If I was running the draft rooms in Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota...

The last few weeks at OBOD have been dedicated entirely to discussing the upcoming draft as it pertains to the Green Bay Packers.

Makes sense – this is a Packers’ blog, after all.

But there are three other teams in the NFC North, of course, and we’re going to kick off our draft week coverage – seriously, [...]

OBOD Mock Draft: The sequel

Now that we are roughly 12 days into free agency, it seemed like the perfect time to run an updated mock draft.

(Plus, as you likely know, we LOVE doing mock drafts.)

Most of the “big fish” free agents have signed their respective deals and, as a result, some teams’ draft plans have changed. Our new mock has [...]

A look at the NFC North's busy weekend

Friday morning, I provided a brief look at what the other three NFC North teams had been doing in free agency up to that point.

Report: Ryan Pickett to be franchised if new deal not reached by [...]

Breaking down Packers vs. Browns

This one’s for you, Corey Williams.

Oh, you don’t remember Corey Williams? It’s okay – I can see why. He’s no one special.

Williams, in case you’ve forgotten, was a pretty good young d-tackle for the Packers awhile back. In 2006 and 2007 combined, he had 14 sacks.

The team, after being unable to reach agreement on a [...]

The Brian Brohm Conundrum

After trading defensive tackle Corey Williams and trading out of the end of the first round in the 2008 draft, Ted Thompson armed himself with three second-round picks, not a bad scenario for a team that was an overtime away from the Super Bowl.

While not a big area of need, the selection of Jordy Nelson [...]
