The official offseason draft thread

Something wrong with your post, there are three players not in the Big 10.

No way Dennard lasts to the 3rd round.

Between Nix and Dix, who is BPA?

 

If Nix is BPA, that's a tough one.  I am sold on S/ILB, but to pass on an interior defensive lineman should he be rated higher than the safety?

 

Hmmmm.

they most likely move Hyde to safety next year and I doubt they are ready to give up on Burnett after the big contract. Unless CJ Mosely is there when the Packers draft I don't see them going for LB there. And unless there is a big defensive linemen there (the kid from Notre Dame) I don't see Ted going there. So looks like a WR or TE in the first round and a LB in the second.

 

If for nothing else his rep is Bus Cook.

I believe Ted tries to get his Safety or ILB in rounds 2 and 3. His first rounder likely a DL, WR or TE. Rounds 4-7 depth & BPA. Probably a few trades along the way for more picks, but could see him trying to move up in round 2 to get a guy he really likes. We should get a good comp pick for the loss of gerg and walden.

ooh I forgot about the comp picks. 

 

TT will not draft a WR in RD1.

 

CHI will play spoiler for us in the draft.  They will either take Mosely or Dix. 

Ted likes to go with big guys with speed in the first round.  Factor in need the Packers may go for a big fast interior linebacker in the first round.

That was my original thought too, but supposedly there are concerns about his speed and fluidity. 

the linebacker from Fla State is moving up the boards. Hopefully if drafted by Packers he will do better than the last 1st round pick drafted from there.

Let's see... Bucs have Tedford for OC, Hardy Nickerson back as Linebackers Coach, Leslie Frazier as DC... that's good...

 

But, the Bucs never draft the guy I would...not A.P, not Calvin Johnson, not Steven Jackson,...

This year, I am going out and begging them to trade up and get the franchise QB... Bridgewater or Manziel... that's it.  Manziel is small, but the guy is competitive as all hell,... does anything, improvises to win...dare I say,...looks like a Favre when it comes to competing and a chip on the shoulder...

Yep, get Manziel...Bucs would instantly become relevant again and be on TV all the time so I could cancel my Sunday Ticket. 

 

Then, go get DaVonte Adams, WR from Fresno State in Round 2

Mike Glennon is a Tedford-type QB to work with.

 

Manziel is not.

 

The (at least near-)future QB is likely already on the roster.

BraK:  Unless Khalil mack has been molesting children TT would look like Lacey running up to the podium do draft him at 21.  This guy is the real deal and if he is on the board after 12 I can pray but he is gone.  I also think Tuitt will be a Bear so prepare for Jace Amaro to be a packer.  

I drafted Glennon in the 2nd round of the 16 team keeper league I am in so I hope he is TB's QB of the future!  (My other QB is Brady, i.e. getting up there.)

Bears could go Tuitt, Mosely or Dix with their RD1.  They have need at all 3 of those positions.

maybe so, but we will still kick their ass and win the division again next year. They resigned Cutler-That is a signing we can all be grateful for.

not a real favorite of the fans down here and talk radio beats him up like crazy. A big game for this guy is 200 yards passing. And I think he had only one of those.

Interestingly enough, IF GB had decided to sit Rodgers and tank the last game for a better draft pick, the 7-8-1 Packers would have been at the same spot as the Bears are now ( # 14)

So glad that game ended the way it did, eriegardless.

 

Two guys who would benefit immensely from some speed training this offseason:

 

Eddie Lacy and Mike Neal.

Have to select Dix in Rd 1 if he's available.

GB went a full season without a safety picking off a pass. GB faced 500 plus pass attempts and the safties couldn't grease out one INT??? I'd say that's impossible to pull off but that wouldn't be accurate.

Maybe Capers scheme isn't putting them in the right spots but you have to have a serious lack of skills to face 500 pass attempts and not find a way to make a play on one wayward ball.

It can't be Capers because he's an "Excellent Coach"....So we've been told.

"Outstanding coach" was what McCarthy said... and I think he used that adjective to basically tell everyone Capers isn't going anywhere so stop any of that talk now. If McCarthy had even a hint of a possibility that he might not keep Capers he more likely would have said something like Dom Capers is a good football coach.

 

 

Heck, Burnett had 2 in 2012, MD Jennings had 1, Woodson had 1, and McMillian had one.

In 2011 Burnett had 3, Peprah had 5, and hybrid Woodson had 7.

 

IN 2010 Collins had 4, Peprah 2, Burnett 1 and Derrick MArtin had 1.

That's terrific. I was able to draft Ha Ha Clinton-Dix S, University of Alabama.

I would crap my pants if he's available when GB picks.

Daniels is a situational player in a 3-4 defense. He isn't going to be able to hold up v. Double teams because of his size. He's a sub-package player who is sued to press the pocket on passing downs.

 

IMO, if you play him like a starter in a base 3-4 his pocket pressure will drop to nothing as he get's worn out and disappear. And probably end up hurt.

Daniels effectiveness was not impacted by playing nearly 50% of the snaps on D this season. I think you are off the mark on your assessment. Daniels was easily the most consistent and impactful player on the DL this season.

If there are any trades involving Jordy Nelson, you might as well throw in Rodgers too.

When Daniels was limited to mostly passing downs, he was their best down pass rusher (and sometimes their best rusher, period) but he also got blown out a number of times on running plays. The Pittsburgh game was a good example. Daniels was playing DE on the goalline package on Bell's run that lead to the winning TD. The scrub Steelers LT blew him so far out of the play that David DeCastro (pulling guard) lead through the hole so cleanly he could get a clear block on anyone he wanted (and did).  

I want seven draft picks that all are 1st team all-pro their first year.

I believe they let the Steelers score the last touchdown.

If Daniels holds his ground, the Steelers likely kick a field goal. It was not the TD play he was blown out on used as an example.

Teddy Bridgewater: The Next Aaron Rodgers?

And the media collectively blows their wad for finally being able to compare a collard QB to a whitey one.

They compared him to the CAL Rodgers and not the GBP Rodgers... vastly different QBs. Lots to like about Bridgewater, but there was lots to like about Vince Young too.

Wait until they can compare him to a gay quarterback.  [ducking] 

 

He also didn't do well against fat, white Wisconsin fed farm boys either. Was rather surprised how small he looked against them. A big, physical OL me thinks he get stoned.
