I'm sure there are a lot of unemployed players out there that would love to play for the Packers. Lots of employed players too. Who wouldn't want to play for such a great organization, led by Ted Thompson!

Too short. Too old. Too slow.

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."

I was thinking maybe as a fill in coach, after all he did play with some of the best defenses in Baltimore and New York. He could teach our young guys some stuff about the 3-4 defense. It would have to be cheap though

I've never been a huge Jim Leonard fan but he's a vet that's carved out a decent career for himself despite some physical limitations. Not a bad type to have on your bench but I don't see him getting playing time over Hyde or Haha so it's almost not really worth the bother. If Richardson keeps showing promise in pre-season like he did in OTAs I would rather go with him. I'm not for the move but if it happens it won't really bother me, I see the benefit and he was certainly better than anything we put out there last year.

Seems he is always looking ahead and trying to cover any circumstance that could develope.

I put Leaonard in the group with Pickett, and Jolly(if cleared), veteran guys who, in a pinch, could come in in an emergency and at worst be a stop gap.

No harm in Ted making contact with Leonard and letting him know there's interest if there is a need.

I think the Packers have enough former Badgers. This guy has bounced around the last several years for a reason.

I really want to play for the Packers too, but I kind of lack the atheltism and talent to be considered. Who wants to write an article about my desire???

dfosterf (52m) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (1h) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (4h) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (5h) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (10h) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (17h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (17h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (18h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (21h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : I am very happy that for moment, Jordan Love seems like a normal human being

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Belichick * whatever

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : "There's a lot of depth at Offensive Tackle and Wide Receiver." Bill Bellichick

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Thanks! I can't believe it's over haha

Martha Careful (16-Apr) : Congratulations

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Boom. Student Loan. $0.00. Only took about 20 years.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : Packers DT Kenny Clark: New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will 'allow us to be way more disruptive'

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

beast (12-Apr) : No, but of it's for legislation, then half of the country will find it evil, not good, whatever it says....

Mucky Tundra (12-Apr) : Draft is still 2 weeks away. UGH

dhazer (11-Apr) : Does anyone know of a good AI generator to create letters of Support for legislation?
