I agree with you, but even considering the added value of the position to the Packers, does it make sense for the Packers to draft Jones at #27? I'm all for taking an ILB in the first round, provided that the player is worthy of the pick. Out of curiosity, how would you feel if the Packers took...

I'm referring to value in the draft. First you need pass rushers, then corners. With a decent defensive lines which clogs up the gaps, you don't need anything more than a decent player at ILB. We had depth at OLB but none at ILB, hence Matthews' move. If we had two average ILBs on the team you...

I've never said pro days aren't useful. They're an opportunity for coaches to work players out and throw some curveballs at them since the prospects already know what's coming at the combine. However they're not very useful for testing numbers, since we already have those for a large number of...

3M/yr?!? I've stayed away from criticising TT after overpaying for Crosby, but this deal makes no sense whatsoever. I really hope we draft a solid RB prospect this year and Starks is gone in 2017. No way a backup RB should have a 3M+ cap hit, especially when Lacy likely will be resigned for more...

You're comparing Jones' time from his pro day to Lee's times from the combine, which are laser timed and 100% accurate. Pro day times are notoriously faster than those of the combine, so you're not comparing apples to apples. Darron Lee ran faster than Jones when they were on the same field...

He hasn't shown better wheels. Darron Lee ran 4.47 at the combine, Jones ran 4.59 at the combine Say what you will about his pro day, they ran on the same track and Lee was much faster. You want to draft an undersized linebacker who's a liability in coverage in the first round? Thank goodness...

haha welcome on board! definitely an upgrade, especially with Tannenbaum at the helm...

Whatcha doing on a Packers forum?!? :p

According to this NFL.com article (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000643671/article/nfl-awards-33-compensatory-picks-to-13-teams-for-2016-draft): "Beginning in 2017, clubs will be permitted to trade compensatory picks." Should be correct since it comes directly from the NFL's media outlet.

June 1st I believe

Packers have been awarded two 4th round picks, #131 and #137

I won't complain about Ted, the teams' winning percentage since he took over is probably top 5 in the league. At the same time, it's disappointing to see quality FAs being signed for reasonable deals and us not being in the conversation. Ladarius Green at 5M/yr and Danny Trevathan at 6M/yr...

We're on the same page for Green, I really hope we make a hard push for him, especially looking at the lack of athletic TEs in the draft that can come in and have an immediate impact. I think it'll take a significant contract to grab Trevathan though. He's by far the best ILB in FA and there's...

Because any defensive lineman we draft will have NFL experience? You can count on a rookie just as much as you can count on any of those three guys...all that aside I hope the Packers grab a few lineman in the draft, it sounds like it's the deepest position this year with plenty of impact...

Probably going to need an impressive camp and preseason to stick around now...
