Things Are Changing in the North

The Packers dominating the Bears was just the beginning of a week of change for the four teams of the former NFC Central Division, now called the NFC North.

The Bears $45 million man Mike Glennon has been benched after the former Buc turned the ball over 4 times to the punchless Packers defense, including two absolutely terrible overthrown interceptions. Glennon spent his first 4 seasons with the Bucs having started 18 of his first 19 games, but the past two years he has been a backup appearing in only 2 games.

Draft Day Two: What To Do?

It seems The Ted is ready to trade to out of the top pick of the second round and not knowing how far down the Packers will drop makes it a little hard to predict who the first Packers draft pick will be. I am thinking The Ted will still be looking for a pass rusher, a running back and a cornerback first, so let's look at what is left.

Draft Day One = A Trade and No Pick

On the first day of the 2017 draft The Ted pulled off his 30th draft day trade when he traded the 29th pick in the first round to the Browns for the first pick of the second round #33 and the first pick of the fourth round #108.

At the time of the trade the Browns had just picked safety Jabrill Peppers and the Falcons were on the clock with the 26th pick, which they traded up to get UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley.

At 27 the Bills drafted cornerback Tre'Various White from LSU with defensive end Taco Charlton going to the Cowboys and tight end David Njoku going to Browns with the Packers pick.

The next three picks were Wisconsin outside linebacker T.J. Watt to the Steelers; the Falcons traded up to take linebacker Reuben Foster from Alabama and the Saints on a pick they got from the Patriots picked Wisconsin offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk.

The trade was the right thing to do like I said yesterday. I feel all the players on the Packers draft list, except for maybe Watt, are still on the board.
