Rd 1. Van Noy in the first. Can play any LB position. Packers did meet with him
Rd 2. WR Jared Abbrederis in the 2nd-Best route runner n the draft and runs a 4.40. Can also be the punt and KR his first year
Rd 3. CB Jaylen Watkins-if Hyde is the safety they have to get some more depth.
Rd 3. hopefully a comp pic- TE CJ Fiedorowicz
RD 4- Daniel McCullors DL Tenn-
RD 5- QB of choice
Terrific football intelligence. Keys and diagnoses quickly, understands run fits and spills willingly. Physical -- good take-on/tackle strengh between the tackles. Pursues hard. Good tackler when he's able to square up ball carriers. Two-year captain with outstanding football character. Leads vocally and by example. Football is in his blood and approaches the game accordingly.
Average athlete. Not explosive. Tight hips (exposed in space). Limited foot speed, lateral agility and range. Can be late to the perimeter. Struggles in man coverage and is stiff dropping/turning in coverage.
Big, tough, experienced, durable, competitive Mike linebacker who was a heart-and-soul type for the stingiest defense in college football. Like a coach on the field, Bullough is a throwback talent whose instincts and technique will have to compensate for athletic limitations for him to win a starting role.
Scary how Hawkish this analysis reads. Just knowing we could see a different number making tackles 5-10 yds down field is uplifting.
The two biggest needs are still S and NT.
I like Bullough but I think he's another Abdul Hodge & I liked Hodge too
Max is faster, bigger, and smerter than Borland. And likely to be there 1-2 rounds later. Lamin Barrow isn't bad. Quicker but not as stout run stopper.
One other point, the boys at 1265 seem to really like Sam Barrington. Think back to where Bishop was after 1st year vs where he got to before injury.
The two biggest needs are still S and NT.
Packers also like Latimore enough to given him 1+ million.
The Packers have a red zone offence need. Last year they had troubled scoring TD's. Power game near the goal would be helped with a Big TE, Big Wide, power back in the vein of Hondo.
Near the goalline I'd like to see more Jumbo sets with Daniels and Raji blocking for Lacey.... Good luck stopping that...
i'm not a big fan of taking te's early. i trust our development in players and i'd rather grab a freakish athlete later in the draft and teach him to play the position. not many in this draft class though. colt lyerla is f'd up in the head and ac leonard has had some red flag issues too.
Jones was better than Hawk on a snap per snap basis at half the price, Hawk just didn't get hurt.
The Packers have a red zone offence need. Last year they had troubled scoring TD's. Power game near the goal would be helped with a Big TE, Big Wide, power back in the vein of Hondo.
In my opinion that was more of a play calling problem. We have one of the best power run games but didn't use it as often as we should have in the red zone.
Jimmy Ward has the goods to be a good NFL Safety IMO. Hope Ted and company have been paying attention. Guys a playmaker and really takes pride in his tackling.
Not that I'm biased to promote a NIU player 
The MAC has produced some good NFL talent....of which significantly helped bring our latest Lombardi !!
If we go safety early, would be thrilled with Ha Ha or Prior as well.
I still have the feeling it's Van Noy in the first, maybe after trading back a bit, Jimmy Ward-type safety, a WR, a NT, a TE, a C, a flier ILB and a CB.
I would hope we'd do a bit more than take a "flier" on a MLB.
Van Noy would be the early pick lining up inside. The latter guy would follow TT's MO of double-dipping.
Van Noy is listed as an OLB.
GB needs a true thumper in the middle.
My left nut for Patrick Willis!!
Van Noy can play either, but is better suited inside for Green Bay. He's physical, athletic, quick and can cover as well as blitz. He could be a Navarro Bowman type with better quicks.
Think bigger, faster, better Brandon Chillar.
agree completely with this. If we can't get Mosley, there is a huge gap to the next ILBer. I think we could Jones (FSU) or Skov (Stanford) in the third round or with comp pick. Safeties that may be able to play right away may not last past the second round.
I'm thinking Mosely, Ebron, Prior, Haha or Van Noy... Who would be the BPA if all five were on the board? And who would Ted take?
In the order you listed them, although it's a pick-em between the two sateties.
ILB. CJ Mo (R1), Chris Bo (R2), or Shayne Sko (R3) - get at least one, wouldn't mind getting two. Best safety available (hopefully either R1 or R2). If don't get 2 ILB, grab best WR/CB return guy available to get Cobb out of that role (Abracadabra would make a ton of sense for this). Hopefully CJ Fiedo is available in R4.

