[QUOTE="Big E, post: 322128, member: 3533"] I definitely agree on the Crosby part. I'm not really sure where he's projected to go, but I would love it if the Packers drafted Alex Henery from Nebraska in the late rounds. He's the most accurate kicker in NCAA history, I believe, and he's got a strong leg. Two years ago he made a clutch 57 yard field goal to tie a game late against Colorado. In the Big 12 Championship this year, he hit a 53-yarder that legitimately cleared the top of the field goal posts. That's 70-yard range. Kirk Herbstreit called him the best kicker that he's ever seen. Plus, he's one of the nation's top punters, too. He could potentially free up a roster spot, although Masthay hasn't been too bad this year. I would like to see us go offensive line sometime early in the draft. Colledge is okay, but I don't think he has the size to be a good inside run blocker. Mike Pouncey would be a great pick if he's available. We also need someone to replace Clifton whenever he retires (or someone to replace Bulaga and switch Bulaga back to the left side). Solder, Carimi, and Castonzo would all be solid picks in the first round. I would also be really happy with Von Miller in the first round if he fell to us. We could use a really good pass rusher opposite CM3. That would make the defense crazy good. I really hope we don't go with a WR in the first round like I've heard some people in other forums say, even if Justin Blackmon is available at our pick. I agree that we could use some help in that area, especially if Jones doesn't return, but I think there are a ton of really good receivers coming out this year.

I would rather not get Broyles because of his size, but because of the depth at the position Floyd or Baldwin might drop to the Packers in the second round. Terrance Tolliver is also a possibility for later rounds. He's fast, tall, and a good returner.

Even though TT probably won't do it, I would like RB to be addressed in free agency.

He's a big back who has been productive when he's gotten the chance in Oakland. If we did turn to the draft, DeMarco Murray would be a good 2nd rounder and Kendall Hunter would be good in the middle rounds.
