Brian Branch would be our best option at 15 most likely. For WR I like JSN but my pick would be a guy I could never see the packers taking… Jordan Addison the guy is a stud and is the best wr right out of the gate.
Gute is 100% gonna draft a 3rd round edge prospect in the first round and no one will be surprised
I love Kincaid I think he is the best TE in the draft and I strongly believe TE is are biggest need and we should get one in the 1st and if we get another 1 rounder if we don't get a TE I would be mad and also I'm a Packers fan and I live in Utah so a bit of bias
Big brain move would be take an offensive player and leave safety as is. When the defense performs poorly, get rid of Barry 😅. Then when he is gone, draft defense in next year's draft.
The theme of this year's pick is going to be piss off Aaron Rodgers, going to draft a WR for sure, lol
I would be excited if the Packers end up getting Micheal Mayer cuz that is a full on blocker the Packers can absolutely use. I would say the Packers are going with defense first round. It’s either going to be Brian Branch or Myles Murphy, maybe somehow Nolan Smith if he falls that far
At this point, given what we have seen out of Jordan Love so far and given how the rest of the team’s state is, we should consider getting Bryce Young, and have him battle it out with Love to see who is a better qb to lead our team to victory and be as good if not better than Rodgers. Because trust me, we don’t want to become the Colts and have 5 or more mediocre or terrible qbs take the helm if we stick with a qb who fails to meet expectations.
Hendon
Tom you're alright coming from a Bears fan !
Could get a great talent, probably will get someone graded in the third round
If they can nab a good run stopping DL in the first two rounds I will be happier. Safety, wideout, tight end, offensive line…yeah they need those but interior defenders are very limited in this draft so I would go after one early if the value is there. Would be cool to get BJ Ojulari in round 2 and add some speed and good tackling to the pass rush.
Brian Branch!! If you don’t get him then there are no safeties with his talent after the first round. You have justin jefferson, amon st brown, and now DJ moore in your division. Jesus!! Then get the best TE in the second round
I’ve thought about this a lot and I cannot nail down what I think they’ll do in the 1st. My go-to assumption is that it’ll be an edge, safety or O-lineman, but this could be the year they finally change things up and take a pass catcher. J-Love will definitely need more help and taking someone like JSN would be huge for him. I really doubt he’s there at 15, though, and I don’t think they’ll trade up and sacrifice draft capital to get him.
I think this year draft is special, cos we don't need to pick on our needs. No one expects that in upcoming season we will go to the super bowl. That's why we have the unique opportunity to pick BPA in every round with every pick. We have the opportunity to make crazy trade ups or trade downs. We can do everything. Go Pack Go! I believe in Gutti.
What do they do when BPA is Bijon Robinson….
Love watching these every draft season! Thanks, Tom!
Greg Jennings and James Jones was under 6’2. Cobb was under 6..so for y and z position packers look for 6’2 above. Slot guys packers go for 5’11 and above
Michael Mayer is my pick. He's the best of both worlds. He's a great blocker for Jones and the bowling ball.
Either get brian branch or WR love Jaxon and Jordan Addison
We can get TE in 2nd round
My dream scenario is trade back and take kincaid, hope for tank dell or Josh downs in the 2nd, followed by an edge/safety
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is slow but a great route runner- Go Buckeyes
O line or Defense for the 1st pick.
A guard would be the most entertaining. Packer fans would light up the internet with exasperation and then Gutey would be more stammeringly effusive of that pick than Jordan Love. "I…I…do [think we'll draft a good tight end] or [believe in our safety group] or [trust Joe Barry]. Gutey isn't the worst GM but his choice is never what the Packer fans hoped for.
I love the idea of drafting JSN, too, but I keep hearing about this chronic hamstring issue! I'd be cool with Zay Flowers as well if available.
I can't wait for your 7 round mock draft video. Hopefully, the Rogers trade is done before then for a better overall mockup.
You should watch Chris Simms breakdown on Dalton Kincaid. He says he’s better than hockenson and should and could be a top 10 pick. Has Travis kelce like upside. Simms raves about Watson before the draft last year too and said he’s his number 1 receiver and seems to be right about that
Hope they draft a WR like they drafted a QB, to spite themselves.
Murphy reminds me so much of Gary I can totally see the packers taking him
This is the situation where I hope they just take the best player avaliable. Personally I want Lukas Van Ness but I really seem him move up on draft boards so I'm not sure. Smith-Njiba is going to Houston with the 12th pick
Hoping for a trade down, there's not many 1st round players
Antonio Johnson out of Texas A&M is a fantastic safety and should be there in round 2
I have a gut feeling its Myles Murphy in the first for the Packers, personally I want Branch or JSN
Gamut
packers would love lukas van ness, that’s their guy
Packers will probably trade back
1st round safety
2nd round TE
Then a WR.
We have too many neeeds!!!!😢 jetts, send us your first pls!
I like AT Perry as a WR for the Packers!
TE, Tackle, EDGE
How about a QB? 😂
Packers should take JSN if he’s available .. but man there are some needs elsewhere that I wouldn’t be surprised they went with
Packer gonna do what they always do. Draft def players in the first round. But never in top 10 def for over a decade.
I want Darnell Washington if he drops enough
Praying we take JSN or Kincaid! Rly need another elite receiving weapon to help Love
Agree with your take on Kincaid. Could see us taking Meyer or Washington if we were to go TE
