Official day 2 of the draft thread

[RashanGary]

In honor of Rastak, I start this thread in hopes of 2 new all pros.

[Bretsky]

I'd like to wish RG and every else luck in MISSING all of the picks today for the Draft Contest :))))

My ego needs a victory today so I can sit on a throne and look down on you peasants :lol:

[Rastak]

Good man Justin.

[Sparkey]

Creed Humphrey and Alim McNeil for 2nd and 3rd pick.

Josh Imatorbhebhe my sleeper on Saturday

[Sparkey]

Tyson Campbell goes to the Jaguars pick number 33

[Bretsky]

J.E.T.S. JETS JETS JETS

I really liked Elijah Moore; would have been fine if GB picked him in round one

[RashanGary]

Harvey's top safety goes ahead of Moerig. I didn't like Moerig at all. Soft and clumsy as a tackler. Nah thanks.

[Rastak]

Pats move up for Barmore.

[Sparkey]

Bears move up in trade with Carolina. Select Teven Jenkins

[Rastak]

Vikings may try and trade back into the 2nd round with three 3rd round picks.

[Sparkey]

Levi Onwuzurike to the Lions

[Rastak]

Lions are having a fucking great draft.

[RashanGary]

Liam Eichenberg gone. I’m kinda hoping for a tackle and I liked him.

[smuggler]

A lot of trades to start day 2... a lot.

[Sparkey]

Moehrig goes to Raiders at pick 43

[Joemailman]

Radunz to Bengals would make sense.

[RashanGary]

All the tackles coming off the board :(

[Joemailman]

Bengals take Jackson Carman. Chargers on thw clock. OT a need for them.

[Joemailman]

Is it crazy to think Packers could get JOK in 2nd round?

[Sparkey]

Asaunte Samuel to CHargers

[Sparkey]

Guessing Steelers would pick JOK, if he is still there. Seems like a Steeler type pick.

[Joemailman]

Chargers take Asante Samuel. 49ers on the clock.

[Joemailman]

49ers take Aaron Banks.

[RashanGary]

Damn, I liked Rondale Moore

[Joemailman]

Cardinals take Rondale Moore.

Giants up.

[Joemailman]

Giants take Olujari. Washington up.

[smuggler]

Ah, Washington snagged Cosmi...

[Joemailman]

Cosmi to Washington.

[Joemailman]

10 picks away.

[Joemailman]

JOK to Browns.

[Joemailman]

Titans take Radunz.

[Joemailman]

Not looking like Gute will try to trade up.

[Joemailman]

Steelers take TE Freiermuth. seahawks up.

[sharpe1027]

Lots of high rated OL left.

[Joemailman]

Seahawks get Eskridge.

[sharpe1027]

Lots of high rated OL left.

I was looking at the wrong list.

[Joemailman]

Rams need LB. Bolton could go here.

[red]

so what about Quinn Meinerz here?

[Joemailman]

Bolton to Chiefs.

[Joemailman]

so what about Quinn Meinerz here?

Could be. Terrace Marshall and Jabril Cox still out there.

[red]

Creed Humphrey is still there

draft him

some sites had us taking him in the first

[Joemailman]

Marshall to Panthers.

[jmbarnes101]

With Bolton and Marshall now gone I don’t care what they do.

[red]

drunk blonde trying to dance on the stage

[texaspackerbacker]

I agree about Humphrey.

[Joemailman]

Werner to Saints. RG probably pissed.

[RashanGary]

Dang, my guy Pete Werner gone

[pittstang5]

[RashanGary]

Lots of dbs on the board........jk

Dyami Brown

Walker Little

Walker little is gone

[Joemailman]

Josh Myers

Hope he's as good as the last C they drafted from Ohio St.

[Jaire]

I've really lost confidence in Gute and the FO.

Last year was not a fluke.

[red]

i like it filling the need at center

not sure it was the best center available, but whatever

and there goes humphrey

[HarveyWallbangers]

[Joemailman]

Tony Pauline’s Josh Myers Scouting Report
Positives: Explosive blocker at the pivot who displays terrific strength in his game. Fires off the snap, turns defenders from the line, and keeps his feet moving. Gets movement run blocking, fires out to the second level, and seals linebackers from the action. Anchors in pass protection, gets a shoulder on defenders, and takes them from their angles of attack. Effective with the shotgun snap. Effectively quarterbacks the offensive line.

