Not resigned/retained

Greg Jennings
John Kuhn
Erik Walden
Donald Driver
Jeff Saturday

Resigned

Sam Shields
Evan Dietrich-Smith
Brad Jones
Tom Crabtree
Charles Woodson (restructured)

Free Agency

Richard Seymour, DE, Oakland Raiders

Ted obviously isn't likely to make a ton of moves in free agency, however I think Seymour makes a ton of sense. He's getting up there in age, but the late season injury to Worthy, the uncertainty of Mike Neal and the overall lack of interior push make this a solid move. Signs a friendly 3 year deal to try to win a SB with us. Probably only plays 2 years.

NFL Draft

4th Round compensatory pick for Matt Flynn

TRADE Packers trade their first round pick (#26) to the Chiefs for their 2nd and a 4th

2nd Round A

D.J Swearinger FS South Carolina

Some may argue this is a little early for D.J, however I believe he is exactly what this defense needs and getting our guy is more important on a team capable of making a deep run then worrying about perfect value. Swearinger is surprisingly strong, rangy, fluid and most importantly not afraid to lay the wood. He may not be able to move Burnett back over to SS, where I feel he is better but I don't think it's a stretch to say D.J can play FS. Great pickup early in the second for this team.

2nd Round B

Stedman Bailey WR West Virginia

With the departure of both Driver and Jennings, finding another target for Arod to keep him happy moves up the needs list. Bailey won't be much of a factor on the outside early (until he is capable of running MM's route tree), however he and Cobb on the inside could be absolute hell for teams to scheme for very early on. Stedman is a good hands catcher, shows good open field vision and has a ton of ability in the open field to pick up YAC. I hope we can resign Jones, but if we can't Bailey will help.

3rd Round

Johnathan Franklin RB UCLA

I've used Franklin in previous mocks, and I will probably use him more often as well. He isn't that thick, but he is very tough and willing to get physical for a smaller back. He also has extremely deceptive quickness and pretty good vision as well. He's well worth a 3rd round pick.

4th Round A

Brian Schwenke C California

Schwenke has become more popular in mocks around here, and rightfully so. He has shown ability both in a power scheme, but also fits our zone scheme as well. EDS surprised me last year but he's never going to be a top C and finding someone to push him is a priority. Schwenke should do that.

4th Round B

Tyler Bray QB Tennessee

Bray could be a first rounder if he wasn't a bit of a headache. He has a great arm, but lacks polish. Insert Mac's QB school. We could see a big turn-around on him if A-Rod were to go down and Bray is given time to show what he has in the future. Hopefully get us more then Flynn did. I like B.J Coleman, but he's a bit of an unknown and Harrell is awful.

4th Round C

Nick Kasa TE Colorado

Kasa moved from Defensive End to Tight End before his senior season at Colorado, and showed some serious potential as a pass catcher at the position. He obviously will need some time to grow, but another year of Finley and a couple NFL off seasons could do him a lot of good. TE may be a 1st round need next year, however he has the most potential of any prospect that will be left on the board at this point (in my opinion).

5th Round

Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech

Depth guard draftee who is a perfect for the ZBS and gives us much needed depth on the inside. Cant go wrong in the 5th with that. Moves very well for a man his size and has room to improve.

6th Round

Lonnie Pryor FB Florida State

With the loss of Kuhn, finding a competent FB is a good idea. I wouldn't mind D.J Williams there, but Pryor is the next Marcel Reese to me. Moves well, willing blocker both in the run and pass, also can make a play with the ball and has solid hands for a FB. I would love him in the 6th, maybe a 5th rounder however.

7th Round

Montori Hughes NT Tennessee-Martin

Hughes Probably could have went much higher this year if he hadn't been kicked off the Tennessee team earlier in his career. In the 7th, he's worth a risk. Raji is a terrific NT but needs a snap off here and there and Hughes offers just that. Could develop into a good spell option if his past is behind him. If not, cut your ties and admit your mistake.

Brandon Williams is projected to be a 2nd round pick. No way he's last til the 7th.

I'm curious to see how Stedman runs. I really like him and think he might end up being a good value pick due to the depth of the position this year.

Isn't Brandon Williams like a second day guy, not a seventh round pick?

I usually see him in like the third round in mocks, and the combine is only going to help him.

My bad, the site I was using had Williams listed as a 7th. Ill switch him out with another NT prospect that should go late.

gave it a B.

i'd rather have Williams than the running back. i see our offense much like the eagles, running backs are an after thought, so drafting one that high isn't high on my priorities.

the fourth round QB seems to high as well to many holes to fill.

i like the IDEA of Seymour but just not sure how realistic it is with TTs history. he would definitely shore up the missing spot left by Jenkins. hey it worked once signing out of Oakland so I say get some hot chick to blow on the dice and roll em.

I don't like the trade at all, no reason to trade back to only pick up another 4th. I see that a too risky of a proposition.

Not overly fond of this draft, I'm not sold on the Center from Cali like so many people are mocking us, we need a bigger body there. He does seem like a gamer though.

This draft doesn't address our OT position early at all, I think it needs to get addressed earlier than we did.

Not fond of taking a WR, so early. Whomever we pick there is only going to be our 4th, 5th receiver at best.

Too high for Swearinger and Bailey IMO. I might be ok w/ DJ at our original 2nd, but no the one you traded for. I also think DL is a much bigger need and should be addressed well before the 7th. Maybe switch out Bray for a DL.

There are others much higher on DJ than me, so I can't fault you, but I can't say I think he's what we need.

No on the slot WR.

Franklin yes, Schwenke yes

QB is not a 4th round need for me, and Bray is a brat.

Kasa's not a great receiver, and his athleticism and potential is not enough to push him into the 4th IMO. He has a lot of accrued minor injuries too. There are too many guys just plain better than he is.

Don't like taking a pure Guard prospect, we already have Barclay for depth there and we still can scoot EDS over if need be.

FB is a waste of a pick IMO.

Why not, its the 7th.
