Message: <blockquote data-quote="greengold" data-source="post: 846606" data-attributes="member: 14223">My first 3 draft picks, as hopeful a mock as I could produce was: 1. Cody Ford 2. Hakeem Butler 3. Darnell Savage.... Now, granted, this was WAY before the draft, around the time of the combine, thinking about where we could realistically see some players.The #1 player I wanted GB to take was Savage. When Gutes traded up for him I completely freaked out. Regardless, I think stuff like this is somewhat telling of a fan, and where they stand on some of these kinds of issues. Another mock I had put together: Devin Bush, Darnell Savage, Dalton Risner... Yet another I put together had Christian Wilkins changed out for Bush... These were the needs I had been wanting addressed, for years on our Packers team. I'd love to hear any of yours... just thinking about it, that kind of clues you into another fan's perspective.I felt our OL was in DIRE need of additions, plural. Loved the Elgton Jenkins selection, and I feel he will go down as a complete steal. Wish we could have added the road grader/concrete wall Ford, though I have yet to check in to see how he has been faring. Butler, to me, was a prize that I felt Rodgers would LOVE to throw to. Tall slot WR too. If I'm not mistaken, Butler went to ARI and is out injured? IR?Regardless, Savage shot up draft boards, and I could not be happier we nabbed him. Transformative player for our defense who will only get better and better. That leaves us with perceived holes at WR and OT. I still believe Yosh may develop into a true stud OT, but question how far along he is in providing depth for this season. To me, I would not waste a minute getting him signed onto the roster, I believe in him that much. Others may not agree, but, that's my position on him.Again, let's wait two more weeks. I firmly think my own wishes at WR may not have been such a dire need, as I now believe very much in MVS, Geronimo and the new additions of Shepherd and Lazard. Kumerow's falling off the radar has been troubling, but, maybe he comes along here and gets dialed in nicely against DAL.As for Graham, yeah, I was not a fan of his signing, and he's pushing my own boundaries as a fan. However, he does have 2 TDs, his numbers from a career standpoint are currently on the low side projecting current production through 16 games, but, this is through 4 weeks with the offense still struggling to find its way to top gear. I think as the season progresses, Graham's production could increase significantly. If not, then we will know this was a costly two year miscue. I do not like the lack of hustle I've witnessed to start this season, and I'm hoping that gets turned around, guardedly so.Oddly enough, Gutes seems to like building in two year outs with most of his FA signings. Seems a reasonable ploy, see what you get, and if it doesn't work, move along. Two years is not too bad, but, I would prefer solid hits when it comes to providing Rodgers weapons to get the job of winning a SB accomplished, like any of us. Maybe Graham still pays those dividends.You know he will be adding WR next season, for sure. In the meantime, we are not even cooking yet... we might be surprised with what we have at WR this year.</blockquote>
