Nailed both, but you know what they say about blind pigs and acorns.

I'm coming around to the idea of Brown. He's shown he can play in a conference which asks and he's had some longevity.

Booted... I was one of those who emailed Al in a panic. I was like, okay I drop a swear word every once in a while but ONLY when I'm REALLY trying to make a point. Kind of like when I use CAPS but far, far less often. I know one thing, I didn't like it!

OJB... SIGH...Who cares? No offense to any one who wanted him but he just strikes me as a dude who could NEVER appreciate Green Bay for what it is. I mean common, our Stadium is in the middle of residential neighborhoods! Who gives a damn about night life when your surrounded buy a town and fans who TRUELY love you! OJB could NEVER get the awesomeness in that.

Sydney Brown... I love Brown. Matter of fact, I've drafted him in just about every mock draft I've done in the 3rd round. The kid hits like a truck for his size and can play multiple spots. Hopefully if he's there in the 3rd Gute drafts him but at 5' 10" I wonder if he's on Gutes board.

CHTV Draft Guide... I'm STILL going through it. I've gotten it every year and one of the things I like the most is when the draft happens I can go back and take a look at what the draft guide had to say about a particular player. It's a lot of fun reading and money well spent. Don't start the draft without it!!!

Booted. (Raises hand) Booted was my first thought for a brief moment.

Then I thought, “No way! I’ve been really good lately!”

OBWho?

Safety Crush: Sydney Brown. He’s one in my handful of Safeties I’d like Gutekunst to take. For sure. I want 2 from this grouping:

Brian Branch - complete & wouldn’t argue
JL Skinner - size/speed with all the goods
Jammie Robinson - do it all running mate
Sydney Brown - legit despite size
Quindell Johnson - late pick mondo upside

Team player, Aaron Jones has always been such. I'm still buzzing over Love inviting he and the WRs to California for private workouts. That's respect shown to a team player & team leader. I think we'll see a lot of "feel good" stuff this year that will bring this team together more than we've seen in years. Common sense football stuff that works.

That's what I'm expecting to see, and it certainly will be welcome again in Green Bay.

CHTV Draft Guide: Support CHTV and enjoy their best work. This year's guide is tops.

I suck at trivia.

(Just curious, Nick. How many times did you email Al? I stopped at about 4)

I was booted too. At the time I figured it was for good reason because I am a stay at home mom making $80, 000 a year and I wanted to share my story. ;-)

Thanks for NOT booting me Al!

I still blame nagler. GG - Lately being the key word...

OBJ - No F'n Way! Then or now or later.

A Safety is an absolute MUST! If one of the twins is that guy, Im down wit dat.

Aaron Jones is perhaps the absolute best human being on the Packers since Bart Starr. Really.

I nailed the trivia without scrolling or googling. It's just that way!

Is it weird to say I would NOT be surprised if GB picks 0 safeties and 0 tight ends?

Booted - Just a delayed April fools joke.
But the more Murphy talks about the Rodgers
proposed trade. The more I have lock jaw.
Seems; he No longer wants to comment.
Maybe that should have been his answer
when the Do you think we're idiots came up.

And as much as I think OBJ is close to retirement.
Why is BAHK now considering retirement- soon?
Wouldn't it be interesting; that Bahk gets to
Retire a Packer. But we have to Trade Rodgers.

So you've now switched from Branch to S. Brown?
IMO - The higher the safety pick. The bigger the failure.
I'll take Robinson.

Love that we have a Team player.
But I still wouldn't back off from B. Robinson.

Re: Craig Carton's comments on the Packer - Jets trade where Carton alleged Murphy is the holdup on the trade because he wants more than the Jets are offering.

A Wisconsin State Journal reporter asked Murphy about the Carton allegation yesterday. Murphy ducked the question, only saying he was actively involved in the negotiations and then walked away, denying the reporter any follow-up opportunities. The fact that he didn't deny the allegation gives some credence to Carton's comments. Doesn't confirm Carton's allegation, but Murphy certainly didn't take the opportunity to quash it either.

Murphy screwed up the Denver deal last year, I sure hope he doesn't screw up the Jets deal this year.

Booted? -
Shit happens. No worries!

You don't say. OBJ -
I do wonder how it would have went 2 years ago if OBJ came to GB instead of LA. Would we have went to the Super Bowl instead of LA?

Whoops! - (not cheating, just answering who I think is crorrect)
3. B. Randy Duncan
4. A. Jim and Jimmy Haslam

Safety Crush -
While this isn't an overly strong S group this year. There are some guys they can get that would be upgrades. Brown is one I think would be.

Team Player -
Jones is smart. Too many players think they are worth more and often end up making less. I believe Jones would have been the same way. Had he decided that he wanted more $ and whatnot, he would have likely made a lot less. Also great having him on the team. He is a true leader and someone younger guys can look up to.

Trivia answers:

3. B Randy Duncan
4. A Jim and Jimmy Haslam

How did you do?
Surprisingly I got them both right. I actually knew the Duncan one. The Haslam I purely used an educated guess lol.

