The Green Bay Packers picked Clay Matthews in the 1st round with the 26th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

We got K. Benjamin with the 28th pick. #2014Draft

So, us having the 25th pick in RD1 this year is totally doable for more Gettleman Magic. I'll take a pass rusher or WR, and raise you a (Hog-Molly) in RD1?? #2015Draft

Here's a short list of previous #25 picks

 

2014-San Diego- Jason Verrett CB

2013- Minnesota - Xavier Rhodes CB

2012- New England- Dont'a Hightower OLB

2011- Seattle- James Carpenter T 

2010- Denver- The Golden Calf of Bristol QB

2009- Miami- Vontae Davis CB

2008- Dallas- Mike Jenkins CB

2007- Carolina- Jon Beason MLB

2006- Pittsburgh- Santonio Holmes WR

2005- Washington- Jason Campbell QB

2004- Green Bay- Ahmad Caroll CB

2003- New York Giants- William Joseph DT

2002- New Orleans- Charles Grant DE

2001- Philadelphia- Freddie Mitchell WR

2000- Minnesota- Chris Hovan DT

 

 

History says that CBs are likely taken at this pick, especially in recent years.

 

Furthermore, around 25 is when teams start to see players falling (particularly QBs) and trade up to get them. Gettleman has basically, not so subtly, called out the Patriots for constantly trading down but that seems like a real possibility with where we sit. 

 

History also says that with this pick we are likely to get a solid starter but not a superstar.

Yea really high on corners at that pick.  Who knows what direction we'll go, but I'm thinking it has to be O-Line, Corner, or WR.  I think we'll sign a veteran LT in free agency and draft a LT in the later rounds to develop.  Bell can stay as the backup RT.

Yes I totally agree! That is a pretty darn good list of 25s in RD1. However, we could trade back but I doubt it, going BPA.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
