Packers | Team gives Walker permission to seek trade
Thu, 27 Apr 2006 09:51:58 -0700

Michael Smith, of ESPN.com, reports the Green Bay Packers have given WR Javon Walker permission to explore trade opportunities and a deal is expected before this weekend's NFL Draft, league sources with direct knowledge of the situation said.


Chiefs aren't the only team. Could be very interesting.

NOW we're talkin. I heard Rick Spielman on ESPN talking about this at lunch. I was hoping KC might be in on the mix. He had Walker rated as the #3 WR this weekend - behind Jackson and Holmes. That means an early 2nd round pick, so maybe we swap our #20 for #36? I'd be ok with this.

I would give our first for Walker. And I don't even remotely think we need a WR. He's just too good to pass on. I'd prefer to give a second.

How about our 1st and 2nd for Walker and their 2nd?

On one hand, he's a good WR and would be great for our offense. On the other hand, isn't he a locker room cancer? Isn't he a mini-me of T.O.? Then on the other hand, a trade for a 3rd round pick would be good. On the other hand, a 1st round pick would be too much. And yet, on the other hand........ well, that's already too many hands.

Why not? Dropping only 16 spots isn't much different talent-wise. But come contract time, Carl can say, 'you're only a 2nd rounder - not a 1st'.

Was he injured or did he sit out '05 with a contract dispute? I forgot. If he was injured, then he shouldn't be work too much. Maybe a 3rd or 4th.

Not really, he fired Rosenhaus. His issues in Green Bay are more with the management of the team where he feels he was treated unfairly than him being an ass in the locker room. Not to mention Brett Favre went way out of line last year to rip on him.

remember that Favre's arm tends to make wide receivers look better because they don't need as much separation.

jspchief
04-27-2006, 11:25 AM
On the other hand, isn't he a locker room cancer? Isn't he a mini-me of T.O.? No. He's not. He was still locked into his rookie contract and was coming off a kick ass season (nearly 1400 yards). He wanted a new contract. His agent threatened a hold out in the spring, then he fired his agent and chose to show up and play. Where he got injured on the first play of the season.

He was asking for a raise that he deserved. Just lke when Holmes asked for one. And he wasn't a cancer about it at all.

After Walker's huge '04, the cheap Packers failed to recognize it with any type of bonus or updated contract. Going into '05, he was only making somewhere in the $700,000 range. For his #'s, that's pathetic. Favre and others got him on board before he went out injured early in the season.
Ironically, Walker was the #20 overall in his draft year.

But That's not the case with Walker. he was a pretty good talent coming out of college, and he's turned into a stud since. Great athleticism, jumping, speed, and awesome hands.

Walker is in the top 5 of WR's in the league...

Let me be perfectly clear here, as of today, April 27, 2006, and as of all of last year, Brett Favre, formerly great player, SUCKS.

He is not even average among NFL QBs. He makes too many horrible throws these days in comparison to the few flashes of greatness he occassionally shows. I think part of it is coaching as well, in that he was ALLOWED to keep making moronic throws into triple coverage without getting the ass-chewing he deserved.

I've been in draftplanet, haven't seen this discussion til just a minute ago. Haven't read up yet, but how's this?

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=139652

Posted that yesterday.
*****
KC 1st round pick (#20) = 850
GB 2nd round pick (#36) = 540

... for a difference of 310, equivalent to #59 overall in the 2nd, 5 picks after our 2nd round pick.

So in effect, if we were to trade out of 20, down to Green Bay's 2nd round position #36, we've given up just a bit under the equivalent of our 2nd round pick. And we've held onto 3 total picks in Day 1. With Javon coming off an ACL injury, it's possible we might get a later round pick back from the Pack, perhaps to make the trade equivalent to a 3rd round pick value, without actually giving up that pick.

Summarizing, KC gets a still young (albeit rehabbing) playmaker at WR, and maintains the following Day1 picks by Round.Overall_Pick (with my wish list selections):

2.36 - DE Tamba Hali, Penn State
2.54 - S Ko Simpson, South Carolina or S Pat Watkins, Florida State or CB (if somebody slides, such as Richard Marshall, Fresno State)
3.85 - DT Claude Wroten, LSU

Agreed. A 2nd sounds about right. If it's the very bottom of the second, maybe a 2nd and a 7th or something, but yeah. 2nd.

