Alright now for a little bit of Mock work First Scenario, Bates and Favre return along with some WCO using Coordinator or Head Coach depending on Bates situation. The Packers re-sign Aaron Kampman to a nice deal yet lower than KGB's. Offer Green a 1 year incentive based deal and allow him to compete for a spot. Franchise Tag is place on Ryan Longwell DRAFT 1) LB A.J Hawk Ohio State 2) Darnell Bing Safety USC 3) Manny Lawson DE NC State 4) Darrell Hunter CB Miami (OH) 4b) Taitusi Lutui Gaurd Southern Cal(Rivera compensation pick) 5) Gerald Anderson DT Georgia 5b) Brad Smtih QB Missouri (Traded to for Robert Ferguson) 6) Dennis Roland Tackle Georgia 6b) Matt Bernstein FB Wisconsin(Jue Compensation pick) FA Signings Pry Safety Chris Hope Away from Pitsburgh to compete for a Job. attempt to sign gaurd Steve Hutchinson from Seattle if not tagged. Sign or trade for a somewhat established veteran running back to come in and compete with our current roster such as Lee Suggs, or possibly Ron Dayne etc. Sign a Free Agent Veteran Corner to come in and compete, Juran Bolden, Terry Cousin, Will Allen, etc. I'll post Scenario 2 tommorow.
Well Lawson and Bing are likely to be gone when we pick in those rounds. Bing is a late first round pick if he enters but could fall to us in round 2. Lawson won't fall to round 3. He's actually a projected LB in the NFL and someone in round 2 will go with him. Not big on Brad Smith.. Probably will play WR in the NFL.. Thompson's philospy is not to spend a lot of money on guards so I doubt that we'll be able to get in the running for Hutchinson.
Lawson is gonna be picked up at least by 2nd round, and he isnt right for your system. Lawson most likely going to be a 3-4 OLB
If Jim Bates gets the head coaching job in Green Bay, do you think he might push TT to try to get Ricky Williams away from Miami? (As long as we're dreaming here...)
