Joseph gone to Raiders. One of the guys talked about for the Vikes. But they didn't take Jack or a receiver so...game on.

Apparently, they didn't like him that much as they took Karl Joseph...

I also like Jack as well, but not with our 1st rounder or even our 2nd...

He would fit the Packers 3-4 D at NT far better, in my opinion.

I'd prefer if you took Ragland and kept him in coverage a lot.

Myles Jack should have kept his mouth shut about the surgery, ugh.. I wouldn't even consider him past the 7th round.

I was absolutely in love with Ragland earlier in the weeks leading up to the draft, and even though I have soured on that idea a slight bit, I would still be extremely content if Ragland was the pick, I think dude could become a premier ILB.

Well...from what I understand he's fine now but "may" have to have microfracture surgery at some point. Obviously I don't know enough about his knee and what that ultimately means.

I'm not even sure I like him. I really don't want you guys to get him. Seriously, sounds like an incredibly strong guy who can get decent pass pressure. What's not to like.

We didn't need Randy Moss, with Carter and Reed. We didn't need Adrian, with Chester Taylor coming off a 1200 (?) yard season. Etc. If Billings is going to be a great player, pick him up and keep all three DT's really fresh!

Microfracture surgery, is a huge, huge deal.
