Capers, who just finished his first season as the Packers' defensive coordinator, was named coordinator of the year by the publication in a vote conducted by 53 current NFL head coaches and league executives. No. 23 it is With the Packers' season ending on Sunday in Arizona, they now know where they will be slotted in the first round of this year's draft. The four teams that lose in the Wild Card round get the No. 21-24 picks, with the Bengals (10-6) at No. 21, the Patriots (10-6) at No. 22, the Packers (11-5) at No. 23, and the Eagles (11-5) at No. 24. Green Bay will select ahead of Philadelphia because the Packers had a weaker strength of schedule than the Eagles this season. The last time the Packers had the No. 23 overall pick was in 1976 when they selected tackle Mark Koncar. This year's draft is switching to a three-day format this year as opposed to the two-day setup used in the past. The first round will be held on Thursday, April 22, beginning at 6:30 p.m. (CT), with the second and third rounds on Friday, April 23, starting at 5:30 p.m. (CT). The final four rounds will be conducted on Saturday, April 24, beginning at 9 a.m. (CT). Injury updates Head Coach Mike McCarthy said there currently aren't any players on the roster that are scheduled to have offseason surgeries. "I had an opportunity to meet with Dr. Pat McKenzie today," McCarthy said. "We've had a number of players over the last 48 hours and we'll continue this week with scans and so forth. But we do not have any surgeries set for the offseason. "There's a couple guys, there will be some discussion. But relatively, coming out of the game, we feel pretty good the way we came out of the game." Linebacker Jeremy Thompson, who was sidelined for the latter part of the season due to a sprained neck sustained in a Dec. 4 practice, is continuing to seek medical advice on his injury, according to McCarthy. McCarthy said center Jason Spitz, who underwent back surgery on Nov. 11 and missed the final 10 games, is making progress. "He's definitely turned the corner," McCarthy said. "If you talk to Jason, he's here working out, and he's not all the way back, but he's getting close. We're definitely hopeful. He's played good football for us in the past, and I look for him to that. "Once again, he's not fully cleared and he's not ready to go, but we definitely feel very strong about he'll be able to be fully recovered from his injury." Linebacker Aaron Kampman, who sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 11 and had surgery on Dec. 4, is ahead of his schedule on his rehab. Kampman will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. "I had a long talk with Aaron yesterday as far as how his season went and his future," McCarthy said. "That's what we're doing, we're going through all of the information, continue to gather it and so forth. We'll watch his rehab, which will be a big part of it. "He is off the charts as far as where he is at in his rehab. It's pretty remarkable how he has responded in coming back from his surgery so fast. Those are all the things that we'll look at." Defensive end Justin Harrell, who missed the entire season due to a back injury, is making progress as well, according to McCarthy. "He is going to be here full-time," McCarthy said. "I met with him yesterday. He is close. He is getting close to being fully recovered. It's just like any time you come back from a back injury. "There are definitely come targets that he is going to have to hit throughout the offseason, but he is doing very well in the weight room and the rehab part of it. But he is going to be here full-time." Source Congrats to Charles Woodson and Capers! I would have never guessed Capers would have been honored. I think it's safe to say Woodson will be safely ours for a while...Biggest news in the off season would be the signing of Aaron Kampman again!
