Official 2020 Packerrats Draft Contest

[Joemailman]

The Premise:

Pick 10 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 Kenneth Murray 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 Neville Gallimore 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.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't recall if I got in other years or not, but I did not recall the part about higher points for lower round picks - not that I'm complaining about it.

I'm awful at this contest. I just don't grind at the draft like I used to and 15 years ago I was too stupid so even grinding didn't help.

Not many ILBs and we need one. I should hit on one of those 5 damn it!

INTERSTING TIDBIT

No of the sports guys at JS online predict GB goes WR in round one. Most predicting Gute trades up

All feel Baltimore is going ILB and Tennessee is going OL.

So they feel like we're trading up with Seattle and grabbing a OL like Austin Jackson or a LB like Murray/Queen after we jump over those teams.

One predicted we trade back with the Colts and they pick Jordan Love, and then we take Jordan Brooks with our top pick in round 2

[jklowan]

"One predicted we trade back with the Colts and they pick Jordan Love, and then we take Jordan Brooks with our top pick in round 2 "

My dream scenario, I want 3 2nd rounders so we fill a few holes with top tier talent, maybe giving back a few late rounders to fill out the value dif

[HarveyWallbangers]

I would hate to trade up for Austin Jackson. There are a number of OTs at that point. No need to trade up. Watching Jackson vs. Epenesa was not pretty. Hopefully, it's just those guys speculating.

Agreed, trading up for a Austin Jackson or Murray would be a disaster.

And everyone says “Don’t Reach”. But It’s basically okay to “Reach” as long as it’s on some defensive combine warrior.

[Deputy Nutz]

If the Packers were to trade up these would be the players in my opinion would be worth it to trade up for

Henry Ruggs
Ceedee Lamb
Jerry Judy
Tristan Wirfs
Derrick Brown

[GB-Brandon]

I would have zero issue with any of those trade ups. Ruggs is the one I’d pull for if he makes it in the 20’s.

I really like Reagor but the more I dig into this Aiyuk kid I just really like. He definitely has the intangibles you look for. He is JC kid that never gave up just like Rodgers. I like it.

Could be a “Pot of Gold”

If we came away with Love and Brooks with our first 2 picks??

That would be nothing short of horrific.

Not close enough. If you don't drop somebody I'll remove Cephus from your list.:D

I'm gonna flex harder than trump after he beat the impeachment circus if I win!!! Yeah, I suck at this and it's pure luck if I win, but I cannot pass up a chance to gloat like I just won the heavyweight title!

Seeing I never win I should probably do that so we take him. Then again, Guters followed Ted. Ted Hated Badgers. That is prolly how Gute was trained

If only his first name had been Javelin, like my 7th rd pick :lol:

Throckmorton sounds like a gear made of stone in a 18th century grain mill.

Throckmorton sounds like a gear made of stone in a 18th century grain mill.

That it does. Really quite a name/word.

Should be a game. Use Throckmorton in a sentance.

I think I blew out my Throckmorton last week.

FINAL

[Bretsky]

Removed Levanta Taylor the the Edge from the Spartans;

[Bretsky]

YESTERDAY they were setting odds at 1 to 2.5 that Tue would get picked 3 or earlier. Those were good odds. I think I'd have rolled with a Hundo to get 250 back that TT gets picked at 3

[Joemailman]

Mad Scientist gets 1 point for Love. Did I miss anyone?

[wist43]

It was a stupid pick, so MS should get -1

I have Troy Dye, Ben Bartch, Reggie Robinson, and Danny Pinter left.

[Bretsky]

I'm only down one, and I hope GB trades their fifth for two sixths....lol......I know I'll end up with zero points....but if I can just hit on one sixth rounder.....

[wist43]

I have Troy Dye, Ben Bartch, Reggie Robinson, and Danny Pinter left.

Our next pick??

Jedediah Pitarczski, ST, Northern Montana

He has tremendous upside as the 2nd gunner on kickoffs, but he's raw and still learning the position. He'll fit in well with our team concept, and can learn and develop for the next few years when we expect he'll be ready to contribute.

Wist...your guy Ben Bartch is still out there........but we just drafted the gadget TE projected to go at the end of draft instead

B, I got you for 7 with Runyan. Did I miss something else?

Looks like everybody else struck out. Bit I'm really tired so I might have missed something. :-)

Nice call on those three. I would have bet money I hit on one WR. How little did I know.

OOPS; I thought I got 6 for the player and 6 for the round...............HAHAHA

I decided to go all round 6 since Green Bay had three picks there and David Stern said this would give me the best odds...

Victory speech to folllow....lol

Gutebag lost his draft board and forgot the position existed
