Who should be the 1st pick tomorrow?
Poll To Follow.
Maybe he'll trade it away.
I like Cunningham here. I think King will be the pick though.
Suspects would be Kevin King, Forrest Lamp, Dalvin Cook, Cam Robinson, Quincy Wilson, Tyus Bowser, Malik McDowell, Zack Cunningham
Jesus Christ changed water into wine.
Ted Thompson changes wine into water.
Upset about Reuben Foster, woodbuck?
Bo Jackson?
TRADE DOWN; don't want the 6th best CB here or a second tier LB. The value left when Foster was drafted
or
If there is one there draft an elite RB
I like Zach Cunningham from Vandy, but I also like Chidobe Awuzi from Colorado. It just depends on which level of the defense they think needs the biggest boost. Cunningham may be able to help create 3rd and long, but others want a CB who can help defend receivers in 3rd and long.
Chidobe Awuzie, Tim Williams, Forrest Lamp, or Calvin Cook.
I'd say Cook first - if they're okay with the character issues. That's a big if though.
Throw King, Cunningham, and Border into that mix... lots of good players available.
I'm not upset about the Packers not getting Foster and Peppers, and only slightly about T.J. Watt. Peppers is a bust waiting to happen, and Foster is an injury risk as well as possibly overrated, coming from such an overall great defense. I've never been part of the "in Ted we trust" crowd, but I think he is doing all right so far in this draft by what he has not done.
We need to get a top flight edge rusher and a top quality cover Corner with our two second round picks. Ted had better not stray from this. I picked Jordan Willis in the poll. Both Cunningham and Bowser - the two primary alternatives IMO - are, if you can believe the stats given, both undersized and not very fast. The Corner I have my eye on is Rasul Douglas, who is not in the poll, and may still be available with our late Second Round pick.
Trading down wouldn't be too bad either, given the probable offers we might get before tonight as well as having some of the people who seem best suited for the Packers to draft being rated a little lower than where we are picking.
Me either Tex; I really wanted Watt and it's no surprise Pitt jumped at him cause IMO he's a step up from what's left.
With that being said, I'm fine with the 6th best CB, the top OG, an ILB who is better than the much we have now, a RB, or a second tier edge rusher.
Ted needs to get a serious offer to trade out of this IMO or we should take the pick
I don't want a 5th round draft pick or lower to move out of this pick
He's not good at fleecing other teams on draft day deals but on this one he needs to fleece somebody or take his BPA
The more I mull this over the more I think he trades down again and picks from these players
Obi Melifonwu, Budda Baker, Quincy Wilson, Kevin King, forrest Lamp or Joe Mixon
How pissed will this board be if he goes guard/rb with the two picks?
I'm betting TT does some deals (yes, plural) and walks away from the 2nd Rnd with King or Awuzie and Kamara or Mixon. He'll draft an OG and a DL with the extra picks he gets from the deals. Our pass rush guy at this point might end up being Derek Rivers, who is pretty darn good.
I think he'll take Lamp, but I really want Mixon.
