need to be addressed. Hopefully Sherrod can become a player - nasty injury he has to overcome, but Flanagan did it - maybe Sherrod can to.

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) : 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) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

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

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.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

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!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
