Packers 2016 NFL Draft – 10 Last-Minute Whispers, Predictions and Opinions
By JerseyAl
One again, we resume our annual tradition of draft day pontification on what may happen or should happen for the Packers in this year's draft. Alas, this may be the last year I have real, credible whispers for you (and not just made-up ones like you get in most places). My "Packers Whisperer" could be riding off into the sunset after a long and distinguished career. Time will tell.
Of course all is dependent on who is available when, but over the last five years the whisperer correctly identified these players as being of great interest to the Packers: Derrick Sherrod, Randall Cobb, Casey Hayward, Terrell Manning, BJ Coleman, Johnathan Franklin. Brett Hundley and probably some others I don't remember.
So when he speaks, I listen.
Here's my list:
1) Whisper: The Packers have done lots of extra homework on Vernon Butler and Andrew Billings.
2) Prediction: Packers will select a defensive tackle with Pick 1. I have felt this way for months and I have a pretty good track record with 1st round position predictions (when I don't change my mind at the last minute). I occasionally get the player right too (BJ Raji, Derrick Sherrod, Nick Perry, Datone Jones). Anyway, Andrew Billings has been my favorite for a few months, but I expect Pittsburgh to nab him if not someone before them. I therefore decided on Kenny Clark for this year's mock, but it could just as easily be Vernon Butler, Jarran Reed or Billings if he makes it to pick 27.
3) Opinion: OLB/Elephant is more of a need than ILB. I know that's heresy to say, but; Neal is gone, and Perry & Peppers could be gone after this year. That's why they are trying Datone Jones in that spot. Face it, ILB is just not as important a position in the scheme of the Packers' defense, and that's why fans have been disappointed the last few years as early round ILBs have been passed up by Ted. It will happen again this year, but he might just throw you a bone and take one in round three.
4) Whisper: Packers are thinking tight end in Rounds 3-5. Some names whispered in my ear: Thomas Duarte, Ben Braunecker, David Morgan.
5) Prediction: This draft year will be known as the year of the trades - and I'm not referring to the Packers specifically, just in general. There will be so many trades it will make your head spin if you try to follow it all.
6) Opinion: Many seem to think the Packers HAVE to draft a speed receiver due to the offense's issues last season. But so much of that was no Jordy Nelson, fat Eddie Lacy and a scheme that had receivers running the wrong types of routes at the wrong times. McCarthy has already stated they have identified that problem and will not make the same mistakes (Thanks Mike!). With Jordy and Montgomery back, the Packers now have seven quality receivers. Do they need to waste a draft pick on another? I say no.
7) Whisper: Packers have done a lot of research on Reggie Ragland and just can't make up their minds. It's a divided room. Some think he's the guy, others have him with a second round grade. As always, it's Ted's call.
8) Prediction: I see the Packers drafting a running back in rounds 4-6. One that can catch passes out of the backfield. Tyler Ervin is my favorite in those rounds because of his kick return abilities. But I love everything C.J. Prosise does.
9) Opinion (three -pack of goodbyes): Packers are keeping Julius Peppers one year too long. BJ Raji should stay retired after this season. Sean Richardson needs to take the 2.5M guaranteed he banked last year, retire from football and move on to the next chapter of his life.
10) Final Whisper: The three OLB prospects the Packers have shown the most interest in are: Kamalei Correa, Emmanuel Ogbah and Shilique Calhoun. THIS JUST IN: Packers have made three trips to Michigan St. to see Calhoun. I didn't know this when I selected him in my mock draft earlier this afternoon, but it works out nicely.
Let the Draft Begin!

I loved Billings tape too and I'd love that selection at #27. I'd have to work on liking the Calhoun pick. I just don't see it - honestly. I hope the visits were cover-ups for who they really want for the 2nd pick.

It's still a long time 'til #27, but I always look forward to this column and it will give me more to think about as the evening unfolds. Thanks, Al!

Al--you should post this as a retrospective next year's Draft Eve.
Idiot Fan
April 28, 2016 at 05:15 pm
Will there be a live blog tonight?
JerseyAl
April 28, 2016 at 06:12 pm
unfortunately no, just too much going on...
Idiot Fan
April 28, 2016 at 06:14 pm
Ok, thanks for all the other great coverage though!

