For me, the best 1/2 combo would be Byron Jones at CB in the first, and Denzel Perryman for ILB in the second, with rounds 3-5 focused on a raw/high upside TE, a raw/high upside edge rusher and a defensive lineman (in no particular order). Finish out the draft with another CB, another ILB, some backup at offensive line and RB, and then either a project QB, safety or bpa in terms of front seven defensive players.

Returning our entire offense of consequence from last season really was a huge, huge benefit this off season, especialky since age isn't really a short or even medium term issue for anyone we have there (Kuhn and Starr's being the only offensive players with less than 5 quality seasons realistically left in them). I really hope and expect us to focus extremely strongly on defence in this draft, and we can more than afford to because the other side of the ball isn't even a remote issue!

30.) Anthony ILB 62.) Pj Williams CB 94.) Lorenzo Mauldin OLB 129.) Mitch Morse OG 166.) Ben Koyack TE 206.) Brandon Bridge QB 210.) Zach Zenner RB 213.) Nick Marshall CB. 247.) Deon Simon NT

limerickfc · 29-04-2015 7:54pm

Aboves my packers mock draft..2 starters with the 1st too picks, develop LM for a year to take over for peppers, Morse is extremely versatile which is what we need for our OL, Koyaks a good blocker and was underused at Notre Dame, bridge is a project, zenner to lighten lacys load, Marshall has good size for a CB, love Simon as our future NT

I was absolutely confused by this pick - would have said that safety is a position that we were ok in and malcom Brown still on the board would have been good value .... so i hadnt done too much research on Randall! But he is gonna be used as corner - and Arizona State said the only reason they played him at safety was because thats where the need was and their system needed the best player at safety. His coverage ability would lead him to be a great corner! I know he climbed a lot up mock drafts and rankings over the last few weeks so here is hoping he comes good!

UnitedIrishman · 01-05-2015 11:54am

So a DB who supposedly doesn't tackle well but is a bit of a ball hawk... He'll fit right in!

Can't say I know or have watched a lot of him so will have to watch a bit over the weekend. Will be interesting to see what linebackers fall to the bottom of the second.

raze_them_all_ · 01-05-2015 12:51pm

he must tackle well going by nfl. com report. they said something like when he hits his victim he jolts them hard

Had a look at some of his tackles/games (slow day at work) and to me he tackles as good as or better than Trae Waynes anyways. He's not going to be our last line of defence anyways - HaHa covers and hits hard in that respect - so it may not be a massive issue. I think the not tackling well thing comes from him not smashing guys but rather just hangs on and gets them down which is good enough for me - whether that will be good enough with much bigger receivers and RB's time will tell.

Bizarre draft so far.

limerickfc · 02-05-2015 2:40am

I'm confused right now..if we had gone Abthony or Kendricks in the1st I'd b happy now but 2 safeties/undersized CB's..e em if we were happy on tangle then y not Davis or Dawson..or even if we're goons go DB then y not PJ Williams

Pherekydes · 02-05-2015 8:15am

Montgomery was projected to be a first rounder before a poor senior year dropped him to the third. But at least we addressed that glaring need we had at WR, that huge chasm we had in our offence.

Next round I hope we address the need for a backup kicker. And maybe a waterboy or two.

I suppose TT will look like Einstein in two or three years' time. :pac:

Barney92 · 02-05-2015 11:05am

I woke up this morning and was scrolling through the third round thinking, why has Dawson not been picked yet. Then as I got closer and closer to the Packers thought that's handy he's fallen quite nicely then. But no, it was not to be. Strange pick considering Cobb just resigned, as did Nelson the year before, but TT usually knows what he's doing so he could be a very good pick.

limerickfc · 02-05-2015 2:23pm

I'm hoping we pick up spikes on a 1 year deal after free agencies we reli need bodies at this stage

mikemac1 · 02-05-2015 10:07pm

Packers take a full back in the 6th

Does this mean the end for Kuhn or will he get a chance to win his job in training camp?

limerickfc · 02-05-2015 10:30pm

Goin looking at film of our 3 6th round picks now..ny of ye no much about em.?

limerickfc · 02-05-2015 11:26pm

Bit disappointed with how rnd 6 went..FB is a position u can pick up cheap at anytime..Backmon probably could have been picked up in free agency and Koyack and wes saxton were still available and who are clearly better..Sicknd we didn't take Deon Simon then aswell instead of Ringo..I hope u make me wrong TT but it really feels like

NotASheeple · 09-05-2015 4:11am

I was a bit disappointed by our draft overall. We could have grabbed Malcom Brown before the Pats got him. He has the potential to be a great player and I really liked him. So for me, missing out on him was a big disappointment.

raze_them_all_ · 12-06-2015 4:23pm

I did that thing where I watched hilights of charles woodson. He made that defence and it hasnt changed since he left, the problem is we don't have a ballhawk anything like the man

nasty_crash · 06-07-2015 1:37pm

Delighted that Rodgers have Quarless the jinx there last week - saying that he was gonna make the jump this year - the dope only went and got himself arrested for firing a gun in miami - and then tried to hide hit - idiot!!

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000500116/article/packers-te-andrew-quarless-arrested-for-firing-gun

Im sorry but thats Richard Rodgers as TE1 now and hope he makes the grade!! I know packers are one of the better teams in the league but still how can any of these guys keep doing this!

If this comes off I will be a happy happy camper!

The report also said the 2016 Jaguars home game in London will be against the Packers, which would trade one of Jacksonville’s most attractive home dates for the ability to sell more tickets farther away from their actual home.

nasty_crash · 13-07-2015 2:24pm

Where/what **** do you drink? :pac:

Hopefully it's true. Cost of ticket would be pretty much it bar spending money. Flights will be nothing and have accommodation over there.

Completely nonsensical post, is nonsensical.

No need to be so touchy btw. The reason I put the pacman emoticon at the end of my last post, was to let you know I was only messing.

I'm still holding out hope.

What do we think of the new throwbacks? I like them, but I think I prefer the last ones, with the circle numbers (heresy!).

im not gone on them to be honest - i agree last years ones were nicer - i know that its a historical jersey but i dont think it looks great!

Rick_ · 30-07-2015 11:02pm

I'd absolutely love to see the Packers in Wembley. I really hope it happens in 2016. Would me a fantastic experience finally to see my own team live without having to travel to the US.

absolutely possible to get tickets - doesnt sell out quick but in saying that if packers are playing then i think it will sell out quicker than normal - prob the same for pats i assume

digzy · 02-08-2015 11:23pm

I know it's a bit off topic but what's the handiest way to see the packers games here? I've sky anyway but they only feature a few of our games in the reg season.

Would one sign up to game pass or is there a good site for streaming the live games. Is there such a thing as a 'packers pass'!

writhen · 03-08-2015 8:13am

You can sign up for a follow your team subscription on game pass. I think it works out less expensive than the regular sub.

Billy86 · 14-08-2015 12:18am

Really wanna see some of the fringe guys in action.

The qb who over inflates the ball vs tthe qb thats knows nothing abouyt underinflated balls

Billy86 · 14-08-2015 12:48am

Godgers vs. The Brevil... yeah, I'll work on it.

Really wanna see Randall, Rollins and Ryan on defence, with the gaps in their positions and upside of all three.

ScummyMan · 14-08-2015 9:28am

Good solid performance. CBs look very good, so did Tolzien. Usual suspects - ie run defense and red zone offense - again cause for concern.

What makes it worse they repeatidly went for it on 4th so looked even lamer than usual in red zone

I think the lack of a top TE is seriously hurting them.
