The NFL Draft is just a day away. After a disappointing 2017 season, the Green Bay Packers find themselves in a rare position, holding their highest overall pick since 2009. Green Bay is slated to pick 14th tomorrow, which would be their only top-20 selection since taking B.J. Raji ninth nine years ago. The Packers…
Two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to make an accurate prediction. The Packers re-signed Letroy Guion and BJ Raji on Monday. These signings might have only made the defensive line more interesting as far as the draft is concerned. Ted Thompson eliminated the defensive line as a “need” pick. The defensive line is going to be fine so…
As the NFL Draft approaches it appears that the Green Bay Packers will bring in no reinforcements at inside linebacker before that date comes. Unless UCLA linebacker Eric Kendricks drops to pick No.30 — which I don’t see happening — the Packers are unlikely to get a reinforcement in the first round of the draft…

Hawk was finally released, which leaves the Packers extremely thin at the position with Sam Barrington being the only one who you could see starting. That assumes of course Clay Matthews moves back to the edge. After releasing…
The tweet of the combine for me came from @RumfordJohnny. “Paul Dawson running like he hates money.” He wasn’t kidding either. Dawson’s performance was abysmal. A prototypical off-the-ball linebacker would stand about 6 feet tall, weigh about 240 pounds, run a 40 yard dash in 4.7 seconds or less and a vertical leap of at…
One thing that has been consistent during the Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson era has been an unwillingness to adjust during seasons, and it has burned them before. So, it’s very unlikely that they will do anything drastic that I’m suggesting, but that doesn’t mean staying the course is the correct decision. Yes, it is…
Aaron Rodgers could not have said it any better when he described the Green Bay Packers’ 21-7 win over the St. Louis Rams yesterday. “We scored and we stayed healthy,” Rodgers said. ““That’s kind of a perfect preseason game.” Rodgers was almost perfect, as he completed 11-of-13 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown. He…