He's 28 years old as of this October, and entering his 5th year. He is definitely heading INTO his prime years, barring injury.

i never said favre was good


i said that his arm strength allows completions to receivers with less separation than other QB.

also his chuck and duck method makes alot of passes that most QB's wouldn't throw.

the wide receivers don't get blamed for his crap throws ... but get credit when they win the jump ball.


it inflates the numbers and worth of the wide receivers for Green Bay.


i'm not saying walker and driver suck ... just that they get a bonus from Favres wild man style and arm strength.

It says nothing. Just cuz the Pack wants a 1st doesn't mean they will get a 1st. If they need to make a deal, then they might have to take a the best offer they get even if it's not quite a 1st.

For Walker, I personally would be okay with a 2nd this year and another pick next year. I'd like to say another 3rd, but even if it was a 2nd, mebbe.

'course I'm figuring that that pick ends up being the last pick in the round next year. :p

I agree. He's injury prone and quite honestly, in my book, he's overrated. I'd take Lelie over him 'cause we know Lelie can stretch the field- but, I'd only give up a 3rd round pick for Lelie. Lelie and Parker on one side, Kennison on the other as a possession receiver would create the mismatches we'd want because Gonzalez would then have a field day and if Wilson ever amounted to anything- he become a factor in the offense.

mmmm....interesting. So because Favre takes crazy chances squeezing the ball into overly-tight spots, his receivers get more receptions than they would with a normal, sane, QB because they need less separation.

That's a really, really interesting theory. No idea if it's true or not, but interesting. Teh rep just for the interesting insight into the weird possibility I hadn't even thought of.

04-27-2006, 11:39 AM
There are a handful of teams talking to GB about Walker. he is a stud WR, a true #1. FWIW the Broncos are talking to GB about a 2nd rounder or a trade for Lelie:

...Denver can package and try to get another first-round pick. It can move down from No. 15 while staying in the first round and get more first-day picks.

It also could be interested in making a trade for a veteran player. The Broncos have been in talks with Green Bay about receiver Javon Walker and with Detroit about quarterback Joey Harrington. If either player is traded - and Denver has plenty of competition for both - it likely will happen this week.

To get Walker, Denver likely would have to offer a second-round pick or perhaps package receiver Ashley Lelie and a midround pick. The Lions likely would require a low-round pick for Harrington.

"injury prone"? Other than last year, he's been in 15+ games for the 3 prior years. How is that "injury prone"?!

He's also 15 pounds heavier than Lelie at the same height. I don't know which one is the better blocker in the running game, but I'd imagine it's Walker based on that alone.

I won't speak to which is the better deep threat vs. possession guy. I'd agree that you guys could use a deep threat vs. the Pats who want more of a possession guy (Branch and Johnson are solid deep threats for us already).

IMHO you overvalue draft picks. The goal of draft pick is to get football players who can contribute to your club CHEAP.

A 5th will be cheap, but it's far less than 50/50 whether he'll contribute to your club even a little bit, much less as a near or actual pro bowl caliber WR... If you've got the cap space for the guy, then it makes sense to do the deal.

Screw offense man. Go defense. Why Offense when you know your team has been one of the most prolific and well established offense the last 5 years?

Look, we hardly did anything to improve our defense so far in FA. At least we have the draft to look forward to and 3 first day picks that could fill significant holes and needs on defense. That's more important! This team needs passrushers, corners, safeties you name it. WR isn't a necessity on this team. Let's not forget about the Kennisons, Parkers, and Gonzalezs, they've all done a fine job. You gotta think balance people.

If we get Walker, we gonna have to sacrife some picks for sure, and that means we lose out on defense. Once again, call me pissed if that happens, and I won't watch football this year.

Some people have a true hardon over draft picks. The goal is for that player to become a star that you draft.

If you trade a draft pick (not your first) for a top talent, what's the problem?

Why does an offensive player excite some people?

You're assuming the player we draft in the 2nd round could contribute to the team. Sorry, but with Carl's record in the 2nd, I have little faith that will happen.

Yeah, those receivers have done a fine job - with an offensive coordinator that knew the passing game inside and out.

Getting a young, stud receiver should be a priority. Kennison isn't going to play forever, and quite frankly, we've gotten more than I ever could have expected out of him.

I am thinking balance. Offensive balance. The defense isn't going to somehow turn into a juggernaut because of a 2nd round pick.

I don't get it. Why does an offensive player intrigue some people here?
Javon Walker is a damn fine WR, but, if we got him and gave up our first day picks, I'd be pissed.

