At #9, I'd be completely fine with any of these guys who I've seen projected to be available when we pick:

Jackson (DE, LSU)
Raji
Orakpo
Maybin
Smith (Alabama OT)
Oher

That's basically the same list as me except that taking Jackson that high seems like a reach.

I would be happy with any of those players.

Add Peiria Jerry to the list for me.. a little high at 9.. but here is to hoping somehow he lands with the Packers.

Back to this post, I wouldn't mind Oher, but not at 9, we can trade back a few spots and get him. I still would rather have Big Andre manning RT next year next to Sitton at guard and let them plow the way.

I don't see Raji in our future even if he falls to us. I see him more as a DT in a 43. Now his partner Brace is a different story. I woulnd't mind seeing us trade up into the late 1st round just to make sure we get him.

This is pissing me off. Not the post, but the circumstances that are creating a scenario where we would have to make that kind of reach in order to get Brace. He should be a third round pick. He will not be, not because he is so outstanding a football player, but because there are so few (no other?) credible prototypical nose tackles available.

And that there is the one glaring drawback of playing a 3-4.. and with the popular "new" trend, those hog mollies are going to become ultra valuable.

The 3-4 might be more economic in terms of backers and pass rushers, but it is equally offset by the cost of those men in the trenches.. specifically those upon the nose.

Sorry to get off the Oher theme, but imo this is important.

In the words of the priest when I was paying attention as a lad, "Let us pray":

ONE PERFECTLY SIZED (now) Nose Tackle that NO ONE IN WISCONSIN knows about

Again, sorry.

More on that subject... another option that might be available a little later than Brace.. due to the level of competition he faced..

The Packers also had a private workout with nose tackle Vaughn Martin from Canada. He's one of the fastest rising prospects seemingly coming out of nowhere.

Daily Links..

More on Martin..

Oher at 9 however wouldn't bother me a single bit..

A good point of view for drafting a tackle:

I read that this morning, did you notice the copyright thing on the bottom of the page.

I think Green Bays draft needs in order of importance are:

OT
NT
DE
S -

A lot of posters and mock forum geniuses think we are taking the rush OLB, but I would be very surprised if that happens.

Color me as shocked as well if we make any of the Brown's, Maybin's, etc the pick in the 1st...

Been saying the same thing all off season.. either line would suit me better than a one dimensional pass rusher.

Yea, that's why I didn't post any of the article here.

I think OT is definitely my #1 choice too. Protecting our offense, which is our main strength, should be priority #1. Both tackles are not guarantees, which is troubling for a primarily passing team.

Zero2Cool (13h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (13h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (14h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (15h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (16h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (16h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (18h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (19h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (19h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (19h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (19h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (19h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (19h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (21h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (23h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (23h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (23h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (23h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
