The NFL Draft should go back to April!!

So, what do we look at?  Today let's start with the present team,
as of April 29, 2014, 8:47 PM EST!

A review of the draft picks for Pack:
Round 1, #21 overall
Round 2, #53
Round 3, #85
Round 3, #98 (compensatory selection)
Round 4, #121
Round 5, #161
Round 5, #176 (compensatory selection)
Round 6, #197
Round 7, #236


Offense: 37 playes - 34 signed, 3 free agents.
Free Agents - QB Seneca Wallace, RB - Kahill Bell, TE - Jermichael Finley
Comments:  Seneca Wallace, leave him go.  Jermichael Finley, injury makes signing him a risk and
salary that he expects is way too much!  Would let him go.  Kahill Bell - let him try stay on the roster
at the minimum salary.

QB's - Aaron Rogers, Matt Flynn, & Scott Tolzien.  Rogers, don't ask.  Flynn, signed an great back-up.
Scott Tolzien, battle it out for the third spot with whoever comes to camp!

FB's - John Kuhn & Ina Liana.  Competition with 2 fullbacks, but Kuhn ONE MORE YEAR!
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn!!!!

RB's - James Starks, Eddie Lacy, DuJuan Harris, Jonathan Franklin, & Michael Hill.  WOW!  I like
what I see and I would not draft a running back!  Eddie Lacy was amazing in year one!  James Starks
stayed healthy and was a great at providing time for Lacy to rest, and giving quality time.  DuJuan Harris, injured early, was impressive last season!  And Jonathan Franklin, what a Bengals game! (And the Packer Buddies were there to se it!)  Franklin MUST secure the football!

WR's - Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Jarrett Boykin are secure & quality!  Nelson & Cobb are the play makers and Boykin could build upon last year!  I am anxious to see who wins the battle for the last one or two roster spots - Chris Harper, Kevin Dorsey, Myles White, & Alex Gillette.  I have a GUT feeling one of these guys is a "Donal Driver"!

TE - Wow!  Help!!  I think we have some "Blue collar" types in Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick, Jake Stoneburner, Ryan Taylor, & Ray Webber.  My diamond in the rough - Brandon Bostick!  But, we need help!  I would draft a TE with one of the first 4 picks!

OL - David Bakhtiari, Don Barclay, Bryan Bulaga, & Derrick Sherrod.  These four should make the offensive tackle position solid!  What a rookie year for Bakhtiari!  The other tackles, Aaron Adams & Jeremy Vujnovich, unknown!  TJ Lang & Josh Sitton are quality starters.  Lane Taylor & Andrew Tiller are unknown.  And center, we will miss Dietrich-Smith!  JC Tretter seems to be the from runner & Garth Gehart will be in the battle for playing time, with the other guards & tackles.

So, as we approach the draft, I think….
1 - One of the top four picks should be a TE.  Maybe a wide receiver & offensive lineman in the picks five to 7.  (Remember, we have to extra picks!)

Tomorrow, the defense.
