Jaylon Smith is still my fallback guy. If all my guys are taken, no one will give us value for a trade back, I don’t hesitate to pull the trigger on Smith despite the recent medical news that he is expected to miss the 2016 season. Otherwise, look for him in the third.

Of the guys who are likely to be around at #27,I like Darron Lee, Kevin Dodd, Andrew Billings, Austin Johnson, Austin Hooper.

Darron Lee: This guy could easily go higher, but if he’s there take him. We need a bookend.

Kevin Dodd: Another book end type dude. Could go higher, has versatility as 4/3 DE.

Andrew Billings: This guy can stuff the run in short yardage. SO sick of teams knowing they can get short yardage on us.

Austin Johnson: Another NT who could make our ILBs look much better.

Austin Hooper: Can’t ever have enough of these pass catching TEs. Apparently. I also wouldn’t mind Hunter Henry or Jerell Adams.

But generally, any of the guys who are highlighted on my draft board.

I cherish Jaylon Smith's potential even with the injury. Beast. I would take him in a heart beat at 27.

Nerdmann, don't forget to take your meds !

What I want or you want will be moot in a few days. I recommend patience and then post your thoughts after something actually occurs .

Good stuff, keep it coming. I can't really claim to want the Packers to select any one because I really didn't watch much college ball this past season. The one player I have liked what I have heard is Myles Jack although I believe he's projected be at worst top 10.

Jack is a tougher situation because teams view his injury differently. He tore the anterior meniscus in his right knee last September, ending his 2015 season and putting him on the shelf for most of the draft process. Jack is moving well right now, but it's the long-term that several teams are worried about.

Although he is moving well right now, there are different levels of meniscus tears and some around the league are worried about the long-term health of Jack's knee. He won't be on every draft board, but there will be some teams who are OK with how his knee has responded -- the question is what is his value.

Is there a team confident enough in the knee to take him top-10 like his talent suggests?

I am worried about Jaylon though. Hearing about nerve damage and wondering if he can ever recapture his speed makes me nervous about selecting him. I really think we need to hit on 2 or 3 starters this draft. That is hard if a top pick is committed to a guy who may never be back to form.

A little nervous about saying I'd like Darron Lee because he's obviously got questionable decision making with his school of choice. Anyhow, I would be down with any one of these three fellas.

Darron Lee OLB Ohio State
Reggie Ragland ILB Alabama
Laquon Treadwell WR Ole Miss

I remove Jaylon Smith because he's suffering from nerve damage. That's not good for someone who is going to make their money on their wheels.

I'm not really a big fan of most of the "probable" 1st round options this year. I'm hoping for a surprise like last year.

#10

Given that I think the one player on Nerd's list here that are first round value (Billings) is going to be long gone by #27, I'm hoping that there's a trade partner, which may be wishful thinking on my part.

I think the best shot at a trade will come because someone needs to get a quarterback sooner rather than later and didn't want to spend what it took to get Wentz/Goff higher in the first but is willing to reach for Lynch, Cook, or Hackenberg. Yes, I mean you, Jerry Jones and John Elway. 🙂

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Zero2Cool (6h) : 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.

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

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

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) : 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.