April 28, 2016 at 05:17 pm
Nooooo not Nick Perry Calhouuuun!!!!!!
John Galt III
April 28, 2016 at 05:22 pm
1st round they trade down a few places (2-6).
They may end up with 11 picks. TT will at least make two more trades in the three days.
For some reason I don't see the talent this year, so by trading down in the draft ( always a crap shoot) they get better odds.
Almost all draft boards have Packers taking mostly defensive players especially at the top. TT could surprise here.
With all that said - good information Jersey Al.

April 28, 2016 at 05:42 pm
I agree with all your opinions and predictions Jersey Al.
NickPerry

Why he's 6'2"...Looks like another DJ Willimas to me. No Thanks!
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 07:04 pm
My prediction: Trade down; no pick tonight.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:10 pm
Sure is good timing for the Ragland health report to come out. Hmm. Packers, is that you? Ok, I'm kidding. But still -- interesting timing.
Icebowler
April 28, 2016 at 07:15 pm
I assume the Packers brass knew about Ragland's enlarged Aorta long before we heard reported today?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:26 pm
Since when is having a lot of heart a bad thing for a football player?!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:21 pm
Jared Goff flunks the name test in historic fashion.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:22 pm
We need a live chat :(
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:25 pm
Let's takeover this thread.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:27 pm
Man, you know how much refreshing we'd be doing? Lol.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:28 pm
Not like I'll be doing anything else. Ha. Bourbon in my left hand. iPhone in my right.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:31 pm
Lol. Eff it. Let's go!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:31 pm
First surprise of the draft.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:31 pm
Wow!? Joey Bosa to the Chargers? Hahahahahahahahaha!
For those who don't like TT - y'all better appreciate him.

The Packers are supposed to have a live draft cam. I can't find it at the Packers ' website. Anyone know how to get it?
GoldenRetriever
April 28, 2016 at 07:45 pm
Found it: http://pckrs.com/3dn3
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:35 pm
Can someone remind me how Gruden got a reputation as some super talent evaluator?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:40 pm
A running back 4th. Top of this draft is idiotic. Jax and Bal have to be laughing their asses off.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 07:50 pm
I think he's a special player, but RB 4th overall...That's hard to swallow when compared to others on the board and needs.
But this is key: that OLine for the Cowboys is great.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 07:53 pm
Exactly. The OL is so great they don't need a special RB.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:04 pm
Tomatoe...cucumber....
Maybe they get aggressive it 2nd? The DL pool is rich.
I can't believe I'm typing this sh*t. I'm a devoted Cowboy Hater.

