    Physically, arm talent, throwing off playform, running for first downs. He’s everything physically, but I’m not convinced he has it upstairs.

    He’s sending the message he absolutely doesn’t want to go to Chicago…where QB’s go to die.
    See Trubisky, Cutler, et al.

    It’s been pulled off before. John Elway.

    Elway had baseball and the Yankees, this guy has another year of College ball and the NIL $$’s that go with it.

    Good golly I’m glad we ain’t where they are.

    I watched a full Caleb game. In the NFL you have to throw with anticipation. If you wait till a guy is open, he’s rarely open by the time the ball gets there.

    I didn’t see one anticipation throw. Not one.

    He can move around and throw off platform. Moves better than Love, but no better throwing off platform and I saw zero anticipation throws. I doubt his movement is going to be as dynamic when he’s facing guys who run 4.5s and 4.6s at 275 lbs.

    I’ll try to watch another game, but the core aspect of being able to throw a guy open, the one quality all the great ones have, I haven’t seen it. I’m not so sure he’s as good as he thinks he is.

    Gute wasting Jordan Love's prime by not drafting a WR in the 1st round.

    MLF wasting Love's prime by playing Rodgers last year lol

    Seriously, I still think they go heavy on OL, RB, and S in the draft. If a top corner falls to them in R1 they could even do that. I don't trust Stokes or Jaire to stay healthy anymore, and Nixon is ok in the slot but you can do better there too.

    I think in the 2025 draft they should look at drafting another WR in the mid rounds, though. Watson/Doubs will be in their last year, and I don't think they will be able to keep all these young guys. This year has really shown how important it is to have more than one above average receiver -- it's too easy for teams to take away the first read or bracket a WR1. Failing to continue finding and developing a pipeline or quality receiving talent will hurt an offense (and the cap) long term.

    I guess QB, OT and WR go pretty deep. Not the ideal deepest positions for our squad.

    S, CB and IOL are also decent from what I read.

    S and an elite slot corner would be nice!

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Rasheed and Tom are really good. I won’t complain about an OT, but it won’t help us much for a couple years, until we have to pay both Tom and Rasheed.

    And it would help a lot with injury.

    The trajectory of Rasheed Walker is top 5 LT. I don’t think there’s much of a chance we could do any better. Already at 23 years old, neither in his physical or technical prime, he’s a top 10-15 LT. He’s only getting better. He’s at the same point Bakh was at this age. He’s a great player in the making. I have no idea why people want to replace him. I said the same thing aboht Bakh when everyone was trying to get Spriggs in the lineup over him.

    The Packers are so god damned good at drafting OL. Pluck 2 in the 3rd and 4th rounds and use the premium pick on a position you’re not as good at filling.

    OT and CB would seem to be best bets at 25, based on the strength of the draft.

    If we went in the draft and took OT, Edge and DL with our first three picks, even though we don’t “need” them, I wouldn’t mind a bit. Rotating talented DL and edge players is never something that holds you back from anything.

    Just off my impression from the angles we get on the tv copy, it looked like Rasheed locked down his side. And Tom is kind of a lock down guy too. Who knows how many guys we can afford to pay though. So yeah, any good OL is always welcome. Same for DL. Honestly, same with edge. There are some spots you can never have enough.

    Slot corner and safety are big needs though.

    We can use a good player at pretty much any position except QB, long snapper, and punter.

    For example, of a good WR drops to them, I say you still draft him. If this offense can make Bo Melton look like a starter, think about what another more talented WR will do.

    S, RB, CB, OT. I don't think they will go RB in round one, but Jones' health was a problem this year and he is getting old. Getting a good one in round 2-3 would be a good investment.
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    There are no 1st round RB's this year. The other 3 positions are legitimate possibilities in 1st round. OT and CB better groups than S.
