If JSN is not there, let's trade down for day 2 capital and target Hyatt.
We have to go Van Ness @ 13 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
DRAFT TO PROTECT #8 TONIGHT OR JSN IT IS WITH HIS BUCKEYE BROTHER G DUB!
Packers should trade down if JSN is not there at 13. A convincing argument can be made to draft down even if JSN is there tbh we have alot of needs and getting a lower 1st round and another 2nd would make a ton of sense in this draft in particular.
With that being said I think the guy that is under rated the most in mocks is jordan Addison. In a perfect world we trade down and he is there to scoop up with an additional 2nd rounder.
Nolan Smith fits the sensibilities of drafting RAS CHARACTER AND VOCAL LEADER WHO CUTS THE CLOTH OF A DOG or trade down twice
Every mock I see says JSN is gone at 11 or 12.
Draft JSN, if he is not there trade back. Please dont reach for keion white
Selecting 1 player at P13 will only benefit us this yr if that guy plays well. Maybe that's JSN or an Edge, otherwise, why add a future OT whom will not play this yr? Skoronski, etc, may be available but would he play this yr? No. I'm sure there are no O-linemen in this draft who'd beat out any of our current O-line personnel. I desire immediate help on the field. As such, I do hope we trade down 1-2x in R1 to add 3 more picks in the top 50-60 players! We need lots of help!
Or, get P21, etc, n then move down again n pick up even more top 50-60 guys! And do not throw away our R7 guys to get some future guy whom will sit on the bench for 2 yrs. High-value guys through R7…
Gute absolutely pushed Rodgers out. You don't trade up in the 1st round for a backup project and then refuse to invest in offense when your Superbowl window is open.
So I will help you out here.
The Packers picks in no order
Will Mcdonald Iowa State Edge
Darnell Washington Georgia TE
AT Perry Wake Forest WR
Josh Whyle Cincinnati TE
Jaq Roy LSU DT
Clay Tune ( my favorite QB in the whole class not name AR) Houston
Josh Ryland KIcker Maryland
Jammie Robinson S Florida State
Hunter Luepke RB/TE Hometown kid comes home only because I love him. I doubt the Packers pick this guy but they totally should.
Quan Martin or Sydney Brown and Brown is miles better than Martin and I think the Packers should draft both of the Browns.
I know you love players who are not NFL ready. You would rather spend most of the players rookie contract making them into NFL players instead of drafting slightly more mature prospects like Will McDonald who is going to be one of the true steals of this class. Why you are calling him to old seems crazy to me. How young do you want them? In diapers? Calling Wyatt "An Old" and pretending he has not shown enough to be very excited about him is also your own personal problem and that is doubled when you say the same crap about McDonald. The Packers draft last season was the best I have lived through in my 25+ years of professional scouting and it was not because they were "Your guys" Sorry those guys you are calling "Your guys" were a lot of our guys and to say you were the guy who discovered Romeo Doubs is laughable. I mocked him to the Packers during the 2021 season and wrote a lot about him publicly and privately so you are not the guy who first discovered Romeo and you should never say that again.
TRADE DOWN if possible, we need a ton of players. There's no have to have players in this draft, no home run players. That being said there's tons of potential in this top 100 players. More picks more chance to get good quality players
#15 Wright OT
#42 LaPorta TE
#45 Hyatt WR
#78 Benton DL
That's my dream top 4. With Rice, Uzomah, Tuli and Kraft as honorable mentions
Jsn, Mazi Smith, Darnell Washington, edge in 3rd round. If no jsn take a tackle. If no tackles trade back get edge and take a wr in 4th round
IMO Hyatt will have a better career than JSN. I come here to know who to cross off my board. You not liking Van Ess makes me love him more. BTW Peter your adamant prediction of Davis being part of the Rodgers trade is sloppy work as one trip to spotrak says it can't happen and yet you persisted. Why?
Rodgers certainly looked like he didn't want to be there all year. He played so Love couldn't take the decision to move on out of his hands
Don't sleep on the Bears drafting JSN at pick #9
Please no JSN at 13. He is too slow, always gets caught from behind. He even gets caught from behind on his highlights. Please no! Trade out of the 1st round and stack picks between rounds 2 thru 4.
The difference in fan reaction of the departures of Farve vs. Rogers is very telling. They L-O-V-E-D Farve, Rogers, meh.
Gute will trade down, and get at least a late 1st RD, 2nd RD, and possibly a 4th RD picked added.
As an Eagles fan, since the Ravens signed Lamar Jackson and don't need to draft an QB, then the Packers can draft an QB like Max Duggan to be the starting QB over Jordan Love since Max Duggan has an better cannon of throwing of the football than Jordan Love. But Max Duggan can run the football. So I see the Packers drafting Max Duggan in the 1st round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Jordan Love should just be the backup. Max Duggan in an Packers jersey to be sold in stores to play against Bears QB Justin Fields, Lions QB Jared Goff and Vikings QB Kirk Cousins.
I hate the way we draft bro we need a wr
Andddddd we got van ness idk if I should be happy or disappointed
Van Ness hasnt even played a full Collage game, he would have been in the 2nd.
Why why why. 😢
Top edge picks were there.!