Jerry Jones's stupidity is everyone else's gain.
Robert Cutlip Jr.
April 29, 2016 at 12:17 pm
Stephan made this pick from my Packers Perch in Texas.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:14 pm
You say to-ma-toe. I say Darren McFadden rushed for 1,100 yards.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:08 pm
Jacksonville got a gift! I'm telling you, these guys are going to be good.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:09 pm
If the Bears get Jack....
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:09 pm
If the Bears get Jack....
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:12 pm
With that knee...and that field...ugh
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:15 pm
Ah. Floyd. Saw a lot of mocks having them take him where they were originally.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:15 pm
I'm just happy they gave up a pick.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:16 pm
They snatched Floyd away from Tampa Bay
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:17 pm
How so? They traded with TB for the pick?
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:20 pm
Oops, got confused, my bad.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:22 pm
So many bad picks my brain is stunned.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:14 pm
Quick question: has a Packer ever won the Walter Peyton award?
Robert Cutlip Jr.
April 29, 2016 at 12:42 pm
Will all due respect, the black and blue division have always had legendary running backs.
Sayers, Sanders and Payton to name a few.
DrealynWilliams
April 29, 2016 at 12:42 pm
WHAT?????
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:16 pm
I really like Leonard Floyd, but I don't think he'll be much of a threat on that team. Not much help. The Bears still suck
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:18 pm
These coverage "highlights" are brutal.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:25 pm
I think he's one of those players that his best years are a few years ahead. If you win - it's a jackpot.
In the tape I seen, he's fluid in pass zone and he can really run. I seen him outrun a WR on a fly route
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:25 pm
Was it James Jones?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:30 pm
LMAO! I'm done with you, man!
Hahahahahahahaha
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:32 pm
Lol!
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:19 pm
What does it mean when you'd rather hear Mel's analysis than Gruden's?
Idiot Fan
April 28, 2016 at 08:29 pm
Nobody is worse than Mel, IMO. I'm stuck in a hotel room that doesn't have NFLN, so I'm stuck with these guys. Sigh.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:32 pm
Mel has grown on me, he's a funny guy on the radio. Gruden has had about 10 QBs in the first round, including Hackenberg.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:23 pm
Really high for Apple. This draft is nuts. Someone good is gonna fall to GB. What does TT do if Tunsil is there??
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:26 pm
Take him immediately!!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:27 pm
This happens every draft. Another reason why I never Mock. There's no way someone could accurately guess a full round. Let alone the Top 10.
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:29 pm
I think he'll take a deep breath but not inhale.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:24 pm
Ha. So much holding and illegal contact in that highlight.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:25 pm
Another questionable pick by NYG. Hargreaves(sp?) would be better.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:35 pm
As far as covering I've been hearing and reading a lot about the kid from Clemson. His completion % was highly rated and he didn't give up much TDs. I forgot where his is projected to go
Mackensie Alexander
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:33 pm
He's a good one, great name also.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:34 pm
Definitely passes the name test.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:32 pm
I need someone to hurry and take Darron Lee. At least by pick #20
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:34 pm
Go get Jack, Ted!
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:40 pm
He's going to the Raiders at #14 most likely.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:41 pm
Man. Jack plus Irvin and Mack. Damn.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:43 pm
Oh my.....
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:46 pm
Would be a great combo.
tm_inter
April 28, 2016 at 09:21 pm
Someone on tv said that Myles Jack is having knee surgery soon. That's why he's dropping.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:34 pm
I wonder when the WRs are going to start coming off the board and which one is coming first...
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:38 pm
Doctson, Treadwell.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:38 pm
Where was Sherrod ranked before he fell to us?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:39 pm
I think he was always slated as a late 1.
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:39 pm
Not as HIGH as Tunsil.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:41 pm

Darn Saints, they got Rankins
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:39 pm
What the hell, man! I didn't see any of that in Rankins film. Maybe I picked the wrong 3 games. He looks goooooood
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:44 pm
Dolphins be trippin', yo.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:44 pm
Tunsil in Miami. What could go wrong...heh
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:44 pm
Tannehill is a happy man.
Evan

We're getting there, hang on!
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:48 pm
Here ends the "live blog". Early morning here too. I hope TT is ok without our guidance.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:47 pm
Ok, what would it cost to move up 10 picks? A 3rd round pick? Maybe a 4th this year and a 3rd next year??
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:48 pm
Could this be the year? Hmmm
Find out next time on.....
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:47 pm
If Tunsil would have said "man" one more damn time...
TKWorldWide
April 28, 2016 at 08:49 pm
Man!
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:52 pm
Well, wrong again on the Raiders pick. Jack's knee must be worse than I thought.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 08:55 pm
Bears moved up for Floyd lol idiots. And yeahhhhhh Karl Joseph proud of ya buddy.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 08:57 pm
Wow...That's the first WR off the board?
Only the Browns...
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 08:57 pm
Can we do this tomorrow night also? I'm having a great time. Then you guys can come to my house for the Derby next Saturday.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:58 pm
Ha. I'll be around.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:00 pm
Derby is a two week vacation in Louisville.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 08:58 pm
11 more picks. Lots of good guys left.
RCPackerFan

I'm really liking how the board is falling.

Big storm my satellite just went out for the first time in several months.....what a fn joke. Where do I go to stream this freakin thing?????

