Forget Konz…word is the Packers are HOT & BOTHERED for his teammate Kevin Zeitler. He is an improvement over Wells as a run blocker…assuming of course he can transition to the pivot spot in the NFL as some are projecting. I see the Pack tackle a DT/DE like Brandon Thompson (Clemson) at pick #28, then swapping picks in the 2nd, 3rd and possibly 4th rounds with another team to move up to the top of the 2nd round to draft Zeitler.

Middle rounds I would look for Antonio Allen (SS South Carolina) and Shea McClellin (Boise DE/ OLB)…if they are smart with moving up or down boards strategically during the draft process. Also, assuming that TT has balls to grab better players even if it means leaving himself no picks in the later rounds. Of course, that’s doubtful.

Maybe Kontz’s crappy numbers at the combine will drop him out of the first round. I think it would be a stretch to take him anyways unless they can get him at a discount.

The problem with drafting Kontz is that you then are forced to draft a DE/OLB in the 2nd round.

Centers are typically cheaper in free agency than pass rushers. Therefore, I would still expect the Packers to sign a center in free agency and then use their 1st round pick on a pass rusher.

Jarett Bush isn’t necessary going to command a $3 mil a year contract. He might be a special teams ace, but he is still a back up DB.

Let the NFL free agent insanity begin!
