I GUARANTEE you guys that Allen Barbre would make an excellent Guard, just not an OT. Keep Lang at RT, draft a true franchise LT. Our OL would be set. We can get our OT in the 2nd Round.

That would be great. Rolle would be great value in the 2nd round as he would have been a top 15 pick in last years draft if not for taking a year off. He has the physical abilities but even more so he is smart! It seemed like Bigby was out of position so much this season, and I don’t think him being a “big hitter” is worth dealing with those mistakes. He would be an assignment sure guy, who can also provide a big play from time to time, which would compliment Collins great.

Trading fro Porter would be a great addition too. I don’t think we’ll see another OLB come in though. From all reports thus far it seems like TT and Kampman are both on the same page in thinking he’ll be back.

Yeah, Barnett will likely be better next year as I’ve heard it usually takes a year or two for your knee to heal fully from the kind of injury he had, and just growing more accustomed to our system will help him improve as well. Chillar is a solid guy, and could become better if he gets more playing time then he has had in the past.

I was calling for GB to draft O’Brien Schofield in the 3rd Round, but since he tore his ACL in the East-West Shrine Game, that makes me a little nervous. There aren’t any players in the draft other than him that I really feel would be a true primary pass rusher opposite Clay Matthews. We do need one, I’m just not sure if this draft offers it. I was all for Schofield until he tore his ACL, now I’m skeptical. I think our best option at this point is to resign Aaron Kampman to a short term deal, then if doesn’t pan out next year, we know who to target the next draft.

I liked the rumor in trading AJ Hawk to SD for CB Antonio Cromartie, that’d be an even trade and would greatly help our secondary. Chillar and Barnett should be our starters. No questions there.

The Packers are (or, at least, should be) finished with rebuilding mode. We are Super Bowl close, though not Super Bowl ready. Now is not the time to shun away from a trade or FA that can put us over the top. I think that TT is aware of that.

I would hope so too. You would think he has to be able to see it but who knows.

I disagree about us not needing a LT that bad though. We can bring Clifton back but what can we expect out of him? He is 33, struggled with injuries last year, and was pretty average at best even when he was healthy. The possibility of him going down with an injury next year seems pretty high and if that happens then what do we do? Turn to Colledge? Hell no. Lang? I assume that’s would what we’d do but Lang isn’t ever going to be a good LT in the NFL. His arms are just too short.

I don’t necessarily know if we need a starting Cb either. Woodson will be good next year, Harris will be coming back, and if he doesn’t work out we can always play Williams who is pretty good. What killed our pass defense was our nickel and dime backs. Hopefully Pat Lee can play one of those spots and I think Underwood could be a good dime back for us. I still think we should definitely take a few Cb’s in the draft but do so with the mentality that one of the guys we take will be able to contribute at the nickel or dime spot, and eventually be able to turn into a starter when Woodson and Harris are gone.

I really like Rolle at safety. The guy was a Rhodes Scholar so we know he is smart, plus he has the physical attributes to go with that. Like you said he would produce as a rookie and would likely be an improvement over Bigby. Where our pass defense really struggled was in the middle of the field. Bigby seemed to be out of place so many times this year and it seemed pretty apparent that he struggled in the zone coverages. I know a guy like Rolle could at least manage to be in the right place most of the time, and even if he isn’t able to make the big plays from there (which I think he could do) it would still be an improvement. I think he’ll drop to the 2nd round but we would probably have to trade up do so.

If we re-sign Kampman we know he’ll be able to help with the pass rush it’ll just be a matter of seeing how he improves or doesn’t improve in coverage. I don’t see how he couldn’t be better in coverage, seeing as how he seemed to be improving in only his 9th game playing OLB for the first time 8-9 years but who knows I guess.
