Trades out of the first, and loads up on 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks via several trades both down and up.

TT won a SB trading down so maybe that’s the path to glory. I read this Cooper guy snapped his fibula in practice! Maybe the koolaid chuggers here need to quit listening to ESPN. The 25 pick is almost 2nd pretty much so trade that shit or they might end up taking a QB.Originally Posted by Patler

Have I ever given pre-draft opinions about players, or who GB should draft?
I have been of Red's current opinion since long before he saw the light. I spend virtually no time thinking about who they might take and read very little about scouts' opinions until after the draft. Then I read about the 8 to 12 or so actual draft picks they've made and don't worry about the others.
With that background, "Nobody" is the only prediction I can make, and there is a history of them emphasizing the accumulation of midround picks.
Isn't vicariously living through a bunch of athletes a giant waste of time by definition?? As is vicariously living through a GM. But its what we do. We are fans.
Frozen, you are right about Gutes, but your TT description is off. TT traded up for Clay, and often in the middle rounds. He traded back often as well. Gutes is nearly a TT clone to be honest, but he is more aggressive in FA overall. But again, people forget TT signed Pickett, Woodson and Peppers.

TT was often misunderstood, as you suggest. He also signed a number of lesser name free agents who contributed a lot, like Letroi Guion who ended up starting most of the year Raji was injured and Brandon Chiller who was maybe the best coverage LB the Packers have had in a while. Chiller had a very prominent role for a number of years until shoulder and knee injuries pretty much did him in.
When the draft was just two days, he said one time that he felt early R4 picks were very valuable starting the second day, because there was time to reconsider how the draft was going and players maybe overlooked in day 1.

I thought I was the only rat who appreciated Brandon Chiller. Its nice to see someone else noticed he was a solid pro.

I think he trades too. But it's more likely up than down, that is if there's someone Gute really likes. They need quality, not quantity this draft, except the OL which could use a few extra bodies.
And a move up, I think, would be for a tackle (less likely) or CB. So, I'll shoot for the starts and say Quinyon Mitchell is the pick.

In his pre-draft presser, Guter mentioned he'd love to have thirteen or fourteen picks in this draft, just to increase the level of competition and give the team more chances to find good players.
So we shall soon see.

His brief history is to move up when he feels they are close. He could be blowing smoke, he could be serious, who knows. I would love to move back and end up with 4 2nds and 1 3rd.

This could be the Packers opportunity to trade down from 25.Daniel Jeremiah

To summarize my last 5 phone calls- everyone is moving up for an OT.

Except I think if there is an OT available, we are drafting him.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Maybe. That's a coin flip in my opinion. The OT class is so strong there probably will be one worth drafting at 25.

I'd be ok with this, especially if some of those R2-4 picks were in 2025, when it's possible there's a better class of S, LB and RB.
Having extra Day 2 picks when they host the draft would be icing on the cake for Mark Murphy.
There simply might not be anyone at 25 who is worthy of a R1 pick and they could get same value plus another pick by trading down.
Then again, I'm always on the trade down bandwagon and think about how fun having something like 6 R2 picks would be.
