[QUOTE="DergaSmash, post: 306409, member: 2194"] I think picking for a specific position is not a good idea for the draft. Yet I do feel that an emphasis should be made on the most needed positions. For example, if Green Bay is on the clock and both Anthony Castonzo (OT, Boston College) and Bruce Carter (OLB, North Carolina) are available, I would hope they go with Carter. This example is purely hypothetical. Yet no one can dispute that the Packers could use quality help at both the offensive line and OLB/edge pass rush. I think the most sound strategy for the Packers would be to continue to take the best available player, but with strong emphasis on the positions that are the weakest. At this moment in the season, I don't think the Pack should take a WR at all in the draft, unless there is some kind of steal available like 1-2 round talent available in the 3-4 rounds. Remember, a healthy Jermichael Finley makes every receiver we already have a lot better. I feel the Pack's needs are as follows: 1. CB- I think one more good corner would provide needed depth and youth and ensure a strong secondary for several more seasons. 2. OLB/Edge Pass rush- Another Clay Matthews opposit Clay Matthews would be perfect, yet it might be impossible/illegal to clone him. I would prefer an OLB prospect who has good all around OLB skills (Coverage, Run Support, instincts, etc), yet he must have serious speed and pass rushing ability. 3. OL- I think that the O-line needs a really physical, bruising type addition. A tackle would be preferred over a guard, but I think a "take no prisoners" type attitude would help the overall line play. 4. RB- I think Grant is great. I have no issues with him. I know that a portion of the adequate running game we have is due to our offensive line as well. Yet I think the Pack would benefit from a good change of pace type back. Grant has great consistency. Let him maul defenses and wear them down, then spell him with a back that has greater speed and quickness. Granted, this need may disappear altogether if Starks or Nance show some good ability. I know that it is early in the season and things do change. Yet aside from some off season FA signings I don't see the first 3 needs changing very much. If Green Bay can get another stud OLB pass rusher, a skilled young cover corner, and an offensive lineman with some killer instinct in the next draft, I think they take a great first step in staying very competitive for a long time.