Copy that thanks . Don't do the twitter Thang Evan.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:02 pm
I'm feeling better and better by the pick for aa trade back so far.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:03 pm
If Shaq Lawson doesn't come off the board within the next 3 picks or so.....maaaaaaaan
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:06 pm
Lee or Jack to ATL
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:07 pm
Just like I said.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:09 pm
Damn, you're good
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:06 pm
The Colts, Bills, Jets, Texans, Vikings, Seahawks HAVE to go Offense, right? This board is falling so beautifully at the moment.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:08 pm
You'd definitely think so...
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:10 pm
I'm guessing 2 WRs go in that stretch
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:10 pm
And OL.
That’sWhatCheesehead
April 28, 2016 at 09:10 pm
Is it just me or are a lot of names that I was seeing in the 1st round falling?
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 09:15 pm
Doesn't it always seem to happen every year? A team "overvalues" someone the prognosticators don't expect. A team reaches for a need. Some guy falls. We got it all this year.
That’sWhatCheesehead
April 28, 2016 at 09:16 pm
The whole bong smoking Twitter hacking was also pretty amazing/crazy.
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 09:10 pm
Move up to grab Myles Jack?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:11 pm
They might not even have to move.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:13 pm
I looked about a week ago and to move up to 20 would likely cost a 3rd round pick.
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 09:19 pm
Talking 7 spots right now with both Myles Jack and A'Shawn Robinson there. Boy that is really nice.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:20 pm
And Lee and Reed.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:12 pm
Another OL. Liking it!!!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:13 pm
Jets go QB?
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:14 pm
They almost have to don't they? Do they even have one?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:15 pm
Geno!
So, no, they don't.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:16 pm
Lol,
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:14 pm
If Shaq Lawson isn't picked by Bills, Redskins, or Bengals...I'm blowing up TT's private phone.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:15 pm
I'll be right there with you!
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:15 pm
Bills I think go defense front 7
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:17 pm
Lawson is off
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:16 pm
Noooooooooooo! *fights the air....drops to knees*
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:17 pm
It's ok, lots of talent left.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:19 pm
Not like that though. That size. Maybe Kevin Dodd. But that's later 2nd round (probably)
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:18 pm
That might work in our favor though. Another QB is still available
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:19 pm
Jets go QB here?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:20 pm
WR?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:21 pm
They have a good WR combo, but Marshall is getting up there.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:20 pm
All I know is that
A. Someone we never expected would be available will be there.
B. ESPN will go to commercial right as our pick comes in.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:21 pm
I will slam my laptop closed if B happens.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:22 pm
It ALWAYS happens.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:23 pm
Is that Lynch?!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:23 pm
I am refreshing THE HELL out of my FireFox browser on my phone lol
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:25 pm
Noooooooooooooooooo not Leeeeeee!!!!!!!!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:25 pm
Yes! Yes! Yes! Whew! Thank you!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:25 pm
I liked Lee.
Jack is gonna be there at 27. Shit.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:27 pm
Do U take him?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:28 pm
I do. Yea.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:28 pm
Lol I don't know why I'm laughing so hard at this. i thought we all liked Jack?
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:28 pm
I'm confused on why everyone wants Jack now? He was my favorite player pre injury ...but now I don't want him at all.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:30 pm
I thought he was Top 3.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:26 pm
Well not QB but a player I'm ok with not seeing at GB
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:27 pm
Vikes go WR? Docson? Maybe Jack to replace Greenway.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:29 pm
They better go Offense if they want to stay in the race with us. They're only weak on Offense.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:30 pm
I think they go WR. Either Doctson or Treadwill should be there.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:29 pm
Run of WRs should start I'm thinking
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:30 pm
Spence or Butler!
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:32 pm
U know what's good about a wr with bad hands ?......nothing.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:33 pm
As long as he is fast though...
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:32 pm
Run on WRs has started.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:35 pm
2nd DT coming up? If not, I think it should increase the odds of a trade back
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 09:37 pm
probably right but jack is a top-10 talent and a 3 down guy. Hard to pass that up.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:38 pm
He's exactly what the Packers need and an elite talent. At 27 the reward outweighs the risk.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:43 pm
But if that surgery claim is true and he won't be available this season - is it worth it?
What happened to that "1st rounders shouldn't be benched"
There are players still available that could start for us at 2 positions if we decided to trade back.
Man, I'd hate to be a GM right about now.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:38 pm
I heard earlier today that the Browns were looking to trade back and trade back into the first round for a QB. The first part was true. Maybe the 2nd part will be too?
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:35 pm
Billings Butler Ragland Dotson Spence Nkimdeche Treadwell ...sooooo many ballers left!

