Packers Calendar: Draft Day Is Here

The first round gets underway at 7:00 p.m. CT with television coverage on NFL Network and ESPN.

After months of speculation and two extra weeks of waiting, fans will finally learn of the newest player to don the green and gold Thursday evening when the NFL Draft takes place.

Maybe the Green Bay Packers will even have two players by night's end if they take a player with the 21st overall selection and then trade up into the bottom of the first round. And perhaps they'll end up with no players at all by night's end if they trade down and accumulate more picks.

The action gets underway at 7:00 p.m. CT with television coverage provided on both the NFL Network and ESPN.

It's difficult to say when the Packers will be on the clock, especially if they make a trade. But if they stay put, the guess is they'll make their pick sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.

Right here at Cheeshead TV, we'll have our live blog running during the draft, allowing for fans to discuss as it unfolds. Then we'll be providing our annual immediate reaction broadcasts as soon as the Packers make their pick. 

Our homepage will be taken over with our live blog and broadcast player when the draft takes place.

Live pre-draft coverage begins as early as noon on NFL Network and 1:00 p.m. on ESPN.

Just gonna say this for my unsolicited 2 cents...

Please let TT draft BPA. I get this vibe that we all have identified the areas of greatest need (ILB and safety) for the Pack. As such we look at the highest rated players in the draft class at those positions. That DOESN'T mean those are locks to be really good players. I don't know crap about analyzing players, but I feel just because Pryor and Dix for example are the highest rated safeties doesn't mean they will be pro bowlers to say the least.
I get a BETTER vibe from the ILBs that are highest rated, but to that I would add that we all know TT isn't the best at drafting defense in the first round. I would not mind if we simply end up with a pro bowl receiver or tight end. Draft seems so deep at those spots and let's face it Ted is just better at finding catching talent.
I would love a player who is a lock on D, but Ted just can't seem to hit that homerun since Matthews. Praying he does!!!!!
Hope any of this made a lick of sense.
Go Pack and enjoy the draft Pack fans.
Lastly not one of us has any frickin idea what he'll do!
So expect the unexpected!

I went and compared Perry's #'s to every DE or OLB that was drafted in the first 2 rounds and there's only 2 or 3 players you could want instead of Perry. Keep in mind that he teases with potential,but hasn't played a full season without (nagging) injury.

Quinton Coples

Chandler Jones

and maybe Zach Brown (damn good coverage)

Man,I hope Perry can stay healthy and really blossom this season.

Believe me I know the painful injury context Stroh, and absoutely Collins was the man. I am speaking quite generally and by all means I hope these recent defensive draft picks come in to their own.

I just don't want him to reach.

I also still think one could argue his greatest draft success has been with receivers.

I also worry when the vast majority of fans seem to ordain a certain guy (Pryor, Dix) as the pick Ted should take.

I think if we go left, he'll go right.

Enjoy tonight and here's to Ted's success!

"I think if we go left, he'll go right."

I don't know about that.

Obviously what us fans think/predict has zero influence on TT, but I wouldn't call Datone, Perry, Sherrod, Bulaga, Raji or AJ Hawk shocking picks. If memory serves, all of those guys were mentioned with the Packers at one point or another leading up to the draft.

Harrell was a shocker, yeah. As was Rodgers (though Mike Mayock called it) and moving up to get Matthews. But generally speaking, the conventional wisdom hasn't been that far off.

I'd definitely take Shazier over Clinton-Dix and Pryor as well.

I think getting a LB in round 1 will dictate how the rest of the Draft will go for us.

Totally. They can get a solid starting safety in R2. But if they pass/miss out on Mosley and Shazier, it falls off pretty quickly.
