Every fantasy team general manager should make sure he or she include players from this years Green Bay Packers on their draft board. We are now at the time of the year when football fans have no mini camps, no training camp news and no game week news conferences to get our football fix. So, now is the time to get to the war room and start planning your fantasy team draft.

I figure I will take my own advice and begin my player research and where I can get the best player in each round of my up coming draft night. After looking through several magazines which have just hit the local magazine racks I discovered several Green Bay Packers who will be a great draft choices this year. First I will state the best of the Packers for any fantasy team, quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers could be looking at throwing 40 to 50 touchdowns to an outstanding group of receivers.

Green Bay Packers Video: Randall Cobb Interview & Packers 2012 Analysis
Randall Cobb does a nice job in this interview, butI have to laugh at the poll in the second half of this video. The question was “What is the Packers biggest weakness?” 46% of responders said running back, 29% secondary, 17% pass rush, 7% offensive line. So the Packers’ pass rush was just a minor problem, huh? Shaking my head…

Green Bay Packers: Reason for Concern
What could anyone possible have to worry about?
Green Bay is fielding roughly the same team it did last year when they went 15-1. They still have arguably the best quarterback in the league. And most of the nation has already penciled them in for the top of the NFCN again. Now it only remains to see what they have to do to make a run at another Super Bowl... Right?

VIDEO: AJ. Hawk Knocks Man Into Pond
SantosAJ. Hawk must be getting restless in the off-season. It is no secret that there are few things that bring more joy to a linebacker’s life than to knock someone on to the ground. However, usually that person is getting paid to be knocked to the ground by you. That was not the case for this poor guy.
What started out as what seems to be a friendly game of football with a real...
So Clay Matthews Wasn’t A Tiny Thor Kid?
Over the weekend, one of them innernet wags tweeted this picture of a kid with a lush, blond flowing mullet to Clay Matthews, who retweeted it with a vague jokey comment, leading some to believe that the image is actually of a young Claymaker.

Who The Heck Is Herb Taylor?
There are plenty of little-known rookies on the Packers’ current roster, but diehard fans know plenty about all the returning veterans. Well, almost all the returning veterans.

Receivers Need To Stop The Drops
Aaron Rodgers has completed 66.2% of his throws since 2009. That number becomes even more impressive when you consider how many passes his receivers have dropped. James Jones and Donald Driver rank in the bottom seven of the 61 wide receivers who had at least 125 catchable balls thrown their way over the past three years. According to Pro Football Focus, Jones has dropped 20 of 139...
