What's your guess for the first player the Packers pick.

Flat out guess Ted Thompson trades down and takes Eric Rowe.

History is completely against a kid from Utah being drafted by the Packers so Kendricks would be my 2nd choice. Ted Thompson only drafts from a few conferences in the 1st round.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

You could arguably say that Harrell was a reach, but all of his other picks were pretty much in line with their talent level.

For the record, I'm saying Kendricks. It's a safe pick and one I don't even like that much, but also one I don't see us passing on when he drops to 30. Maybe we'll even trade up, after the way Shazier got taken before we ever got on the board last year.

These are my entries for Micheal Rodney's draft contest:

1: Kendricks. Ted continues his predictable and extremely unexciting pattern of drafting a low-risk, vanilla "sure thing" type player. Filling a need on D.

2: Micheal Bennett. Ted breaks his pattern of drafting exclusively "tweeners" and nabs this prototypical 3-4 DE.

Goldman, Brown or Phillips. Ted Thompson goes for a BIG DL in looking to replace Raji and Guion next year.

#1 Goldman- but I don't think he will be available
#2 Brown- Likely
#3 Phillips- Less likely

I usually have a good feeling with my guess by now but not so much this year.

1. Eddie Goldman
2. D. Perryman

We haven't been able to stop the run for years and these two would go a long ways in turning that around. It would be nice for a change to not have to look all the way towards the bottom of the list to find our name on the run D stats. Don always talks about the top priority is stopping the run...well you need the players that can do that so...

This is going to be a wild night starting at Pick 2. I actually don't have a clue what's going to happen by #30.

Good luck Ted. Work it.

Kendricks is the easy one. He kind of fits the mold of guys like Bulaga and HHCD who seem like a perfect fit before the draft and might not make it to our pick but eventually do.

I've been thinking it's going to be a CB for a while so I'll stick with that and choose Byron Jones.

If not a CB then I think it'll be a pass rusher (edge player in this case) so I'll also go with Owa Odighizuwa, I'm not buying the hype that Gregory and Ray are going to make it to 30.

I would like to see Landon Collins be our first pick. A big safety to fill the MLB position on passing downs.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I have to admit that one of the guys I like the most as a draftnick, Daniel Jeremiah, didn't have him in the first.

He was easily within ten picks on most people's boards, within five on a lot.

A guy like Tyson Alualu... Now that was a reach.

Martha Careful (21h) : 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 (23h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

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) : 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."

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.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

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 (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

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

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
