I like Britton and with an aging LT and a RT, who perhaps, perhaps not will be back, he represents both value and need.

And please TT: No wr. I know you pick them. I gladly admit you’re good at it. But I think we have enough for now.

Obviously if we address OLB in the first round with Everette, our next concern has to be OT, making Briton the standard selection in this position. But Michael Johnson is too much of an athletic freak to pass up. His size and speed off the edge could translate into a nightmare of a pass-rusher in our 3-4. And as the Giants showed us, you can never have too many pass rushers on your team. Having both Brown and Johnson at our disposal on third and long would be an exciting prospect.

I have a hard time imagining that either Britton or Johnson still on the board by the time the Pack are picking in round 2. Both are first rounders in most mocks I’ve seen, and I think if you were to go back over the last several drafts and compare where people were predicted to go (versus where they actually did go), in general I have the sense that linemen (both O and D) tend to go higher than expected, while QB’s and WR’s often fall more than expected.

Britt, Chung, and (perhaps) Pettigrew are a lot more likely to actually be there. Even Pettigrew I’m doubtful about, as he is basically the consensus best TE in the draft so I’m not convinced we’ll go 40 picks without anyone wanting a TE. Hard to say for sure though.

I just looked at the draft over there and Britton, Pettigrew, and Britt are already gone in the first-round. Johnson still appears to be available. But as Packers6712 said, I like the idea of adding a mammoth like Ron Brace to the interior of the D-line. Either that or an OT.

Ya I don’t know about the availibiltiy of all these guys, but there are a few that are intriguing. I would be more than happy with, Britton, Pettigrew, or Johnson. We need O-lineman so Britton would be an obvious pick. Pettigrew would be a tremendous pick. He was projected top 10 but it sounds like his injury has dropped him quite a bit. I think we need a good TE, and i think he could turn into a Gates, Witten, etc. Look at the Boys’ in 07’. Their O was virtually unstoppable with TO & Witten, and i think Jennings & Pettigrew could be similar to those two. I think Johnson is the one i would most want to see us get. 6’ 7" 266 lb. sounds impossible to pass up. ( Assuming he has the speed and pass rush ability to go along w/ his size). Thought i like the sounds of Pettigrew, we need help on our defense the most so i hope that’s where TT will concentrate the most, or at least for the first couple rounds.

There are alot of possibilities… Britton is one of them, Brace would have obvious value as we need another NT. DE is needed as well so J. Gilbert might be the pick.

First day I would go D in 1st and 2nd!! Rush OLB, NT and DE should be the picks almost no matter what. We do need an OT, but lets get the D some fire power above all else!!

Micheal Johnson in the 2nd Round, the best available OT in the 1st Round. I like WR Ramses Barden from Cal-Poly in the late rounds as he would be an excellent replacement for WR Ruvell Martin as Barden is 6’6 in height and has average speed.

But I’d have rather drafted Oher in the first.

The pick will be up, with comments from me and Dan, over at Mocking The Draft in a couple days, but our 3rd choice, Pettigrew, was the pick. Britton was taken shortly after I wrote this post, and Johnson was taken one pick ahead by Oakland.

yeah, there is no way Green Bay is drafting a TE. GB just resigned 3rd string Humphrey. Donald Lee is our starter, and Jermicheal Finley who emerged at the end of last season is only 21 years old! Finley is our project player at this position. he has shown huge potential. when he was drafted in the 4th Round last year, the analysists said if he would have stayed in college 2-3 more seasons, he would be the best TE in the draft when he comes out. instead, he entered the draft early, so he’s our project player. i give it a 1% chance Green Bay drafts a TE.