Featured | NFL Draft Prospects 2021: Pauline’s updated big board, player rankings

Negatives: Stiff and doesn’t play like a nimble or overly athletic blocker. Struggles to adjust.

Analysis: Myers was a terrific center for Ohio State and comes with growth potential. While he’s effective at the second level, I do not project him as a pure zone-blocking lineman. However, Myers could be a longtime starter in the NFL in the proper system.

[Joemailman]

Care to elaborate?

[pittstang5]

Meh.... we need a center, we got a center

[wist43]

Another sexy gute pick, lol...

I'm sure AR is impressed :)

[red]

well, we needed a center, we had the pick of all the centers, we took the one we thought was best

not sexy, but we needed one

[Rastak]

I like the Vikes pick. They sat tight. Gotta get a guy who's cheap eventually.

[George Cumby]

Packers next pick at #92, unless Gute packages some of the compensatorise to move up.

[Rastak]

cousins is gonna be pissed


Nah, that guys knows how to play the system to maximize everything. He has no emotion. Kind of a religion nut ( sorry religion nuts) I don't think he's got that crazy Arod attitude.

Maybe Josh Meyers is a guard. Jenkins was a center too, right?

[Joemailman]

Alim McNeil to Lions. Lions building the trenches.

[RashanGary]

Even still

Turner

Meyers
Runyan
Jenkins


Gets you through till Bakh is back, no?

Not bad. If Jenkins could have played OT against Bucs, might have been a different story

[Bretsky]

HEY BITCHES; just in the house

[Bretsky]

BEARS seem to be doing great as well

[Joemailman]

BEARS seem to be doing great as well

I like the Lions draft.

[Bretsky]

OK; WHO DO WE WANT ??? JABRIL COX ??????

WTF did we draft in round 2 ? Was he really the BPA ?

[Bretsky]

I like the Lions draft.


I saw da Bears got Tevon Jenkins to go along with Justin Fields; scary

WHO did the Lions get ? I just got in

[Joemailman]

He was the #2 Center in the draft.

[Bretsky]

Has our OSU Homer HW said anything on him ?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Care to elaborate?

1) I don’t like drafting OCs in the first 2 rounds unless they are elite prospects. This guy isn’t that.
2) I didn’t think he looked very good last year.
3) I didn’t think he fit our scheme—although I’ll defer to the FO on that.
4) If you were going to take an OC, I thought Humphrey was better.
5) You can find OCs later. Linsley was a 5th round pick.
6) I thought there were better players at other positions (Dyami Brown, Jabril Cox, Andre Cisco, Nixon) who fit our scheme.

I would have preferred Gute trade up and take an OT. Most of the guys who fit our scheme are now gone. Maybe he tried.

[Joemailman]

Dyami Brown to Washington.

[Bretsky]

Thumbs down.

and he's normally an apologist :)))))

Who do we want ?

Amari Rogers or Jabril Cox ? Is the ND ILB still out there HW liked ? The fighting Bison ?

[Bretsky]

PACKERS MOVED UP ??

[Sparkey]

Packers move up. On the clock.

[Sparkey]

Amari Rodgers

[Joemailman]

This might be Cox.

[Bretsky]

WR or ILB

[Bretsky]

LOVE THE PICK

[Badgerinmaine]

Trade with Tennessee but not sure of the price

[Joemailman]

Tony Pauline’s Amari Rodgers Scouting Report
Positives: Slightly undersized receiver who also doubles as a return specialist. Quickly releases off the line, fires into routes, and stays low on exit. Displays terrific quickness in and out of breaks and positions himself to make the reception. Extends his hands to snatch the ball out of the air and lays out to make the difficult catch.

Reliable, possesses terrific eye/hand coordination, and nicely adjusts to the errant throw. Follows the quarterback across the field and finds the soft spot in the defense. Plays bigger than his size and fights to come away with the difficult grab in a crowd. Effective returning punts.

Negatives: Easily taken down in the open field by a single defender. Lack of height is a hindrance, especially trying to grab high throws. Plays to one speed and lacks a deep burst.

Analysis: Rodgers was a terrific receiver for Clemson both coming off the bench and as a starter. He comes with average physical dimensions but nicely projects as a slot wideout who can also return punts.

