NFL Green Bay Packers 2023

Looking forward to lost all the guys I still like, R1 was definitely weird. Still meh on LVN but it’s not even close to the worst pick imo.

Again they move up to select a player who likely would have still been there in the third round.

Haha, that is quite unfair for this year at least. He projects to be better in the NFL than college, still pretty young and all that good stuff. I wouldn't have done it, but I don't hate it either. On the draft industry consensus board compiled by PFN he was #17, on their own board he was #14. The Draft Network had him in the late 20's I think, but I don't like their rankings anyway. Also it might be related that the Patriots traded back after the Packers picked him, generally the Pats and Packers seem to like similar players. I'd have picked Broderick Jones, JSN or tried a trade back for Kincaid. Maybe even Gonzalez.

I'm excited for day two for sure. The first round was all kinds of wonky, there were only 17 guys at the draft and not even all of them got picked. :D That also means there are lots of prospects left that could have been first rounders (this year) as well.

Here some guys per position:

TE (highly likely on day two): Mayer, Musgrave, Washington, LaPorta, Kraft, maaaaybe Kuntz in the third because he's a freak athlete.
WR: I'd love Jalin Hyatt, otherwise IDK. Wouldn't surprise me if they trade up for him btw.
CB: Obviously Porter Jr. still there, I don't know the others that much, but Packers are always good for a CB pick and a bunch of them are ranked high and are still available.
Safety: now I'd give Branch a shot, they also met with Quan Martin who could be there at 78.
Edge/DT (not likely, but who knows...): Hall, Adebawore, White etc. Lots of Edges still available in general; Benton maybe?
OL: Bergeron, Mauch, that center Schmitz (because Myers kinda sucks so far)

I don't really care about RB, if they like one they are going to pick him somewhere lol.

Fully expecting at least two playmakers today, one TE and one WR. I'd love Musgrave plus Jalin Hyatt, take a Safety or O-Liner in the third.

My somewhat realistic wish would be Hyatt, Musgrave and Martin. Or go and get Mayer.
 
Even in his highlight clips he didn’t look like anything special. I straight up don’t like picking any players that are projects so early on in the draft. Late in the draft? Sure. Low risk high reward. Also don’t see this guy being a force if he has to line up on the LoS given his size in a 3-4. If we’re going the Preston smith route and having him drop back into coverage as a LB, then I look forward to him getting torched over and over. Just doesn’t feel right having two larger LBs that can’t do anything but pass rush.
 
The Packers are giving me Al Davis vibes. Obsessed with athletes. LoL. Football isn't played on paper. This isn't track.

RAS is important, but playing the game and having intangibles is just as important.

Ahhh, drafting for potential and the "future." The Packer's Way.

They have to look to the future because they are in cap hell this season with Rodgers $41 million dead cap and the players they lost because they couldn't pay them.

My thoughts on drafting is that first round picks should be players who can start. Not as important at the end of the first round but at 13, you need a starter.
 
The more i read about this kid, the more the pick makes a lot of sense. High motor plus otherworldly athleticism is a very likeable combination.

If he's anything like Gary I'll take it every day.
 
well if they don't pick up Washington at the very least this is total bullshit.
 
Luke Musgrave in the green and gold. I'm pretty hard on Gute, but he is slowly redeeming himself. Watson and Doubs last year, now Musgrave this year. One more WR today would be the icing on the cake.
 
LOL. trust the process I guess. they probably gave that pick away for nothing.

Agreed, but Washington is a much better blocker than pass catching TE right now. He could blossom and become Gronk 2.0, or he could be a high end version of Big Dog.

I'm more than happy with the pick as it stands tho.
