We should keep all three; CM3, Cobb, Nelson.
Give ARod 35M deal.
Get one 5M FA. Whoa!

That’s it. What a change!

I'd like to see what Wilkerson can do with Pettine again, but no more than a 2 year deal with an easy get out after year 1. If he's not too pricey he's the perfect kind of free agent gamble IMO. Biggest need on this team is defensive depth, so free agent vets are must.

I'd love to see GB go get Kap, he's a talented player and his political activism should be seen as admirable, not questionable. Could solve the back up QB issue.

Draft best defensive player available at 14 - or trade down a little as a ton of talent is likely to fall. (love to get the bills 2 1st rounders and get two studs)

Turn those 12 picks into 8-9 better value selections.

This is going to be a really interesting Draft and FA period. Assuming the Broncos and Jets don't sign Kurt Cousins there would probably be 4 QB's taken before the Packers pick at #14. IF that holds true like many expect and you throw in Barkley, a O-Linemen or two and maybe a WR all being drafted BEFORE the Packers pick at 14 they suddenly have a chance at a Top 5 Defensive player.

The Packers could almost guarantee themselves a chance at a players like Josh Jackson, Davenport, Roquan Smith, Trumaine Edmunds, Vita Vea, or Denzel Ward for example just to name a few. The Packers could take the best player available and probably have a 99% chance on hitting a pretty big need. Hell after last season I'm not opposed to taking one of the O-Linemen projected to go in the top 10 if they slipped. Rodgers NEEDS to stay upright and healthy for the Packers to have any success.

These next 7 days are when we'll see what the Packers plans are for Nelson and Cobb. If they plain on extending either of them or asking them to take a pay cut this is when it will happen. I'd also say if the Packers are really going to be players in FA, then those 2 contracts have to be redone IMO.

The exciting part right now is that we have no idea what will happen this offseason. There is no track record to go off of with Gutekunst as a GM.

Under Thompson we pretty much knew what to expect. He avoided Free Agency like it was the plague most years even though he really did have success with it.

Also during the draft he became pretty predictable. He liked his Pac 12 players. He loved drafting OL in the 4th-5th rounds.

Right now we have no clue what Gutekunst will do. That is why this offseason is exciting. We might actually be players in free agency again. And as far as the draft goes, we have no clue what to expect making the draft more exciting then it already is.

Being this is his first at bat, I believe Gute will play it safe on his first pick and take the best DB available, should be a strong pick as there is a lot of DB talent around #14
(he doesn't want to blow his first pick ever)

Then I'm sure he will settle in and use a bit of that draft capital to move up in the second or third rounds and take Best Players available after that.

After all, he learned under Thompson.

I also think they will keep Cobb, Nelson and Mathews with a bit of re-structuring.

Rodgers of course will get a ship-load of $$$

I expect one impact free-agent that can be a Defensive difference maker.

And a few minor cap casualty free-agents also a Ted Thompson strategy that has for the most part been a good model for the Packers and their compensatory choices.

Over-all not crazy exciting, however I believe the Packers will have a ship-load of cap room in the 2019 off-season and that is when Thompson most likely will depart for good and Gute can get his GM on.

The FA season tell what the Packers are going to do with Cobb, Nelson and Matthews. If the Packers make their usual week two forays, we'll know the $36M these guys are in line to make next season is a lock.

More important is coming out of this draft with something more than dribble singles followed up with double play outs.

The amount of early round draft capital the Packers have pissed away on the defensive side of the ball over the last several seasons has to be overcome, or this team is going to continue the steady bleeding we saw last season without The Great Band Aid covering the wound.

I think there will be three to four players signed during the FA period. Two on offense and two on defense. I think a back-up QB will be inked and I would pick RGII. The second offensive guy selected is a TE and my speculation is ASJ from the Jets. On the defense, Wilkerson and/or Trent Murphy , TJ Carrie would be logical.

Now I have no idea if any of this would happen. TE needs experienced bodies and a back-up QB that can throw a TD at home is a must as well. I could see another pass catcher like John Brown as long as he can play ST. A CB and either pass rusher/DE that can add disruption to the opponenet's passing game may be considered. Since you can't get too many starters from the draft that are reliable TEs or pass rushers, you may need some starters from FA.

As they say....we will see how Gutsey plays it.

The guys in charge are all Ted-trained. I’m not expecting any big change in the way they do business.

We know what the team needs. CB, Pass Rusher, TE, Speed WR, OL and DL depth, another starting caliber ILB and a backup QB who can play.

For me the question is will Gute make the moves required to fill these holes in 2018 or will he let some of them go on for years like TT did with TE, ILB and many other positions.

Our best chance for an SB is a healthy Aaron Rodgers and a complete team around him for once. How Gute handles filling the many holes in our roster will tell us if the new regime has a sense of urgency about winning and if we will see real change in how the roster is built going forward. Thanks, Since '61

I don't agree we are in full rebuild, o line is solid, need a RT, RB solid, WR are aging but productive, need one piece at WR in draft or FA, need to revamp TE with a pick and FA, defensive front is young and one of the strongest position groups, need an outside rusher, and another corner. The cubard is not bare. A player or 2 in FA a solid draft, year 2 jump from Biegel, Adams King, Jones, Jones, and Williams. Oh yeah and the QB isn't too bad either.

This is one of those years where sticking with true BPA is likely to give us great prospects at positions of need. As others have said, if there's a run on QB's at the top of Rd 1, which seems likely, then we could be looking at some serious Defensive talent available. Gotta think Gute will have 2-3 guys he loves at #14 that could come in and be immediate contributors.

Also, I'd love to see Lamar Jackson and Shaquem Griffin in Green Bay. Two great stories and players that have the chance to be something special given the right opportunity.

Josh Jackson looks terrible in drills.

Ridley, Sutton, Lamar, Landry, Payne, Vea, James, Davenport, Roquan...some of these might be available at 14.

I'm on Sutton as the best WR available. Would be ecstatic to get him...Quenton Nelson if he falls.

The defensive players in this draft are as meh as I've ever seen up high. Maybe, the AJ Hawk draft was lighter on top end talent. It's a shame.

Rumors of Vander Esch worry me. I can actually see this. FO thinking they've got an Urlacher clone.

Brian seems to like the measurables more than Ted. I just wonder if he'll pull the trigger on a 1st rounder with them, or will he go safe like Ted almost always did? Concerned we'll see the same old Packers when it comes to the draft. We really need to be different and fresh there. Is Brian really that different? Can't wait for us to be on the clock and see what is there. If we all can pretty much pick what we're going to do, then I fear we're the same as we ever were. I'm hoping this pick is a shock, not in the sense it's a reach, but it's just not typical.

Quentin Nelson would be worth moving up for. I think he goes in the top ten. I would love to have that kind of mean on the OL. Think what practice would look like with Nelson and Daniels going head to head on a regular basis.