Screw offense man. Go defense. Why Offense when you know your team has been one of the most prolific and well established offense the last 5 years?

Look, we hardly did anything to improve our defense so far in FA. At least we have the draft to look forward to and 3 first day picks that could fill significant holes and needs on defense. That's more important! This team needs passrushers, corners, safeties you name it. WR isn't a necessity on this team. Let's not forget about the Kennisons, Parkers, and Gonzalezs, they've all done a fine job. You gotta think balance people.

If we get Walker, we gonna have to sacrife some picks for sure, and that means we lose out on defense. Once again, call me pissed if that happens, and I won't watch football this year.

Not necessarily.

KC 1st round pick (#20) = 850
GB 2nd round pick (#36) = 540

... for a difference of 310, equivalent to #59 overall in the 2nd, 5 picks after our 2nd round pick.

So in effect, if we were to trade out of 20, down to Green Bay's 2nd round position #36, we've given up just a bit under the equivalent of our 2nd round pick. And we've held onto 3 total picks in Day 1. With Javon coming off an ACL injury, it's possible we might get a later round pick back from the Pack, perhaps to make the trade equivalent to a 3rd round pick value, without actually giving up that pick.

Summarizing, KC gets a still young (albeit rehabbing) playmaker at WR, and maintains the following Day1 picks by Round.Overall_Pick (with my wish list selections):

2.36 - DE Tamba Hali, Penn State
2.54 - S Ko Simpson, South Carolina or S Pat Watkins, Florida State or CB (if somebody slides, such as Richard Marshall, Fresno State)
3.85 - DT Claude Wroten, LSU

Lighten up Francis, it wouldn't happen. I was merely suggesting how in combination with our receivers- Lelie could help stretch the field and create mismatches. I stand corrected, but I believe Walker would be another possession receiver- we already have one. We need someone with speed to stretch the field with Parker.

Ha. Walker doesn't have speed?

That's absurd.

Lelie has speed. So does that Capel guy we had in here a few years ago. Maybe we can get him. He has about the same hands as Lelie.

I don't know about other people, Mr. RedBull, but for me it sometimes boils down to known vs. unknown.

We know that our offense should be good this year (barring injury, idiocy, etc.). We don't know how our defense will perform with or without a good draft.

So, if the O can put up 7 to 10 more points per game on average with a "known" improvement on that side of the ball, would that not help our D as well as aid our chances at making the playoffs? Especially considering this coming year's schedule?

We'd be very lucky to have any of our '06 draft picks turn into the caliber of player that Walker is. That's why he's worth it. Walker already is what teams can only hope that draftees like Holmes and Jackson will become. He's a known commodity.

I believe that we will end up trading down with either Carolina or Pittsburg cause they both want Lendale White.

Amen.

Some people have a true hardon over draft picks. The goal is for that player to become a star that you draft.

If you trade a draft pick (not your first) for a top talent, what's the problem?


I think people are tantalized by draft picks the same way they are tantalized by a lottery ticket for a drawing tomorrow. The **possibility** of huge rewards dazzles them. The **reality** is that the prize isn't likely to be that big is forgotten.

Pats traded a 4th round pick for a rent-a-year Ted Washington to plug a huge gap at Nose Tackle and won the SB in 2003 with him. After that year, he left for more money. Not a single Pats fan with a brain in his head regrets that trade.

The next year, the Pats traded a 2nd (we had 2 that year) for Corey Dillon to seriously upgrade the RB position. Another Super Bowl.

Last year, we had some bum trades -- traded a pick to Cleveland for Andre Davis and a pick to the Cards for Duane Starks, who flat out sucked for reasons unclear. The point, however, is that a pick is nothing more than an opportunity to get a good player. If you think the player is going to help you out, then you need to balance the value of the player against the caliber of player you're likely to draft at that spot.

A proven Pro Bowl WR, hell, a Pro Bowler at almost any position is worth a 2nd round pick...period. Or, we could roll the dice on Siavii, Bigfoot, Eddie Freeman, Kevin Lockett, Mike Cloud....etc.

The drawback isn't giving up the 2nd round pick, it's the money invested in giving Walker the extension he'd inevitably want. Then you've got that much more salary cap money tied up in the offense. I'd still pull the trigger.

The team isn't going to turn the defense around with a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th rounder this year.

With Gunther here, I have little faith any 2nd rounder could turn into something anyway.

