I take this as a jab but i'll bite just because. The Green Bay Packers have traded their 1st rd. pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for Safety Eric Berry. There ya go...happy now?
Why in the world would the Chiefs trade him?

I'm not saying they would i was just throwing that out there to mess with longtime. would be nice tho. Maybe we throw in a 3rd as well? stranger things have happened on draft day so.....
I wonder who the new chiefs gm would be after they fire Dorsey for doing something that stupid.
I like your thinking. How about a nice large possession guy like a Mike Evans? Evans and Jordy on the outside with Cobb in the slot is a scary thought for every DC in the league.It typically takes 2 years to develop a WR, even if he's an upper round pick.
Let's say Finley counts as 1/2 of a WR.
Finley has a career threatening injury and his contract is up...it's likely he'll be unsigned at draft time. Jones may be unsigned or gone at the time of the draft. Nelson will be an FA after next season. Cobb is coming off a serious injury. I'd say WR is a need position in an offense that should be 4 deep, or at least 3 deep with a WR-like TE option. As a side note that plays into the equation, Quarless will also be a FA after this season.
We could be going into next season with Nelson, Boykin, a questionable Cobb, Bostick and just some guys, with Nelson in his contract year. That's not a good look.
Like I said, we need to see how things develop between now and the draft, but WR or a TE/WR hybrid could be a high need position especially if Cobb does not come back this season where his recovery can be evaluated based on game play, for which there is no substitute.
Cobb was definitely a need pick. Jones was unsigned at the time of the 2011 draft, Driver was in decline and Jennings was a FA 2 years out. I observed at the time that the sigining of Cobb, a slot receiver type, was a signal that difficulties in resigning Jennings were anticipated, a guy who made a lot of hay for us out of the slot. I would observe that the absence of Jennings and Cobb on the field this season goes a long way toward explaining our poor red zone performance this season even before Rodgers was injured illustrating the criticality of the slot receiver in this offense.
Bostick provides the same size/speed measurables as Finley and has shown decent hands on his few targets. Quarless shouldn't cost much so I'd suspect he'll be back as the blocking TE complement to Bostick's TE/WR hybrid profile.
In light of these realities, WR should be fairly high up the needs list.
In light of the probable fact that Finley is never coming back and that we may not be resigning JJ and that we only have 3 WRs, why do you not see us getting a WR if BPA is one?I think I can see us drafting any of 10 or so guys if we stay where we are.
Not going to draft a WR, QB, RB, OT, G, ect in the first round. That really helps narrow it down. I think we will have a great opportunity to pick a play maker bc we will be one of the highest drafting teams that doesn't draft a QB OT or WR.

Hyde? -No thanks. That Borland kid is good though.

TT picked Nelson with his first pick in 08, the 5th pick of the 2nd round. Not a 1st round pick but only 6 picks later than we would have picked if we didn't trade down out of the 1st round. I think he worked out well. With only 4 viable WRs on our roster, I think its a need. But I do agree, we have greater needs. Its just that we have so many needs this year.1. TT doesn't draft WRs in the 1st
2. High fail rate for WRs in 1st
3. Not a need
4. Won't contribute for a year or two at least. As historically WRs don't.
I could easily see us replacing Finley at the TE position. Otherwise it's defensive.
You guys do realize i wasnt serious right? Geeze you fellas are to easy. As i said in a previous post i did it to mess with longtime for taking a jab at me. Id question the motives of kc if they agreed to that myself.
Sorry,I wasn't poking fun at your post, I knew it was a joke. Just thought it was fun to imagine the Chiefs GM on a bender making crazy trades.

Yep, I think Nix is the man if we can get him.Gotta go defense imo. Could go tightend but we have alot of guy's on the dline that may not be here next yr. Going to need some depth there.
If there's not a safety or ILB worth taking when we pick I would absolutely take Jace.Well, Ha' Dix would be the best thing for the Packers, i'm not a big fan of trading that many picks for Berry, you should also look at the paycheck Berry is on, that is wayy over our budget, considering we already are overpaying one safety.
If we were to pay that kind of money for a safety, I would consider Jarius Byrd, he's UFA after this season, avg. salery should be a few mil. per season cheaper, and we don't have to use draft picks.
Louis Nix would be a steal, doesn't look like he will drop further than mid round 1.
TE Jace Amaro is looking to be a round 1 pick, and with Finley's Q's we need something at that position, though i'm not a fan of drafting i TE in RD1.
