Yup, that's a solid list of guys. I personally would pass on Payton and Tampa but for me, the rest are solid. They might need to take a LB at #41 because things at LB drop off quickly. I like Colson better than Cooper but either would be fine. I've read some things that the Packers really...

Hopefully Gute got it right. Maybe Morgan can stick at OT, but I'm just a little skeptical. Just like I was skeptical about Graham Barton, because his physical measurables are nearly identical to Morgan. On the plus side, both are physical clones of David Bahktiari, so maybe it'll work out...

Listened to a podcast that brought up a good point. Expect the Packers to reach somewhat on LB's. At safety they don't really have to take a guy in the first 2 days because there are still options in free agency if things don't fall right. Kind of the same thing at OL and RB. At LB there is...

1 - Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama, CB 2A - Edgerrin Cooper, Texas A&M, LB 2B - Marshawn Kneeland, W.Mich, Edge 3A - Kiran Amagadjie, Yale, OT 3B - Cole Bishop, Utah, Safety 4 - Ray Davis, Kentucky, RB 5 - Kitan Oladapo, Oregon State, Safety 6A - Khristian Boyd, Northern Iowa, DL 6B -...

A whole line full of Nelsons - Jack, Barrett, and now Leyton. He should be in the mix on the depth chart right away. They have starters, but are thin at several back-up positions. Nice get!

I feel Van Dyke will start unless he's just horrible in fall camp. If Van Dyke isn't named the starter he'll leave the team immediately. He's not going to use his final year of eligibility to sit on the bench. If he leaves, the room looks really bare. You'd have Locke with 4-5 starts...

I think their plan should revolve around how they feel about their line overall. If they think they can go into the season with a line of Walker, Jenkins, Myers, Rhyan, and Tom, then they can probably stay put and take the best guys they can get in Rds 2-4. The higher rated guys are more ready...

I get why they didn't fire him - for all the reason's Mark just listed above. I just don't get the point of "extending" him. Let him work for a year under his existing deal. He's got several years left on the old deal and kids coming in through the portal aren't worried about their coach...

I get they weren't in a position to buy him out, but extending him only makes this worse financially going forward. Now the buyout probably goes back up and they're stuck with him even longer.

The Dillard signing this late makes me wonder. Either the Packers are keying on positions other than OT with the first 2-3 picks or they are thinking a guy like Mims or Guyton are what they want and they are concerned about both of them having some limitations to be able to play as rookies. I...

Biggest domino to fall yet - Chucky Hepburn entering the portal. Gard better hope that Freitag is ready to play significant minutes as a freshman. There is some talk radio speculation out there that Chucky and his buddy Frankie Fidler, the kid Gard was going after in the portal are a package...

I agree they have other needs and that CB has numbers, but it's kind of a complex thing for the Packers. Biggest roster open spots are S, LB, and OL. There is no safety worth a first. There is no LB worth a first, IMO. When you get to #25 in most mocks the clean OT's are gone and you have...

Agreed. If you do a 2-3 year extension for Clark, with a reasonable out in the last year it's fine. You are young at DL and don't have to extend any of them other than Slaton until spring/summer of 2027. Plus I'm guessing that in the next 2-3 drafts they'll add 2 more DL guys to stay young.

Read that as well. Also have seen and read some credible trade scenarios for the Packers. - team like the Seahawks who only has two picks in the top-100 might be interested in trading #16 for #25 & #58 (there are a couple of other teams like this - Dolphins and Saints come to mind) - teams...

Yup, no surprise. He was for sure behind Van Dyke and Locke. He was probably going to get passed by the freshman Mettauer who's an early enrollee. That would have put him back at the #4 spot again in the fall. Real shame, because if he could put it all together, his athletic ability could...

Was listening to a podcast this morning and one of the points that was brought up with regards to o-line is that Bob McGinn has Tanor Bortolini in his top-55, I only bring it up because Bortolini seems like a Packers "type". He's been talked about elsewhere in this thread as more of a 4-5th...

DeJean will be a good player, but with the new defense, is he a fit? Those Iowa guys tend to play a lot more zone than man and if Hafley is truly going to play a lot more man, I'd be kinda worried about his fit. Look no further than Josh Jackson, who to be fair was not as good an athlete as...

True. The other thing that is often "assumed" is that the media has consensus among themselves. I see pretty significant differences in big boards and mocks all the time. If you look around enough you find considerable variation among the media. The same is also true between teams. When...

Haddad being gone is not such a surprise. I think he recently got a tOSU offer so no surprise he'd decide to eventually go with the in-state team. Pettaway bugs me a little more because it's part of an on-going pattern of losing too many in-state kids.

If they like Cooper at LB I'm all for a small move up for him. I read and hear the same thing about there not being room for 11 guys on the roster, but those same folks will complain about the lack of depth or about mediocre UDFA's making the team. When you look at the 2-deep+ (not to mention...