I'm guessing Redskins go with DL here.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:37 pm
DB
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Ha.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Lol we were both so close!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:40 pm
Stop peeking at people's Mock draft lol. Lesson learned.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:37 pm
It's crazy the amount of players many of us thought wouldn't be near the Pack's pick.
Who was that who told me the Pack wouldn't even sniff Myles Jack?
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:38 pm
Very crazy!!!
tm_inter
April 28, 2016 at 09:46 pm
Myles Jack needs knee surgery soon.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:50 pm
He might, years down the road.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:38 pm
Myles Jack could be our Defensive Aaron Rodgers???
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Yep
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:42 pm
Could be!!
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Another WR!!!!!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Woah! Didn't see that coming from Washington. Yep, we're trading back...
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:39 pm
Keep Doctson away from Minny. Love it.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:40 pm
Vikings go with Treadwill I bet.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:47 pm
Yep
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:41 pm
Getting closer.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:41 pm
Cincy and Pitt are threats for Jack.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:44 pm
One would think there's no way Jack gets past Pittsburgh, but tonight? Who knows?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:45 pm
Them bastards have been getting players I would love the Pack to get these last couple of drafts.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:45 pm
Ha. Yep. Always a couple picks ahead.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:52 pm
Is Shazier really as good as we thought he was going to be?
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:54 pm
Jury is still out. Battled injuries, yea? Which was a concern because of his size.
Mojo
April 28, 2016 at 09:43 pm
Tons of top D -talent left.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:46 pm
The way the board is sitting, I can see the Packers trading back. Either to 31 or 32. I wouldn't be shocked if either Denver or Browns go for a QB.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:47 pm
Absolutely. We have the Jets to thank for that.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:50 pm
I think either team could be looking for a QB. I think Browns move up to get ahead of Denver
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:46 pm
Yep. Packers are 1A and the Vikings are 1B.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:47 pm
Bridgewater?
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:47 pm
Please god Cinci or Pitt take Jack I do not want a busted LB.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:48 pm
Slow, sloppy routes and suspect hands. Good job, Vikes.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:49 pm
Run down on players available.
Both DL Reed and Robinson.
ILB Ragland, Jack.
Not including other good players.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:52 pm
Billings n Spence dude.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:53 pm
Broncos, Seahawks, Panthers, Cardinals shouldn't be targeting the D Line. This is getting Goooooood
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:50 pm
I'm beginning to get anxious.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:51 pm
Beginning?! I've had a knot in my chest for like 2 hours now.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:53 pm
Soon, very soon
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:51 pm

April 28, 2016 at 09:55 pm
Steelers or Seahawks are going too ruin my night!

April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
Agree, the Seahawks are going to do something to piss me off
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:55 pm
Packers guaranteed a chance to get Reed, Robinson, Jack, Ragland. All 4 most projected ahead of GB
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Steelers didn't take long, I bet they get Jack.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Never mind
4EVER
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Yes.....
Evan

Who?!?
It's happening!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Seattle has to go OL.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Who? Ok, thanks, Pittsburgh. They're making up for those steals in previous drafts.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:56 pm
Wow! Artie Burns!?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:57 pm
Damn it! Seahawks stole our trade opportunity! Fawk!
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 09:57 pm
Broncos going QB!
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
We called it with the trade
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
Wonder what they got.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:57 pm
There is the trade. Damn
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:57 pm
Broncos move for a Qb. Dammit.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
Means Packers have a lot of good players.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:59 pm
Yea. I meant dammit the packers didn't make the trade.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:00 pm
Could still happen.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:00 pm
Does 1 more team trade up for another QB? 4-5 possible QBs could go in the first.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
Don't fn trade out GB I stayed up past my bedtime! !
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 09:58 pm
Ditto. Lol
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:00 pm
Lol, so selfish!!!

April 28, 2016 at 09:59 pm
Denver trade with Seattle! Wonder if TT turned them down?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 09:59 pm
The Cowboys might be the sexier trading partner. That would give us the #34?
Mojo
April 28, 2016 at 10:00 pm
Artie Burns?
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 10:00 pm
So who does TT like best: Jack, Robinson or Ragland? Sweet.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 10:01 pm
Yeahhh boo us loser bears! !! Lol that's awesome.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:01 pm
Myles Jack...Von Miller is gone
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:03 pm
Punk'd!
tm_inter
April 28, 2016 at 10:01 pm
Looks like the Packers are not trading back.
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:03 pm
It's time
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:03 pm
Great Job NFL with that make a wish!

Make a wish took me n my family to gbay to meet Favre for my brothers make a wish. Most amazing experience of his life. It's an amazing foundation.

