Four of them are LB's.  Lets hope one of them turns out to be the next James Harrison.  Not huge news but you never know ... Sam Shields ... CB 5-11 184 Miami  Shields, 23, played in 48 career games for the Hurricanes in his four seasons. He spent the first three seasons at wide receiver before moving to cornerback in, where he started 10 of 12 games. Voted UM's Special Teams Player of the Year in 2008, he earned the team's Most Improved Player Award this past season.  I like this guy.

Packers, Eagles have expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range ... stedtfeld got this conversation going with a Fan Post. I spent most of last night trying to figure out who they might move up and draft. I'd been surprised this offseason by how few mock drafts expected the Packers to target a pass rushing outside linebacker. It seemed like I've been one of the few to do so, but in the past day

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can turn 100% of our attention to the off-season and to the Packers' efforts to improve the team. As we have documented (and complained, and lamented, and ... you see where I'm going here), the Packers need help on the offensive line, especially at tackle. With Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher becoming unrestricted free agents this off-season, I feel that it's likely that one of them will be departing. Even if they both return for 2010, we need better depth and

Based on the way Thompson has treated veterans like CB Al Harris, WR Donald Driver, and RT Mark Tauscher since then, I don't think it's something Thompson would have done again. So it's great to see Sharper has proven Thompson wrong, and found his way back to the Super Bowl as a member of the Saints.
