With the 24th pick...

The Green Bay Packers select: Dan Cody, DE from the University of OK. Dan is 6' 5" tall and weighs in at 254 lbs. Dan enjoys rushing the QB and tackling runners for a loss. Dan's favorite color is red, but is willing to change that to green given his new employer. He enjoys meat and potatoes and is looking forward to the team fondue party. Dan is looking forward to many meetings with KGB while sacking the QB this upcoming season.

That's my pick on who the Packers will end up picking in the draft. Would I want someone different? Yes. But this is who I believe that they will end up with.

My draft scenario #1: Packers draft David Pollack in rd 1, then get Brodney Poole with their first rd 2 pick, then get Odell Thurman with the second rd 2 pick. This fills a lot of needs on D with 3 potential starters.

My draft scenario #2: Packers trade Ahman Green and one of their 2nd rd picks to Miami for Jason Taylor and they swap 1st round picks. Packers take Ronnie Brown with the #2 pick, thus even though they incur about $2 mill more in cap from this move this year, they significantly upgrade the defense and do not have to worry about Green's expiring contract at the end of the season when a franchise tag would be inevitable, thus making better use of thier cap space by having 2 players instead of just 1 for the same amount next year. Not a chance this will happen, but fun to visualize.

My draft scenario #3: Packers draft Thomas Davis in the first round, then get Matt Roth when he surprisingly falls to them in Rd 2. Barrett Ruud is the next 2nd round pick taken.

Just some fun with thinking about possibilities. Ted Thompson is a high quality GM and I have a lot of faith that he will draft a good player. Just so long as the 1st round pick is not a friggin' QB, I'm happy.
