Official 2018 Packerrats Draft Contest

[Joemailman]

The Premise:

Pick 12 players you think the Packers might draft this year and what round you think they'll go in. Whoever racks up the most points, wins.

Scoring:

Points will be awarded according to the round the player was taken in, since predictions are proportionally more difficult in the later rounds. One additional point will be added if the round prediction is correct. For Example:

If you predict the Packers will take Marcus Davenport in the 1st round, and that happens, you get 2 points, 1 point for picking a 1st round pick, and 1 point for getting the right round.

If you predict the Packers will take Anthony Miller in the 2nd round, but the Packers take him in the 3rd round, you will get 3 points for getting a 3rd round pick, but will not get the extra 1 point for getting the round right.

Feel free to update your picks until the draft starts.

It's the best strategy when you have no idea what's going on...

D'oh! Forgot about him, and I even gave him the nickname.

[pbmax]

He wasn't at the combine according to one thing I found. Here is NFL Draft Scout (the maven, whatever the hell that is)

Arrion Springs, CB, Oregon (5-10, 208, 4.46)

[pbmax]

1 Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M
2 Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame
3 Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
3 Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, EDGE, Oklahoma
4 Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
4 Scott Quessenberry, OL, UCLA
4 Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
5 Deadrin Senat, DL, Wagner
5 Marquis Haynes, OLB, Mississippi
5 Chris Herndon, TE, Miami
6 Alex Cappa, OT, Humboldt State
7 Jamil Demby, OG, Maine

We are making a dramatic change:

1 Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M
3 Maurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa
3 Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
3 Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, EDGE, Oklahoma
4 Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
4 Scott Quessenberry, OL, UCLA
4 Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
5 Deadrin Senat, DL, Wagner
5 Marquis Haynes, OLB, Mississippi
5 Chris Herndon, TE, Miami
6 Alex Cappa, OT, Humboldt State
7 Jamil Demby, OG, Maine

If Ted was still in charge, he'd get him in the second. 6-2, 210, 4.46, we should all apologize for overlooking him.

He wasn't invited but had a nice pro day, ran 4.47. His hands are a weakness with the dropsies but he seems to always be in the right position as evidenced by the number of breakups he had. Think he has a chance to be pretty good.

[woodbuck27]

Round 1 :

OT - Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame
OT/OG - Connor Williams, Texas
ILB - Rashaan EVANS - Alabama

Round 2

CB - Carlton Davis, Auburn
CB - Donte Jackson, LSU
WR - Dante Pettis, Washington

Round 3

WR - Michael Gallup, Colorado St
OLB - Darius Leonard, S Carolina State
WR - Equanimeous St. Brown, Notre Dame

Round 4

CB - Tony Brown, Alabama
EDGE - Trevon Young, Louisville
EDGE - Jeff Holland - Auburn

He was on a list of guys that visited the Packers. I think he is a terrible football player.

He was on a list of guys that visited the Packers. I think he is a terrible football player.

Yet you guessed they'd pick him. That's peak cynicism!

I didn't watch one minute of film on the guy, until after the Packers drafted him.
