THE 2016 PACKER DRAFT · PACKERSHOME

The 2015/16 Packer's season has come to an end. Another trip to the playoffs with no Trophy's or Ring's to show for it. Blame is very easy to pass out and has already seen some coaching changes.

The Draft will be the next best opportunity for the Packers to improve. IMO, the top priority should be as follows:

1] WR
2] OL
3] CB
4] Punter

In addition, Ted Thompson should not be afraid to trade latter round picks to go after a wanted player or to include in a package to trade for a proven player.

Always breaking even at the Poker table just screams a lack of guts to go for the kill. Ted Thompson has never had the Killer instinct, playing it safe is like Kissing your sister !

The order of importance is inside linebacker who can cover a running back or tight end so Clay goes back to his position, tight end with speed to shred a defense over the middle, back up offensive lineman who can actually play - which means the end of the Don Barclay experience in Green Bay. Tretter is a very good utility lineman and quite possible better at center than Lindsley.

And yes, we need a better punter, but not in the third round.

I think we need another OLB and help on the DL, too.

This draft should be about SPEED on offense and fortifying the OL. Can't wait to see what we actually get.

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."

Those are the glaring needs. RB is on the next tier of needs.

I posted this in another thread:

My priority would be (depending on FA signings)

MLB
TE
OT
OLB
OG
DL
WR

I would like to see another punter, but not sure if we need to draft one. DL moves up quite a bit depending on what we do at FA. Like how they managed to do pretty well against some of the top backs.

RB is really getting sold short here. A 30 something Starks and a fat underperforming Lacy...and nothing after that. I think that is right up there at the top of the list of needs we have.

Starks is a FA so we will see what happens with that. Starks is hitting 30, but still has speed. Gotta work on securing the ball. Crockett didn't look too bad. Still annoyed they let Rajion Neal go. I thought he had a good burst and nice hands for the screen game.

If there's one thing we don't need that is a WR: Jordy, Cobb, Montgomery, Adams, Abby, Janis

We badly, badly badly need a TE, Richard Rodgers is a joke in disguise and we have nothing behind him.

We also need good ILBs and OLBs playmakers, guys that can make things happen instead of watching each play.

1) TE
2) ILB/OLB
3) OLB/ILB
4) S
5) OL
6) DL
7) P

As bad as Cobb and Adams sucked at WR this past season, the return of Jordy Nelson for the 2016 Season will not give these two any more talent. Janis and Abby showed great promise , but getting a WR for the 1st round Draft pick or trading some picks as part of a package to get a proven WR could be the answer. Trade Adams or Cobb + a 6 or 7th round pick to move up in the Draft. There must be proven WR talent on teams ( like Cleveland, or Houston or San Diego) that would make a deal.

The problem is that Ted Thompson is too conservative and not willing to explore taking a risk.

IMO, the Packers top priority is to get a good/great WR, any way they can .
