We're not going to draft Murray in the first.

I don't even think Murray will be the 2nd off ball LB taken

Who would you be hoping for here? 

Josh Jones and Ross Blacklock are realistic targets for Green Bay.  In this situation, unless they're in love with Austin Jackson, they'd be working hard to trade back I think.  It's just not in the rules of this game.

Scoring very tight right now

Kenneth Murray - 74
Austin Jackson - 69
Denzel Mims - 72

Please not Austin Jackson.

Everyone has written off Wagner's contract as a 1 year 7 mil deal and we are going to cut him the 2nd year to save 4 mil but I don't think that is a foregone conclusion. We have more holes than we can fill in the draft and aren't visiting with OTs. I'd understand taking an OT if there is value there but Austin Jackson is not that guy.

Reagor or Mims would be my bets if the Packers trade down. No one to account for besides Adams. Skill positions look mediocre, unless Sternberger turns into something (and he very well might).

I went Reagor because it would be fun to watch. But Mims would be a very good fit with Rodgers and back shoulder throws.

Wasn't counting Jones. Normally I don't consider RB a skill position player. Jones and Adams were driving that offense. They need some help.

Don't remind me of that game.

Austin Jackson    -    69

Breaking a couple decades of history here.  Since 2002, the Packers haven't taken a WR in the first round when they took Javon Walker.  And the only non-premium position the Packers have taken in the first round since 2005 was when they selected AJ Hawk.  Going back to 2005, the Packers have only selected ONE WR who was shorter than 5'11", and that was when they selected Randall Cobb 64th overall back in 2011.

I'm not sure there's a huge difference between "moving back from 30 to 36 and taking Jordy Nelson" and "Just taking the WR at 30".

Too lazy to look it up, but I believe that the Packers have only traded back from their original pick twice since 2005.

Like out of the first round?  That was Jordy and Kevin King, IIRC.  But "down"?  That happened in 2010 in the Jaire draft.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking fo the Jaire trade down.  But honestly, I think that was kind of a weird situation.  Didn't Gute say something along the lines that if they weren't able to get a FRP out of the Saints, they weren't wiling to trade down?