We traded for Trent Green, gave up a much higher pick, still had defensive deficiencies and he was coming off two major procedures.

First off, let me say this draft is LOADED with talent. It is deep, and you can get a good player in the 2nd round to start for you. Yes I have a good feeling we will draft a good player in the 2nd round to start for us.

I don't think of Carls history when it comes to 2nd round picks. I think we should place that aside, and forget about it. We've got Herman Edwards, and we should be talking about Herman Edwards here. I think we are gonna draft a CB in the 2nd round. And I feel confident, and comfortable with that especially if Herm is a major contributor in the overall scouting analysis of the CB we select in the 2nd round.

We have a fine balance on offense. We lack that superstar receiver, but we are solid all round. I mean I can't think of a team that has an offense more prolific, and established as the Chiefs?

What Im trying to say is, it's not just a second round pick thats gonna make this defense into a juggernaut. I agree it won't just take a second round pick. I'd like all THREE first day picks come in and start for us on defense. Contribution from all 3 rounds should make this defense better at least. I'd take that over Javon Walker. And keep the offense the same, leave it the way it is...We shouldn't allow an offensive player to negate some of our first day picks. Most of the holes we have on defense outweigh a superstar WR by a mile.

Unless you're going to guarantee me that we can get a stud DE in the 2nd round that can immediately pay dividens, I don't buy the whole "the holes we have outweigh a superstar WR by a mile."

You dont just trade away a WR because he's not a ProBowler in his first couple seasons.

Nice post, Mr. RedBull.

If you check my football-related posts, you'll see that I am also very much in favor of adding a pass rush threat to our D. Our lack of an effective pass rush either from the middle or from the end opposite Jared is probably this team's most glaring overall weakness. A better rush would certainly improve the performance of our d-backs.

However, as has been stated, the draft is a crap-shoot. Barring Herm's conservative nature, we may be forced once again into the position of having to outscore the enemy. Can we or can we not? That's the question.

I agree fully with both your sentiment and your logic. But, if we have the opportunity to pull down an impact WR we should probably strongly consider it. We've been flying on one wing when it comes to WRs too.

I hope that an improvement on D and the addition of a good receiver are not mutually exclusive achievements this year.

Summarizing, KC gets a still young (albeit rehabbing) playmaker at WR, and maintains the following Day1 picks by Round.Overall_Pick (with my wish list selections):

2.36 - DE Tamba Hali, Penn State
2.54 - S Ko Simpson, South Carolina or S Pat Watkins, Florida State or CB (if somebody slides, such as Richard Marshall, Fresno State)
3.85 - DT Claude Wroten, LSU


We may not have to give up any "picks" at all, just position. Is this likely? I dunno, just saying that trades can be flexible.

Would you make this trade? I would!!

No absolutely not. I don't like that trade, it's sound too risky. If I see Lawson there at 20, Im taking him.

Until we have a better idea of what the terms would be, who knows if it would be a good trade or not? In a vacuum, Walker is one of the better receivers in the league. He's productive and he can burn teams deep. If we were to get Walker and swap places in the 1st, plus some later round manipulation, then I think it's a good idea. You could still get an impact defensive player at GB's pick.


We would get a better def. player with GB's pick. Michael Huff might be there.

You dont just trade away a WR because he's not a ProBowler in his first couple seasons. Parker is the future of this team in the WR position and he is getting better and showed flashes of what he can do last season. We need this first round pick for our defense. and I'm not willing to trade down just yet, especially not 16 spots.

You're overrating Parker. He wouldn't have a spot for him if we had Walker. Hall would be our slot guy. He's expendable.

I agree wholeheartedly. I also believe we need a WR as bad as we need any other position on the field besides a CB. Eddie Kennison is not a true #1 WR. Jevon Walker is. He is one of the top 5 WR in the league. This is a no brainer. If we can get him for a 2nd round or better pick, we'd be dumb not to make it happen. Imagine what Jevon Walker could accomplish with a back like Larry Johnson, the playaction deep ball will be back in Kansas City in large fashion.

04-27-2006, 12:51 PM
Nice post, Mr. RedBull.

If you check my football-related posts, you'll see that I am also very much in favor of adding a pass rush threat to our D. Our lack of an effective pass rush either from the middle or from the end opposite Jared is probably this team's most glaring overall weakness. A better rush would certainly improve the performance of our d-backs.