Well, I went 1:1 in short trivia. But, pure luck. As I'm probably one with the shortest history being Packers fan among posters, it is good result, IMHO.

As many here I was searching through my posts trying to find out why CHTV booted me and when I didn't found any specificaly I sent e-mail. Only one.

OBJ is another primadona (diva) and, especially in this moment Packers do not need him. Just trying to get trade for the one, would be stupid to bring back another. I admit that OBJ belongs among top quality WR, but I also believe that team chemistry is much more important in securing wins than having another excellent Diva player on board.

Regarding safety issue, I believe Packers will take one, but not in the first 2 rounds. They have few above average safeties on the team, so I do not think using high draft pick on 1 or 2 safeties would be smart. I'm all on securing above average DL and/or OLB. Also, I'm intriguing with Austin Allen, TE, who was brought at the end of the season to Packers. Also, from small sample we saw Joshiah Deguara it looks like he should be pleasent surprise for many fans this season. I expect Packers to draft 1 TE, but not in the 1st round.

Regarding Aaron Jones, what to say more or anything else others didn't say. I agree.

As I already posted, I bought Draft guide and I still did not able to look at it. Had some rush business time. But I will, for sure.

I was searching at the time some Packers pages and CHTV is the one I picked as I found really good articles, analyses and stuff I was able to learn a lot about football. My opinion didn't change despite I look from tome to time to other pages and found that CHTV is in my favour by a lot.

Keep doing what you do. You are and will be the best source for Packers stuff no question about it.

And, not less important you collected really insightful and knowledgeable Packers fans compared to other pages.

Excellent work, Al, Aaron & company!

Buying the draft guide for the 1st time! So glad I found this site last year!

I was *so* pissed when the Packers drafted Randy Duncan in the first round in 1959. Quit listening to the radio for almost two months. That pick yanked the rug right out from under Joe Francis and Lamar McHan.

Booted? I was. I sent 3 emails and finally received a one time log in with no explanation...just a link that still locked me out. Luckily, I tried again, and finally was able to change change password and log on.

If CHTV appreciates suggestions from its customers, here's one: Next time when you have system issues at least respond to the sender. A simple: "We received your email and CHTV is having a log on issue. We are working to resolve it. We appreciate your patience and please know this is our issue, not yours."

And Al, having upset customers is never "cool". During the "lockout" I spent more time on AcmePackingCo...and actually enjoyed it.

But thanks for mentioning the issue.

Sydney Brown has an identicle twin. His name his Chase Brown and he is the running back for U of I and one hell of a player just like his brother. Theyre virtually the same player but on different sides of the ball. Same size, same speed, same difference making abilities. Draft them both. Ive been spamming both of them in virtually every mock draft i do. Would be a perfect replacement for Aaron Jones a year from now. Brown has an eerily similar playstyle to Jones too.

I remember Randy Duncan who went to Canada instead of the NFL like Bruce Clark did years later because he told Bart Starr he would not play nose tackle and Starr insisted that was his position. Interesting that in the backfield at Iowa with Duncan was a running back named Bob Jeter who Packer fans will remember and another named Willie Fleming and both also went to Canada. Jeter played 2 seasons then came back to the Packers as a defensive back. Fleming was a star running back in the CFL for several seasons. Duncan washed out in the CFL then spent a year in the AFL as as a backup QB with the Dallas Texans in 1961. That was quite an Iowa backfield that won the Rose Bowl.

Safety prospects: Both Brown and his teammate J. Martin are solid run defenders and good tacklers. Martin is more of the hybrid/nickel type. Brown is better suited to deep and is better in zone than man, so that may be of interest to the Packers....The thing about Brown is that he really only excelled in his fifth year; before that, not so much. But in that fifth year, the QB rating against him was only 47, which is pretty damn impressive.

I want Branch AND Banks! Is that too much to ask for?
What would it take to make it happen?

well now it looks like the first round pick will be used for an offensive tackle.

LTR, FTP. Re trading AR. BG is holding firm because he was taken to the cleaners trading Davante. He can't let that happen again. Also, big obstacle to trade is AR's contract, that BG is responsible for. A lot on the line for BG.
As far as getting out of cap hell, what would cap look like next couple of years if Gary was traded instead of extended? Asking for a friend.
I have enjoyed Jersey Al and his followers insight and passion for years. Looking forward to many more. Thanks, Okiepacman

"I didn’t want to be greedy. I’m a team player.”

I took it as a dig at AR even though it most likely wasn't.

I really like Brown in the 3rd round. I think the only way they take a Safety in the 1st 2 rounds is if Branch falls to them in the 2nd. If Brown is selected before they pick in the 3rd, then Robinson will be the choice.

"I didn't want to be greedy. I'm a team player" I've always loved Aaron Jones, but it's really refreshing for someone to state the obvious...How can a team thrive when all of it's money is tied up in 1 or 2 players? I understand that some positions are more critical than others, but no one player can win all by themselves... Kudos to Aaron. I'm not sure there was any dig in there for anyone, but if so, he was sure a class act in how he stated it!

Is it wrong to hope they pick Jammie at S just because of the whimsical nature of his name?
