That's messed up but, I admit, made me laugh. I have a feeling Griffin himself might laugh at that too
50% less chance of defensive holding calls. (I'm already going to hell)
On the one hand, he’s got great measurables. On the other ha.....

Janis gets a lot of flack, in today's Amerika not surprising really. Matthew Slater a pretty good specials team player, much like Janis, isn't much of a WR for New England.

nope finally get a chance at a blue-chipper (well the potential and odds are much better at 14), take the pick. ridley would be a beauty, or any one of the d players mentioned around our pick. there is no doubt, with how qb's can be valued this draft, a great player will fall to us, we just have to make the pick and not get cute (try to fit a square peg in a round hole)
A new mock draft out this morning from Nate Davis at USA Today. He has the Packers taking Marcus Davenport and Josh Jackson falling to 28.
Per 247Sports, these are the rookies Green Bay met with at the combine:

Interesting list. Either a sign Gute is willing to look at TEs higher in the draft or he's looking to restock WR. Or, does hardly any D players mean interviews are all a smoke screen? Oh, the intrigue!
Richmond QB Kyle Lauletta could be an interesting midrounder. Lots of talk about him being “the next Garapolo”. Very similar prospect it seems.

If I can package a couple picks and get right back into the mid first round, yes. You'd likely be able to hold onto one second rounder in that trade or get a 3rd in return as well.
Depends on how many QBs are off the board. If a lot are gone, that means more really good players at other positions fall into the start of the second round and with 33 and 35, you're going to get quality and quantity. One shot at 14-16 is still a crossed-fingers deal that single player will make a difference.
I wasn't going to mention this but now that 24/7 posted it....
I was watching the combine & liked Ian Thomas.
He'll be a nice sleeper when the Packers draft him
Of course a lot would depend on how things fall, but assume DJ Chark is the second rounder would you rather have say Marcus Davenport or Leighton Vander Esch, Mike Gesicki and Quenton Meeks?
I’m a big fan of Gesicki
I’d give up a lot for Quenton Nelson. Just not enough to move up 7 spots. But he’s the missing piece of the puzzle. He’d make the entire interior OL better.
If he’s gone then it’s Ridley or Ward at 14. Josh Jackson’s 4.6 40 at the combine after a 4.49 is all you need to know about his drive.
Ridley in the slot is a great add provided they add a legitimate TE.

Mike Sherman was a sleeper at the draft too. How did that work out for the Packers?
Combine.
We probably would have been better off had he slept through the draft.
Awww c'mon!! Drafting BJ Sander in the 3rd round because other teams subterfuge him into thinking he'd go before their next pick, then keeping BJ on inactive because "someone has to be inactive".....We need to get back to those good times!
Christ....that's enough to drive me to drink, eat bath salts & turn into a purple people-y Viking fan
Hey, don't forget trading 2 picks to move up to take James Lee. He scraped his knuckles on the ground and went on IR - for 4 years. It seemed like that anyway.

And cost about the same as Kyri Thornton, Abdul Hodge, Aaron Rouse and Kyler Fackrell.
All of whom actually PLAYED IN real NFL games.
Don't try & cover up that ridiculous move for a ****ing punter!! Gimme a break man. I don't care how much of a nice guy he is.
**** picks are **** picks, regardless of position.
Under TT, Sander would have been the punter for a couple of seasons at least.
you may be right.
I wonder, probably wrongly, if Vita Vea's hamstring issue could make him slide in to the second round. The knock is he hasn't always been consistent and if his hammy keeps him from performing well at his pro day, could that be enough to take him down just enough?
There's a part of me that sees him as a bigger, faster Raji.
I don't know about the rest of you, but if you post a link, with no description or what I am going to find at the end of the link, I won't click the link

Me three. But not at 14.

Sparq, or not, Ridley is the type of speedy WR we need. If OG Quentin Nelson is gone by 14, I'd go for Ridley, if he is available. If Ridley is gone, I'd look to S Derwin James or CB Denzel Ward.

Highly doubtful he's there for us in the 2nd...there are other decent TE's in this draft, but he has separated himself from the others, and should be the first one off the board.
I see him there in the second. My consensus board took a big turn though, Calvin Ridley is now our second round pick.