Thank you Fax. I just wanna comment, our passrush is the biggest weakness on the team. Having 2 good passrushers coming off the edge also opens up room for your DT's. With that being said, I think Manny Lawson should be the guy we take at 20 if he is there. It is amazing what a stud passrusher can do.

However, as has been stated, the draft is a crap-shoot. Barring Herm's conservative nature, we may be forced once again into the position of having to outscore the enemy. Can we or can we not? That's the question. The draft is a crap-shoot, I agree. I think we can outscore anybody. As long as Green and the O-line is healthy, and LJ is running we'll be ok.

I agree fully with both your sentiment and your logic. But, if we have the opportunity to pull down an impact WR we should probably strongly consider it. We've been flying on one wing when it comes to WRs too.

I hope that an improvement on D and the addition of a good receiver are not mutually exclusive achievements this year.

FAX

In all honesty, I do like Javon Walker...but if we are gonna get him, we are gonna have to give up a 1st round pick. That's a big sacrifice. Instead, what I would do, is look after the June 1st cuts, and see if there is a guy out there that can contribute at the WR position....he doesn't have to be a javon Walker, but a solid contributor...Im just not sold on giving up a draft pick, for a guy coming off rehab, not only that, then we gotta talk $$$ too.

Mr. Laz
04-27-2006, 12:52 PM
Amen.

Some people have a true hardon over draft picks. The goal is for that player to become a star that you draft.

If you trade a draft pick (not your first) for a top talent, what's the problem?
a few reasons...


1. because the established star you trade for almost always comes with a huge contract along with the trade ... double cost

2. said player almost always drops in production (at least temporarily) because they move to a new system and all the adjustment that come with a new situation.

3. unlike a young draft pick who has a cheap salary during the first year or 2 it takes to get going .. that star you just traded for is getting paid premium bucks during the learning/adjustment period.


not saying i don't want walker or stars ... just that it's complicated

Ok...when has Carl made the final decisions and overrided his scouting staff, and coaching staff? Once I recall, and LJ was the pick.

I don't get it. Why does an offensive player intrigue some people here?
Javon Walker is a damn fine WR, but, if we got him and gave up our first day picks, I'd be pissed.

Screw offense man. Go defense. Why Offense when you know your team has been one of the most prolific and well established offense the last 5 years?

Look, we hardly did anything to improve our defense so far in FA. At least we have the draft to look forward to and 3 first day picks that could fill significant holes and needs on defense. That's more important! This team needs passrushers, corners, safeties you name it. WR isn't a necessity on this team. Let's not forget about the Kennisons, Parkers, and Gonzalezs, they've all done a fine job. You gotta think balance people.

If we get Walker, we gonna have to sacrife some picks for sure, and that means we lose out on defense. Once again, call me pissed if that happens, and I won't watch football this year.

We definitely need to concentrate on our offense. 6 huge reasons:

No more Priest
No more Tony R.
No quality WRs
Old O-line
Old QB
No more offensive-minded HC

and most importantly...

No Al Saunders!!!

Don't just think we'll flip the switch without Al and pick up where we left off. I predict 10 fewer pts/game without some sort of upgrade here.

A proven player at any position in the NFL is better than any 'chance' pick in the NFL draft. And when you throw in the fact that he's very good, this is a no brainer. Quit dickin around and make the trade.

Broncos zeroing in on Walker

By Bill Williamson
Denver Post Staff Writer
DenverPost.com

The Broncos have taken another step in their quest for a veteran playmaking receiver. The team is bringing disgruntled Green Bay receiver Javon Walker in for a visit Friday, an NFL source confirmed.

Denver has been monitoring Walker, who has asked to be traded from Green Bay. Walker, who visited New Orleans this morning, is likely to be traded by Saturday's draft. Green Bay is looking for a high-draft pick. Denver, looking for a receiver in the draft, has the No. 15 pick.

Walker is coming off a torn ACL and is entering the final year of his contract.

DaneMcCloud
04-27-2006, 02:46 PM
There are several issues with Javon Walker that would make me hesitant to trade a first round choice and some of those have been touched upon, others not.

1. ACL recovery. I know that it's common for guys to come back fully healthy from that injury, but if you're giving up a #1, you'd better be positive he can fully recover.

2. QB play. We all know that Favre is well into the backside of his career but he does make throws that TG can't. I don't really consider TG a "Vertical Passer", so I'm not sure how well he'd fit into the current system. I've watched GB on plenty of occasions but have never watched his route running, which is imperative in this system.