[wthigoot]

Trade with Tennessee but not sure of the price

Looks like #135 (first of the 2 4ths) according to NFL.com

[Badgerinmaine]

Nice story on Amari Rodgers here: https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/2021/04/28/amari-rodgers-boosts-his-nfl-draft-stock-big-senior-season/7324284002/ (http://https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/2021/04/28/amari-rodgers-boosts-his-nfl-draft-stock-big-senior-season/7324284002/)
Mel Kiper Jr. from the story: “Great slot receiver and had a great Senior Bowl week. He has got a chance to be one of the first five, six, seven or eight picks in the second round, so when Day 2 kicks off, Amari Rodgers I think hears his name called very early.”

[Bretsky]

we gave up a 4th to move up 5 spots ?

[Sparkey]

Packers acquired pick 85 in exchange for 92 and 135

[RashanGary]

LOVE THE PICK

McGinn had him round 2/3 and they said he was a real solid player.

[wthigoot]

we gave up a 4th to move up 5 spots ?

https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/picks?round=4&year=2021

#135 shows going from GB to TEN. Seems like a high price, I was thinking a 5th would be enough. They must like this guy.

[Sparkey]

we gave up a 4th to move up 5 spots ?

To be fair. The 4th is closer to a rnd 5 pick.

[Joemailman]

we gave up a 4th to move up 5 spots ?

Actually pretty close according to trade value chart. Packers overpaid very slightly.

[call_me_ishmael]

Alright, time to trade back up and get the guy from White water and have a lot of options on OL. Jenkins can play tackle if they land the gut to play RG.

[wthigoot]

To be fair. The 4th is closer to a rnd 5 pick.

Correct, according to the old trade value chart it is almost even. Packers give up 171 points (132+39), get 165 points

[Bretsky]

Turner
Patrick
Meyers
Runyan
Jenkins

They have enough guys it seems like to get them through till Bakh is back. And once he’s back they have a decent 6th man. And maybe more depending on Stepaniak and Hansen.

Well if there is one thing Gute is good at is overpaying for moving up..... lol

Rodgers, Lawrence could be teammates again
Former Clemson receiver Amari Rodgers 'Zoom'-ing up NFL draft charts
SCOTT KEEPFER | GREENVILLE NEWS | 8:00 am EDT April 28, 2021

Amari Rodgers says he’s done “30-plus Zoom interviews,” which pretty much covers the entire NFL.


On Friday, he’ll hear from only one, and that’s just fine with him.

“I’ve been real busy with the interviews – used Zoom more than I ever have in my life, getting to know teams and them getting to know you,” Rodgers said. “But it’s slowing down now, which I’m thankful for.”

Rodgers is expected to be drafted Friday, when the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft unfold at 7 p.m. A year ago, such an expectation would have seemed a longshot.

But Rodgers may have done more to improve his NFL draft stock than any player in the country during the past year, transforming his professional future into a sure thing.


Overshadowed by talented wide receivers his first three seasons at Clemson, Rodgers broke out in his senior campaign, emerging as the favorite target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and leading the Tigers in receptions (77), receiving yards (1,020) and touchdown receptions (7).


He capped that effort by wowing scouts and other NFL personnel with an eye-opening week of practice at the Senior Bowl, then grabbing a team-high four catches, including one for a touchdown, in the game. Rodgers also flashed his versatility with an 11-yard punt return.


Plenty of draft analysts left impressed.

“Great slot receiver and had a great Senior Bowl week,” ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. said. “He has got a chance to be one of the first five, six, seven or eight picks in the second round, so when Day 2 kicks off, Amari Rodgers I think hears his name called very early.”


Daniel Jeremiah, an analyst for the NFL Network, also left the Senior Bowl favoring Rodgers.

“I loved his crisp route running,” Jeremiah said. “He has strong hands and a solid overall feel for the game. Rodgers reminds me of Randall Cobb. The Houston Texans wide receiver has had a long, successful run in the league, and Rodgers has similar potential.”

I kind of agree; would love to see a ILB

And then in round five take some of those OT"s on my list ....lol

[texaspackerbacker]

Damn. Bad enough we took a WR and traded up to do it, but we got one who combines smallness with slowness. Supposedly he's a kick returner, but I doubt he's fast enough for kick offs - punts maybe.

