He might start the season on PUP list, right? Pipkins and Waters? eh. you can easily upgrade there. I guess you could do worse than Tramon Williams. I think he'd be at his best if he wasn't asked to be a starter, but that may be the case. Packers still need to draft a CB in round 1. I don't think they have much of a choice, even if they sign another Free Agent CB. Worst part is, Rollins and Randall looked good as rookies. So good that they let Casey Hayward leave. I would still argue that it was the right move given what we knew at the time, but that one really stings now. As for a round 1 CB, I don't know. The pass rush sure could use a shot in the arm. We won't get a combined 32 from Matthews and Perry, and their back-ups are Fackrell, Biegel, and UDFAs. If we could get Edmunds, Landry, or Davenport, we likely have to jump at that opportunity. Also, CWood, Kevin King is a second round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not get a corner in round 1 and an edge rusher round 2? I'm pretty sure the Packers have a lot of picks this year. Maybe they even move back up into round 1.

The prevailing thought is get a premier pass rusher early if you can because they are generally gone later in the draft and they do not enter free agency or command huge contracts. There is also very strong 2nd wave of corners in the late 1st early to mid 2nd that we should be able to pick from for either trade up target or draft at our current spot. Hughes, Davis, Both Jacksons, Oliver, and Alexander could all possibly slip to our 2nd round pick and I believe all have pretty similar grades. If the Packers really wanted one they also have enough trade bait to trade up and get their guy. I think the only real corner worth taking at 14 would be Ward and he will most likely be gone by our pick in the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't healthy leaving GB, I didn't follow him in CLE but he had a nagging shoulder that docs said would take years to heal, there was some nerve issues I remember. Could possibly have made a full recovery, I'm not sure. He was awesome for us prior to that injury. Always a super quick and instinctive player, looked that way in ARI from the cutups I saw.

It's not like there isn't going to be another vet and at least 1 day 1/2 pick there with him. Our GM is clearly rebuilding the secondary, Williams is just an easy add for depth.

You don't pass on Landry, Edmunds or Davenport for any CB not names Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Solid pick up. Probably could throw in another day 1 or 2 draft pick. Basically can be like the Vikings version of Terrence Newman. Not asked to play every down, but can be put in and be solid when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