3. Level of competition. This hasn't been mentioned much but the level of competition, especially in the NFC Central hasn't been that great as of late, and the Bears had not ascended to their current level of play in 2004. Walker played twice against such "Powerhouses" as the Lions, Bears and Vikings, all of which we definitely low in the defensive rankings. They also faced the Titans & Texans that year. In looking at Walker's 2004 numbers, he played well against Tennessee, Dallas, Jax, Indy (200yds) and Chicago but against all other teams, he had less than 100 yard (and in several, less than 50).

4. Signing Bonus. This guy is going to want at least 7-10 million upfront. As much as I'd love to have a real number one receiver, is it wise, at this juncture, to have that much invested in an offensive player coming off serious injury?

If the Chiefs were able to grab Walker with the #2 and possibly get a fifth or sixth in return, I'd be all for it. The number 20 overall seems to be too steep, IMO.

Packers | Team may accept a second-round pick for J. Walker
Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:33:00 -0700

Pete Dougherty, of PackersNews.com, reports the Green Bay Packers want a first-round draft pick in exchange for WR Javon Walker. However, a source said there's always the chance they'd settle for a second-rounder from the New Orleans Saints or Denver Broncos. New Orleans has second pick of the second round, which is pick No. 34 overall. Denver has the fifth pick of the second round, which is No. 37 overall.

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:47:01 -0700

Michael Smith, of ESPN.com, reports Green Bay Packers WR Donald Driver is mad that the team has not re-done his deal and wants to be traded or released.

The Packers front office must be the cheapest bunch of pricks in the NFL. No wonder Brett didn't want to come back. Someone must have had a gun to his head.

Now the more I think about it Javon Walker wouldnt help us get to the playoffs. This team has 4 MAJOR holes on defense: DE,DT,CB,S. And really even both safety positions because theyre both slow as piss. Antonio Cromartie or Manny Lawson are my favorites to be a first round pick. People say hes too small, myself included, but someone pointed out to me that Jason Taylor and Javon Kearse came into the league around the same weight as Lawson is now, so in that aspect, Manny Lawson is my pick. We need Dline help more than anything right now. It all starts out up front, this includes on both sides of the ball. Our pass defense will not get better unless we have a good pass rush. If not, teams will continue to throw on us all day.

I agree with both of those guys and true about Lawson's size. Look at other top DE's in the league:
John Abraham 6-4/258
Derrick Burgess 6-2/260
Robert Mathis 6-2/235
Adewale Ogunleye 6-4/260
Jeff Posey 6-4/241
Greg Spires 6-1/265
Demarcus Ware 6-4/255

With Lawson at 6-5/241 He has room to grow, at least another 15 pounds.
Rare athletic ability with outstanding speed and a great burst.

We need to keep our first rounder to try and land this guy.

The question is: Who is likely to be available when we pick in the 20th spot that would be a better fit in KC?
If we have any real interest in Walker, but aren't quite sold on giving up our 1st for him for fear that someone we like better will be there, then we should work out a contract with him in advance and roll the dice that nobody else will trade for him. If our player isn't there then we make the trade.

Green Bay has had far too much drama with Walker and Favre to let him stick around, so he will be traded no later than saturday.

Is anyone on here honestly sold enough on a player in this draft, that they'd rather have said player over Walker? I'm not, but then I haven't followed the draft as much this year either.

One thing to consider is that we've spent a lot of money as an organization evaluating players AND we just put Kuharich in charge of the draft. The most important player in any draft is your first rounder and to trade that pick away after you've just put a new guy in charge of that pick is at the very least "difficult" and could be seen as a slap in the face. Not that I personally care how he'd view it, but office politics play a role.

All of that being said, I don't think we trade our first for him and I don't think our second will get the deal done. Some other organization will offer up a high 2nd or low (lower than ours) first. Won't surprise me if he ends up in Denver or Philly for their 2nd. My guess is Denver, who has a higher 2nd.

The downside to that suggestion is GB also gets to see who's left at 20 and could decide it's no longer worth it. Although all that does is bring us right back to where we were all along.

PACK WANT FIRST-ROUNDER FOR WALKER

A league source tells us that the Green Bay Packers want a first-round draft choice for receiver Javon Walker, and that the Pack don't intend to deal him for anything less than that.

