So the Packers have 12 picks. Four of them are late seventh rounders, so they are basically just going to be undrafted guys for whom we don’t want to battle. That leaves eight picks in the meat of the draft, two of which can’t be traded. I don’t know if it’s such a shoe-in that Ted’s planning a trade-up.

Never thought it was a for sure thing that Thompson would move up, but the sheer number of picks he has, whether they are late or not, makes it slightly more likely. If I had to bet right now, I'd say he doesn't in the first round.

It's tough to trade up in the first or second round if you don't have extra first or second round picks. Essentially Ted has three picks in the high value rounds. He might trade up in the fourth and fifth, but I see a trade down being more likely in the first, so he can snag more second/third rounders.

To get CM3 we traded a second-round pick (41st) and both third-round picks (73 and 83) for the 26th overall pick and a fifth-rounder (162). This left us with two first round picks and no other picks until the fourth-round. With the picks we have this year could easily pull it off again but we would be looking more at one of the last first-round or first second-round picks instead of 26th over all. We could trade our second-round pick (59), third-round pick (90) and fourth-round pick (123) still leaving us with two fourth-round picks. So again we would end up with two first and then our fourth-round picks much like the year we picked up Raji and Mathews.

Keep in mind, that year we had (i believe) the number 8 pick in each round. We are at the bottom this year. To trade up in the first it would probably take our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. That's too much IMO. We need OLB and DL and a DB or two, not just one star. Unless that guy developed into like a Tamba Hali type player, it wouldn't be worth it IMO.

The difference is that we already had used our first #1, and it still cost us 3 picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to up 15 spots into the LATE 1st round. The cost of getting into the early or mid-1st would be much higher, and this year we only have the 3 picks in rounds 1-3 to deal with. It would cost us all 3 and probably a 4th or 2 to make a move of any signifigance. That's just far too much.

You people do not read well. I am not saying moving up in the first at all in fact if you read what I wrote I said we would probably end up with a very high second and our original first round pick. Like if we were to trade with the Colts for their second round pick since they might be looking to add more draft picks as they are in a rebuilding stage. It would be very close to having two first-round picks, our original pick at 28 and the colts pick at 34.

According to the old NFL draft trade value chart, our 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks have an added value of 499.

The closest to this value is the pick 40, or 8th pick of the 2nd round, which is valued 500.

But this doesn't count TT moving down from the first round. We could, in theory, pick twice in the top 10 of the 2nd round and still keep a medium 3rd rounder, and the rest of our picks.

I don't think the math adds up in order for us to pick 3 times in the 2nd, though, or even in the early 3rd, but if anyone cares to do the math: http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/Value-Chart.php

You people...As in You and Cole. Cole replied with, “To trade up in the first it would probably take our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.” which trading up in the first round was not at all in my first statement and you replied with “The cost of getting into the early or mid-1st” which was also not what I said. I said one of the last first or early second round pick. So you two people don’t read well.

Thank you PackersRS for actually reading my post and replying with something that made sense on why I was wrong .

Two picks you can't trade leaves six that you can, while knowing you still have the two. But that's beside the point. One thing has to happen to trigger a trade: TT has to see a guy he really wants fall within striking distance, ala CM3. With the Packers taking care of center and (maybe) DL, who is the 3-4 OLB prospect that TT covets?

Agreed. And if you find out the answer to that last question, let me know! :)

But with only 6 tradable picks, it will be awfully hard to get value in the draft. You'd really have to trade 5 of the 6 to get anywhere near the top 10.

Agreed, that is why I said someone would have to fall to within TT's range. He won't trade into the top 10. He might trade into the high teens to low 20s.

Our first 3 picks have a value of 1110, which would put us at 14th (1100).

Our next pick (4th round, 123) has a value of 49, which would move us to the 13th (1150).

Excluding trading future round picks and players, that's as far as we can go.

I think there is a ton of talent in the second round this year the Packers may be interested in. Based on the ESPN pick value chart the Packers would have to trade their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks to move up to the top 10 of the second round. The 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks are not enough to get into the second. If TT wants to get extra second round picks he's probably going to have to trade back out of first. Teams usually only overpay when their is someone right left on the board they really want, which gives teams trading down the leverage.

Can you tell me what happened to the Quinn Johnson trade? Didn't they ship him off to Tennessee for a 7th round pick? Did they lose that because of the draft pick maximum? Isnt 12 picks the most a team can have? Either way, 13 would be better than 12.

It was a conditional pick. He had to play 5 games for the Titans for us to get a pick, but they cut him at 3 or 4.

I think to validate the 7th round pick, Quinn had to play in more than 4 games -- he was basically a sub until Ahmard Hall returned from a 4 game suspension.

This could be "why" he was waived:

"Johnson graded out as Pro Football Focus' worst lead blocker in the league in four early-season starts with the Titans."

This, from the guy that was drafted to be the great blocking specialist. What happened? Crying out loud he was big enough, he was strong enough, and it's not like blocking as a full-back is the most athletic feat that happens on a football field.

Each draft is different and this one (from all I read) is deep in rounds 2-4. We don't know what TT thought when he traded up for CM3. It's possible the talent level at the picks he gave up made it easier to make the trade up. This year he may be less likely due to how he views his talent board.
I would like to see TT trade pick 28 to KC for picks 44 and 74:
44) Shea McClellin
60) Jared Crick or Billy Winn
74) CB's---Fleming, or Steed, or Norman
90) Greg Childs, AJ Jenkins, or an OG
123) S's---Allen, or hybrids Judie, Prater
132) Josh Chapman
133) Ryan Lindley
163) Hebron Fanuga or OLB's Kaddu, Wilber, J Smith
197 & 224) Trade up for Quentin Saulsberry
235) Michael Smith
241) Najae Goode
243) Chris Greenwood