Well..well...well
We have everyone mocked to us available...lol
RCPackerFan

On the Clock!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 10:05 pm
No 6'7" QB has ever been successful. Nor has any QB with a pirate goatee.
Mojo
April 28, 2016 at 10:05 pm
Ragland has med concerns - I'm guessing Billings or Butler
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:06 pm
Annnnd...commercial
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:07 pm
Every time Packers draft there is a commercial.. Every time...
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:06 pm
The biggest question is about Myles Jack.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 10:07 pm
Commmmmmercial lol
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 10:08 pm
I'm guessing Ragland. ..
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:08 pm
A trade back makes too much sense. I don't think anyone TT targeted in the first is on any teams left in the first round vision right now
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 10:09 pm
Jack has the coverage skills. Knee should be o.k. If not this year he'll be a stud in the future. Or go Robinson. Ragland feels like Hawk to me.
Mojo
April 28, 2016 at 10:09 pm
Here we go
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:09 pm
Pick is in!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:10 pm
That close up of Myles Jack just hit me. That has to hurt.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:11 pm
The guy I said!!!!
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 10:11 pm
Damn. McGinn nailed it. Over Reed?
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 10:11 pm
Meh.

I really like it.

I'm done
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:12 pm
Oh shit. I don't feel anything. I really wanted a trade back.

Watch his tape over the center. Very strong.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:15 pm
I'm not trying to hear that right now lol. I'll brag on him some time tomorrow *sigh*
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:21 pm
Lol.
jh9
April 28, 2016 at 10:13 pm
A safe pick.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 10:13 pm
Solid but not sexy. That's Ted. Ha. Good night! Maybe Jack will fall to them in the 2nd.
EdsLaces
April 28, 2016 at 10:17 pm
I'm staying up till the end u can too!
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:30 pm
DL usually aren't to sexy.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:46 pm
Why? 'Cause they're fat?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:13 pm
I like him, but i dont think any team after us in the first will target a DT. I know it tmakes 2 to tango, but ahhh...
But...
But...
But...
Mojo
April 28, 2016 at 10:15 pm
Clark - could have got him later if they traded back a few
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:17 pm
I'm going to have to assume TT was asking for too much. The damn 49ers just traded back into the 1st.
Evan
April 28, 2016 at 10:16 pm
Teams ahead and after Pack trade back. Ted must have really liked Clark.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:19 pm
If another DT doesn't go in the 1st I'm going to send Ted a not so pleasant text
WKUPackFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:27 pm
I agree. Seems this was the guy all along.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:34 pm
Thompson really likes UCLA guys.

April 28, 2016 at 10:16 pm
I'm pissed, that was a huge reach
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:22 pm
Don't be pissed. I mean, it isn't a Richard Rodgers or Khri Thorton type of reach. Clark is a damn good player. I feel the board fell so perfect for a trade back.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:23 pm
Disagree. Pete Prisco had him going to the Packers in the first round today in his final Mock.
MarkinMadison
April 28, 2016 at 10:19 pm
Safe pick. I felt like Jack and Robinson had athleticism that doesn't usually fall down to the Packers at the end of the first. Oh well.
He's a nice pick. I love the wrestling background. Can play nose or DE. Not a bad pick.
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:25 pm
You're lucky, Ted. Lucky...
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:29 pm
I think Packers will have some really good players to choose from tomorrow
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:30 pm
Hope it's a pass rusher.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:31 pm
ILB or pass rusher!
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:35 pm
What other ILBs are out there? I don't think Deion Jones makes it to us after that 40 he ran.
RCPackerFan
April 28, 2016 at 10:42 pm
Well u know the one guy I like. ;-)
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:45 pm
Jatavis Brown? Forgot about him. Ted likes small school guys. But the 2nd round, though?
RobinsonDavis
April 28, 2016 at 11:12 pm
Yeah, I am counting no less than 10 players that were projected potential 1st round by some, sinking to the 2nd round. Will Ted now trade-up? 3rd and 4th round picks for another 2nd? Seems we missed a chance to move back, but who knows?
DrealynWilliams
April 28, 2016 at 10:34 pm
Ok, Ted knows what he's doing. I'm going to bed happy.

Sadly, TT isn't devious enough.

April 28, 2016 at 11:01 pm
A NT - 33' arms - that stands people up, with great push but doesn't demand a double team in the round 1?
John Galt III
April 28, 2016 at 11:18 pm
TT picking DL's and DE's in his 10 or so years has been ok to awful - hope this guy breaks the mold.