Anyway, 2 picks out of 3 that I liked.

[RashanGary]

I’m kind of OK with the OL. If there’s a position you can get a starter from day one, it’s a second round center. That should be a shoe in long term starter where he was drafted. So we have just enough to get through till Bakh is back.

The receiver has a lot of talent for a 3rd rounder. Smart, natural, quick. Should fit in well with Rodgers and the passing attack.


Our day 2, we have two really good bets to be solid players.

[Joemailman]

Short, not small. 212 pounds on 5-9 frame. Not fast, but quick in and out of breaks. Packers will still have an A. Rodgers on the roster!

[BL]

Reminds me of ex-Falcon T. Mathis. I like him a lot

JUST SAW A RECAP

WAS THE MICHIGAN OT MAYFIELD THERE FOR US IN 2ND ROUND ???

[Joemailman]

Meinerz to Broncos.

[Bretsky]

CONGRATS TO THE GUY UP THE ROAD FROM ME

[Joemailman]

JUST SAW A RECAP

WAS THE MICHIGAN OT MAYFIELD THERE FOR US IN 2ND ROUND ???

He went early 3rd round.

[call_me_ishmael]

Darn, tell me the gut doesn't remind you of Josh Sitton. I mean his nickname is `the gut` for crying out loud.

[George Cumby]

or JABRIL COX the ILB

Yes, please.

[Joemailman]

So Jabril Cox and Dylan Moses will be Day 3 picks.

[Joemailman]

1) I don’t like drafting OCs in the first 2 rounds unless they are elite prospects. This guy isn’t that.
2) I didn’t think he looked very good last year.
3) I didn’t think he fit our scheme—although I’ll defer to the FO on that.
4) If you were going to take an OC, I thought Humphrey was better.
5) You can find OCs later. Linsley was a 5th round pick.
6) I thought there were better players at other positions (Dyami Brown, Jabril Cox, Andre Cisco, Nixon) who fit our scheme.

I would have preferred Gute trade up and take an OT. Most of the guys who fit our scheme are now gone. Maybe he tried.

Some valid points. But Packers don't miss often when drafting IOL. I like this pick and the Packers draft this year.

[texaspackerbacker]

I guess I'll just have to try to think positive about this new Rodgers. Maybe he can become something like Cole Beasley.

Reading about Meyer and Creed Humphrey reminded me of when we drafted Tretter in the 4th and Linsley in the 6th. I preferred Linsley right from the start - bigger and stronger but maybe not as athletic as Tretter. Meyer appears to be the same compared to Humphrey.

[bobblehead]

TB drafted Kyle Trask. Brady is demanding to be traded.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I like the Rodgers pick. Can do the jet motions and is a good slot receiver. Good value. Showed some great route running at the Senior Bowl.

Smart, savvy, polished types have done well with 12. This guy fits what the Packers have done for 15 years. Even Jordan Love would benefit from a quality slot guy if it comes to it.

Correct. With Adams, MVS, and Lazard, we don't need another 6 foot 3 burner who will basically run 9 routes. To open up the field for the guys we have, we need a capable slot receiver. Someone quick in space. This guy absolutely nailed it at the Senior Bowl and comes from a grade A college program. Great pick.

I agree completely. He is a perfect compliment to the WR's currently on the roster.

[Fritz]

TB drafted Kyle Trask. Brady is demanding to be traded.

Hmm....end of the second round. IF the Packers had done that last year, would the fact that it was the end of the second been enough to mollify Rodgers? Do these guys sit around thinking about the parameters of what constitutes an insult? "Well, if they draft a QB in the third round or after, I guess it's okay because it means they're just taking a flyer. But if it's a second rounder I'll pretend I'm supportive but I'll get pissy when I see the GM. And if they trade up to draft a late first-rounder, I'm going to start thinking about how to get back at those bastards."

Maybe not in advance, mainly because I don't thing Rodgers saw them taking a QB anywhere near how high they did. But I think your model here is a really good framework for how he would have reacted.

[Joemailman]

In case you were wondering why JOK slid so far.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had a heart issue that came up late in the process and was a concern for most teams, which is why he fell out of the first round and to pick No. 52 with Cleveland, per sources. Doctors ultimately cleared Owusu-Koramoah but it did contribute to him falling.
