I'd move OLB a little higher up the list. I like Zombo and Walden, but i think those guys are nothing but rotation guys. The biggest thing i fear with the loss of Jenkins is more teams are going to double up on Matthews. With a good outside rusher opposit him it could do wonders for their rush d. Hopefully Mike Neal can stay healthy.
Having said that Ingram and torey Smith are my top two guys. Smith would give them a very nice dpeth threat as well as some kickoff return ability which i'd like as well. Brooks Reed had a workout witht he Pack today and by all accounts in high on 'Kevin Greene's list.
I agree with you on the state of the team. Packers have so many different ways they could go with this pick. Depending on what happens i could see them trading down too. if guy's like Mallet and/or Lockler are available when the Pack are ont he board I could see teams making calls.

yeah I have to believe that Ingram is nothing but a pipe dream at this point unless TT trades up. Belichik loves the kid so he wont get past NE as one example.
As for OLB, I understand what you are saying and the loss of Jenkins could really hurt unless Neal does step up...and I think that McCarthy is counting on that exact thing. Walden and Zombo have earned a chance to return and compete for starting spots, and with the improved play of Hawk (finally) and Nick Barnett (if he is back) Desmond Bishop, Brandon Chillar and Brady Popinga, I think the LB core is pretty solid though they will draft one for sure.
i know the Packers don't run a true West Coast offense, but that is, IMO, because they haven't had that one RB who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Would love them to pick up a guy like that. One bad day in January when the wind is howling could sink another run unless they address the running/short game...of course a return of Jermichael Finley will help that as well.
And finally...they have to get another OL...Clifton isnt any younger, and Colledge is really iffy. Sitz, Bulaga and Wells are as solid as it gets but you can see a possible weakness there.
