Too early to talk draft?

[PackisBack]

I don't know how to embed a video but here is a link for Martez Wilson vs Ohio St. It really isn't a highlight video just a video of about all the plays you can see Wilson.

I honestly liked that video more than the highlight reel of him. Every play I saw, regardless of whether it was positive for Ohio State or not, Wilson was filling his gap or covering his area, and man can he chase down a QB! I must not watch enough Illinois because I've heard virtually nothing about him, and the pundits (especially Mayock, who I hate) haven't said anything about him. He definitely looks like a TT type pick if he slips into later rounds.

Green Bay Packers: 10 Prospects Super Bowl Champs Will Target in 2011 NFL Draft | Bleacher Report


This is a pretty good article. Lots of Oline.

I guess it's not too early to talk draft after all haha! They beat me to it, and they actually have selections too. Unfortunately a lot of those guys will go earlier than our pick, since we pick last and all (probably won't ever get tired of that). Also Cameron Heyward looks more like a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 DE. Just look and him and then compare to Pickett and Green (they both have 40 pounds on him)

I would just like for them to draft Casey. The Matthews brothers would be awesome.

Mathews is projected to be a 3rd rounder or so, would be cool to have them both on the team

If we draft a receiver or a DB, hopefully it's one with some return ability. Getting field position is the difference in winning and losing ball games.

 

[Rodgers in the House]

Yeah if anything we need to work on our special teams.

I think that's the part of me that wants Torrey Smith or Titus Young as both of them can be electric in the return game. If I remember right Smith broke all of Hester's ACC return records.

 

[ThorMatthews]

I want a Punt Returner.

I want a Punt Returner.

PR/KR* we need both haha. Also, you might have the greatest name on the forum.

Left OG is a must (Pouncy would be golden), don't think we need another tackle I think lang (right side) and bulaga (back to left) can do just fine once clifton retires. If a top notch OLB is avalible in the 1st take the OLB then OG in the second and ILB in 3rd. Our OLB not named Matthews are pretty good no need to waist a pick on one unless we can get a top notch guy. If no OLB are there then 1st go OG second ILB. After that I'll trust to TT would like a good punt returner though, don't care what position.
I think people are freaking out about the secondary, we lost 2 of our top 3 guys you are never going to be good in the secondary after something like that. Draft one in a later round (who can punt return) for depth but thats it. The bigger problem in my mind was the lack of ability to get to Ben in the first 3 quarters. Once we got to him our defense seemed to perform better. That's why I want another OLB to go with Matthews. Also I hope TT can work a deal out with JJ for a very good deal I still have faith in him.

Ya i'd like that very much. One option would be drafting a WR/KR and/or PR in the first round and then get rid of James Jones. Although I doubt this will happen, and I would like to keep JJ for at least one more year.

I think we need an OLB who can go opposite of Clay and rush effectively. Ohhhhh...Gives me chills thinking of how dominating we could be on defense if that happens,

Monsters of the Titletown. :chisux:

World champion Green Bay Packers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things that we really need in the draft/offseason in no particular order

Kick/Punt Return SPECIALIST, not a CB or a WR who can also return, a Player who's sole duty will be special teams, and returning kicks/punts.

Kicker I know mason crosby didn't blow the super bowl, but his kicking has been horrible and he has to go. We need someone who can kickoff normally without having to squibb kick 3-4 times a game, and is reliable inside 45yard line.

Offensive Line Depth Clifton is old, tauscher is probably done, colledge is not that great and wells is just adequate. I am so glad that our injuries in that game were in the secondary and not the O-line, I shutter to imagine what would have happend if one of our starting O-line guys went down. We need another starting tackle atleast to groom to protect rodgers in the future.

Defensive Back Hopefully Morgan Burnett will be back and healthy, but We need an insurance policy, Woodson isn't getting any younger. I'd like to see a Big Physical 6'0-6'2'' 200lbs+ guy who can play CB or Safety, someone who can play press coverage.

Defensive Line I like the future of Mike Neal and CJ Wilson, but pickett/jenkins are getting up there in years, and imo You can NEVER have enough big uglies the more the merrier, and if we want to have a great defense, this is where it starts.


if TT thinks he can find another Jordy Nelson or anoterh Greg Jennings, than he can draft one. But I dont like the idea of drafting the #1 athletic WR in the draft, those types of players are all Me Me Me and not about Team Team Team.

 

[Rodgers in the House]

I'm beginning to think we need more O line before anything else.

 

[JJP41]

You're not going to get Costonzo or Solder, both will be off the board before the Pack even get on the clock. So Carimi and Sherrod may be the only options.

Beyond that. Pouncey isn't a bad pick and Stefan Wisniewksi, who can play guard or center ,is also a good prospect.

With Cam Heyward, his value depends somewhat on the condition of his elbow that he had surgery on. Right now he's looking like a second round pick.

Unless Casey Mattherws blows everyone away at the Combine, he isn't going in the 3rd round.

I don't see where WR is a priority early but if they feel they need then Leonard Hankerson would be better than Young.

 

[NelsonsLongCatch]

Peter King seems to think Jones will leave as a FA and Driver might retire.

So, I'm not so sure how fine we are at WR anymore if that all happens.

James Jones is a weird case. He's talented, but if I watch him drop another 60-yard touchdon, I'm going to go crazy. It would all depend on how much he wants.

It's never too soon to draft some additional WR talent. The Packers could always use additional offensive linement and corners.

Remember Bulaga was projected to be a possible top-5 definite top-10 pick? We got him at 23. It's possible teams will be looking at other positions that are deeper in this years draft than OL.

That being said, I agree with the notion of grabbing Pouncey. Like I said LG is still one of the shakiest positions on the team, and Wells isn't getting younger. (although they say center is much more of a cerebral position, and older guys can still do it)
