On the Sidelines

It is frustrating for Packer fans to see other trades
happen and not a Randy Moss to the Packers trade, but
remember this, the other players contracts pail in
comparison to Moss' and the other teams were NOT
dealing with the Raiders and Al Davis.
There are 4 players the Packers would
trade up for and they are Calvin Johnson, Adrian
Peterson, LaRon Landry and Amobi Okoye. A trade up is
DEFINITELY an option the Packers are exploring.
Ted Thompson wants to add a difference maker on
the offensive side of the ball this draft and feels
Johnson and Peterson are WELL WORTH the gamble of
trading up for. He has always said that there are
certain players that you have to "break the norm" for.
To add on to Thompson and his infatuation with Calvin
Johnson, I was told that he either had a dinner with
Johnson, his family and representatives the night
before or the night of his pro day work out.
Here are some player that Packer fans should keep a
close eye on draft day AFTER round 1....Craig "Buster"
Davis, Michael Bush, Chris Henry, Antonio Pittman,
Dwayne Wright, Tavarous Bain, Fred Bennett, Justin
Durant, Jason Hill, Damion Hughes, Josh Wilson,
Trent Edwards, Drew Stanton, Ben Patrick, Martrez
Milner, Josh Gattis and Melvin Bullitt.
I was told that IF USC WR Dwayne Jarrett runs a 4.6 or
lower, he would go no higher then #32 (to San Diego)
and a 2nd round slip to the Packers is a real
possibility.
Josh Swogger is thought highly of with the staff and
scouts and is an option in the later part of the
draft. If Troy Smith was to be available in the 4th
round, then he to is an option I was told. This is NOT
to knock Aaron Rodgers, but it is to put pressure on
Ingle Martin.
The Packers will wait a month or so to see how LaVarr
Arrington is feeling (rehabbing) and may have some
interest in the former All Pro LB.
The Packers may have some interest in Sammy Knight,
the former Chief and Saint who was released yesterday.
Also, Mike Doss' name was brought up to me in passing.
Some Packers that may be dealt on or near draft day
include KGB, Chad Clifton, Robert Ferguson and Bubba
Franks.
The Packers have talked to the Chargers about RB
Michael Turner, and may try to make an offer to trade
for him.
