[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 196500, member: 195"] [b]Predicting the '08 draft[/b] Thanks for the good thread, zombie. I mostly agree with your original assessment. The best case scenario would be for a good CB or TE to fall to the Packers in the first round. Beyond that, I'm thinking LB, G, or DE. LB because we have no depth there and Poppinga is suspect. G because we have a bunch of guys who have been here for two years and none of them stand out. This is a position where players often take a few years to develop (remember Wahle and Rivera), so there is hope that our current guys can improve, but Thompson might want to hedge his bets. DE because KGB is getting older, and once he loses a bit of his quickness, he will be done. Meanwhile, Montgomery has not impressed me at all. And you can never have too many pass rushers. Thompson's approach of favoring quality over need continues to make sense with this team because, for one thing, it's worked so far, but also, I think TE is the only position that is really in dire need of a good player immediately. We should learn more about the Packers' draft needs from the playoffs, as that is where weaknesses really get exploited. [/QUOTE]