Although such talk could merely be puffery, with Green Bay possibly willing to take a two or a three, the Packers have assumed a hard line to date regarding Walker. It wouldn't surprise us at all to see G.M. Ted Thompson dig in his heels, if for no reason other than to prove a point.

What confuses us most regarding the Walker situation is the Packers' decision to wait until the eve of the draft to permit Javon to search for a trade partner. Published reports already have placed Walker in New Orleans and Denver for visits. We've heard that a trip to Philly is also in the works.

But as we explained on Wednesday night, too much needs to happen in a compressed time frame. A deal must be struck not only as to compensation between the Packers and Walker's new team, but also as to an extention of Walker's contract, which expires after the 2006 season.

With Green Bay holding out for a first-rounder and Walker wanting (as we've heard) $10 million to $12 million in bonus money on a new contract, we don't see a trade happening any time soon.

Javon Walker in that game wouldnt have made Trent Green get rid of the ball sooner. Should I mention Eric Warfield that game? Lets not be retarded about this game ok?

Yep.

Look, Walker is a guy that had one great season and ever since then has been nothing but a pain in the Packers ass. YES, Favre shouldn't have gotten involved in the situation, but the fact remains that Walker has been a prick over the past two years about his contract.

I don't go by the "draft by need" philosophy, in terms of drafting a certain position for "need", but I DO feel we need to draft a defensive player at some position. Javon Walker is a big name so people fawn over him, but he really isn't a solution to our problem, he's just a guy who would look nice on paper. We can try to patch things up each year for that "one more run", but that run ain't happening. We're just going to keep going 8-8 until we start building the defense.

Well, youre obviously blind.

No team should blow a 20pt+ lead after the first half. Our offense DOMINATED them in the first half. No way we wouldve needed a WR like Walker in that game. Did you forget that we let TO run all over us??? Our offense isnt the reason they came back in that game and you know it. Walker will not solve the problems on defense. You should go hook up with Vermeil because obviously your stance on our defense is similar to his.

The Buffalo game was a game we shouldve won. Our Oline was AWFUL in that game. Trent Green had how many INT's that game?? We let up the most sacks in that game. You can have Peyton Manning back there without an Oline and he wouldnt have done anything that game. I believe it was Eric Warfield (DEFENSE) who let up those two TD's that game, once again not the offense's fault. 2 plays, 2 TD's, thats all it took. Once again would have Javon Walker helped our Oline? Last time I checked he played WR not OT. Its clear to everyone that our offense sucks without Roaf.

What you seem to ignore about the BUF game was that we cant function at all if our Oline sucks like it did that game. NO QB CAN DO ANYTHING IF THE OLINE SUCKS. Look at David Carr for HOU. He's not as bad as his numbers show, his Oline sucks so bad it prohibits him from doing anything.

As it is right now, teams just need to force our DEs to the outside, and allow their QB to step up into a perfectly intact pocket. A DT that can push that pocket in allow both Allen and Hicks to get to the QB more often.

I was all for drafting a DT in this draft. Or even just upgrading the D-Line in general someway, somehow?

Um.....I like DT a lot, but realistically, Ngata is the best guy out there, and he'll be gone when we pick. I think Bunkley will too. That leaves us with a passrusher, which I don't mind either because I think of it this way, having 2 good passrushers can open up room for the DT's, especially on passing downs.

You have Allen, and lets say he lines up on the left side, he'll draw attention from both the tackle, and guard...Mind you, the tightend is a receiver in this case. Then you have Lawson at RE, who will draw attention from both the tackle and the guard as well. So that leaves the center as the only guy there in middle to block, guess what? One DT will be free and unblocked. But, in most cases this probably wouldn't happen.

So, with that being said, having 2 passrushers definately changes the scheme of things in terms of what type of formations teams will use against us, and just overall game planning in general....When you have 2 passrushing threats
teams most likely will have to use a tight end as an extra blocker, or 2 tightend sets or possibly max protect with both the running back and the fullback.

What I like about having 2 good passrushers, is, it eliminates 1 of the QB's options for not having an extra receiver down the field ala TE blocking.
And, it also opens up room for the DT's when the offense is using the Offensive line to block only. But not only that, if teams have to max protect against you, screens are eliminated automatically making the WLB job less stressful.

*Point is, having 2 passrushers gives the QB less options to throw the ball, and also, free up room everywhere, and makes other guys jobs around him a lot easier. Im not worried about DT as much as I used to be.
