| Re: With the NFL Draft just a few weeks away... The quarterback situation this year is the most interesting it's been since I started watching the draft. At the top, you've got Matt Ryan, who could logically go anywhere between 1 and 17, but it doesn't get really interesting until you try to sort out who teams have ranked #2, and where that guy will go. I've seen some mocks give Brohm to the Bears or Vikings at 14 and 17 respectively, but I'd expect he'll fall further than that, possibly out of the first round, and possibly behind Flacco and Chad Henne (that's right, Henne's a late-1st-rounder on some boards). If one or more teams in the top 5 pass on Ryan, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see those teams trying to trade back up into the late stages of the 1st to get their quarterback. And none of that's even accounting for intriguing prospects like Josh Johnson, Andre Woodson, Kevin O'Connell, etc.
As for the Packers, I really think they're in position to simply take the best player available. There are no glaring needs on offense or defense, though if it would be nice if the BPA was an OT, OG or CB. I was really into OG/OT Branden Albert for a while, but he's flown up the boards in recent weeks, way out of GB's reach. |