It can not be just play calling, bad play calling would only account for a small proportion of failed red zone opportunities. The power run game was not all that great and only developed latter in the season.
There is good reason to believe the Packer run game will be really good next season. A big TE, Receiver, or a clone of Hondo Williams would be really help the power game. A back like Hondo or Klune would be a mid round type draft pick. I have been convinced for several years that the Packers have been looking for Hondo clone since he retired.
Ted will pick a tackle in the first three rounds
who started out as a TE
Van Noy can play either, but is better suited inside for Green Bay. He's physical, athletic, quick and can cover as well as blitz. He could be a Navarro Bowman type with better quicks.

Not saying it's not out there, but I haven't found a site yet that lists him as a MLB. Have a link?
This is from CBS Sports on Van Noy:
Relies on instincts and efficiency, rather than physicality. Beats blockers to the action, rather than taking them on shedding violently and isn't an explosive tackler. Projects best as a traditional outside linebacker in the 4-3 alignment because of this lack of take-on mentality, though he has shown the ability to get to the quarterback.
In some games we lacked enough LBs to play a real 3-4. LB will be a round 1-3 pick.
Safety remains a problem even if Hyde moves. S will be a round 1-3 pick.
That said, if a Van Noye or a top TE is there, who doesn't need them?

...our run game is greatly enhanced by the threat of our passing attack, which forces people to play 2 deep safeties. This is not the case from inside the 10 yard line. As LT kept saying on the NFL Network, we gained alot of rushing yards vs. a "light box"....there is no "light box" inside the 10 yard line....a TE would help down there.
S, ILB, WR, interior OL... then TE

Guy's just a good football player who can blitz (almost looked better blitzing when lined up inside than out), spy, drop & zone cover. Needs to add some bulk in the weight room but otherwise a pretty solid guy.
I'm waiting to see what Mosley's Pro Day numbers are going to be. He didn't do much at the Combine, making me wonder if he's dealing with injuries. If you're looking at linebackers, the guys with the numbers are (not necessarily in order):
(1) Khairi Fortt - CAL - 6-2, 248 - 4.7 40 - 30 bench - 36" vertical, 10' broad jump - 33 5/8" arms
(2) Max Bullough - Mich St. - 6-3, 249 - 4.78 40 - 30 bench - 31" vertical, 9'4" broad jump - 31" arms
(3) Chris Borland - WIS - 5-11, 248 - 4.83 40 - 27 bench - 31" vertical, 9'6" broad jump - 29 1/4" arms
(4) Kevin Pierre-Louis - BC - 6-0, 232 - 4.51 40 - 28 bench - 39" vertical, 10'8" broad jump - 32 1/4" arms
(5) Prince Shembo - ND - 6-1, 253 - 4.71 40 - 26 bench - 38.5" vertical, 10'2" broad jump - 33 1/8" arms
(6) Kyle Van Noy - Penn St. - 6-3, 243 - 4.71 40 - 21 bench - 32.5" vertical, 9'4" broad jump, 31 5/8" arms
(7) Avery Williamson - Kentucky - 6-1, 246 - 4.66 40 - 25 bench - 30.5" vertical, 10' broad jump - 32 3/4" arms
(8) Jordan Zumwalt - UCLA - 6-4, 235 - 4.76 40 - DNP in the bench - 33" vertical, 9'8" broad jump, 31 1/4" arms
I've only included guys who participated in all the drills at the combine, with the exception of Zumwalt, who didn't bench, and also guys with good measurables. I didn't include Mack or Barr, who will, in all likelihood be off the board. As far as those 2 go, I think Mack certainly looks like the stronger and more athletic of the 2.
I don't see any of these other guys being graded out as first round picks, with the exception of Mosley, who remains a question mark to me.
Obviously, these are only workout numbers, and they don't really tell a thing about how well a guy can play the position.
TEd loves WRs in the 2nd round. Could see two of the three guys from Wisconsin, LSU and Fl State being there. Aberderiss, Beckham and Benjamin.
Other than LS or P, every position would benefit from an infusion of talent. BPA, even if it is an OT, RB, or QB.
I don't understand why many draftniks seem to keep discounting how good of a LB Shayne Skov is. Barring injury he will be the best ILB to come from this draft. He's not as athletic as CJ Mosley, but he's more instinctive and physical. Had he not torn his ACL in 2011 he would easily be the #1 ILB in this class IMO. Watch his game vs. Oregon and vs. UCLA in 2013 and tell me he's not the best ILB in the draft.
I like Skov, but I have a feeling he's in the Packers' no-man's-land of 5-15 in Round 2.
Ted has admitted that need can break ties in BPA, and I think he illustrated that very clearly with the 2012 draft.
TE, S and ILB have the best chance of contributing from Day 1, so I could see him lean that way if all things are equal. But with what seems like a legitimate goal of getting his best players on the field on D this year, any Front 7 spot could easily jump into the rotation.
