As a Packers fan, I want d-line and linebackers improvement. Te'o would be better than AJ Hawk.

I'd love for the Pack to snatch AJ Klein in the 4th. Hometown Kid. The current AJ at LB makes my head hurt. Best gang tackle piler in the NFL.

I think J. Wright will fill in nicely for Harvin in the slot WR position. I like having Percy Harvin's talent on the roster but this team has proven they don't need him to win - time to move him for some middle-round picks while he still has value.

Part of me wants to keep Harvin no matter what because he is so incredibly good, part of me wants to trade him for some picks. I think his Market value is no lower than a 2nd, but not a 1st. If the Vikings could get a 2nd and maybe one or two more picks for him AND sign a top tier WR like Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings, Victor Cruz, or Mike Wallace I would be ecstatic.

They can't have Harvin resign a new contract and sign a #1 outside receiver because of cap constraints, but slot receivers are not hard to find, even if Harvin is one of the best in the NFL.

Packers need O-Line and D-Line

**Copley305** · 01-22-2013, 03:25 PM

Bears need O-Line, LB, and TE help. First round: Chance Warmack / Alec Ogletree / Jonathan Cooper. Second round: Zach Ertz / Larry Warford / Arthur Brown

Walter Football is updating their mock and have AJ Klein going to the Vikings in the 3rd round. Still extremely early but I'm pretty sure they didn't have him going in the first 4 rounds last update

That would kick ***.

I wouldn't mind Teo if he dropped to 23 for the Vikings, either.

**cyhiphopp** · 01-22-2013, 04:16 PM

I don't know if I would want to spend a first round pick on Teo. He seemed kinda flaky even before we found out about his fake girlfriend. A first rounder needs to be a starter and is a big investment. If I was an NFL team and still had solid options at another position of need, I would probably pass.

I can see him falling into the early second round, ending up on a crappy team and flaming out in a few years because he can't handle the pressure of being on a losing team.

**cyhiphopp** · 01-22-2013, 04:16 PM

Now that I said that, my Steelers will move up in the draft to take him in the top 10.

He is a weirdo, but if he can be the type of leader he was before the whole fiasco, he has plenty of tape of him playing very well. He also can cover well, which is huge in the cover 2 that the Vikings play. He has a ton of ints.

Now, if pro players can't take him seriously or respect him, he won't be a viable option.

**heitclone** · 01-22-2013, 04:29 PM

I'd like to see the Bears go Oline,TE and LB. Maybe a CB later. With the first pick I have no problem with them taking the best guy available, if none of those spots can be addressed.

Booo! Then I'd only be able to root for him twice a year (When Minny plays GB)
