2022 NFL Draft Day 1

[Fosco33]

Hard to not want another position of need. But yeah our run Def has been below avg and we took a guy who’s a run def and TE cover from a good defensive school.

Prob had 3-4 guys we liked at 22 and 28 and figured this guy was gonna be gone.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Guess who my comp for Walker was?

[Bretsky]

THE GOOD NEWS FOR ME

DID ANYBODY GET ONE POINT FOR THE GB SELECTION in the draft game ??

I hope not :)))))))))))))))))))))))

[Bretsky]

TRAVIS JONES OR JERMAINE JOHNSON AT 28 ???

We're be building a dominant defense for sure

[Deputy Nutz]

Packers alway zig when we think they should zag, but I am just dumbfounded with this pick. Not an exact need, or a position the Packer have ever put a lot of value on. Maybe Berry had a lot to say about what a defense needs to be good

[Joemailman]

Cowboys select Tyler Smith - OT - Tulsa. Ravens on the clock.

Smith is a big left tackle who plays with an edge and flashes the ability to bury defenders in the run game. He has the length, size and speed to develop into an effective blindside pass-blocker who can hold his own on an island in most matchups in the NFL. He has to get better with his hand placement in both the run game and in pass pro. He can be too aggressive at times -- he had 12 penalties last season. -- Steve Muench

THE GOOD NEWS FOR ME

THat would be me.

My bro Q!!

[Bretsky]

Guess who my comp for Walker was?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1R_3QiGbBfzw71d6LrlyvdNtAzQ6Lv3U4IAQ28CDfR18/htmlview#


Who was it ? I get a dang message that I need permission to open it

[Bretsky]

THat would be me.

Well done

I figured the answer was nobody.

[Joemailman]

Jermaine Johnson biggest surprise so far. A lot of people had him going 12 to Vikings.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Who was it ? I get a dang message that I need permission to open it

Try again. I made it public.

[King Friday]

Jaire had the vision to see our first round pick... As a third round selection.

Sums up the pick for me.

[HarveyWallbangers]

THat would be me.

Nice!

[RashanGary]

Choose LB and scroll to the right on my spreadsheet

I couldnot open it but I went to the old one in the draft thread and saw devondre cambell

[HarveyWallbangers]

Jaire had the vision to see our first round pick... As a third round selection.

Sums up the pick for me.

�� I don’t think there was anyway he was getting to round 2. That was wishful thinking.

[pittstang5]

Guess who my comp for Walker was?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1R_3QiGbBfzw71d6LrlyvdNtAzQ6Lv3U4IAQ28CDfR18/htmlview#

Ha ha ha...nice

[King Friday]

Well, I still have hope we can get a WR.

[Bretsky]

Devondre Campbell was the comp; well done :)

[RashanGary]

Try again. I made it public.

Youre gonna have to trust your instincts and move guys where you think they belong.

I looked at receivers only and I had Dotson pegged.

[Bretsky]

Well, I still have hope we can get a WR.

if Jermaine Johnson is still there do you draft a WR ? The DL Jones and Wyatt still there as well

[Joemailman]

Ravens select Tyler Linderbaum - C - Iowa. Titans on the clock.

Linderbaum is an undersized center with shorter arms, but he gets his hands inside and anchors well in pass pro. He's a highly effective zone blocker with the foot speed to reach front side defensive tackles and the range to cut off backside linebackers. He plays with an edge, blocks through the whistle and has good finishing power. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Jason Kelce

[Bretsky]

Youre gonna have to trust your instincts and move guys where you think they belong.

I looked at receivers only and I had Dotson pegged.\\\\



My thirst for the OVAL says you failed to peg Williams :))

[Jaire]

Jaire had the vision to see our first round pick... As a third round selection.

Sums up the pick for me.

To be fair I thought they might take those guys in the second, but likely by the third. Quay was rising last minute (which means teams held him a lot higher).

[RashanGary]

The Packers always take a guy rated lower by the draft publications. This guy is round 3.

[Bretsky]

JETS TRADED UP TO GET DEFENSE ???????????

[Joemailman]

if Jermaine Johnson is still there do you draft a WR ? The DL Jones and Wyatt still there as well

I would take best defensive player, and then trade up tomorrow to take WR.

[RashanGary]

\\\\



My thirst for the OVAL says you failed to peg Williams :))

Yep! Good bet! Worth it.

[Bretsky]

Jermaine Johnson is going to da JETS JETS JETS imo

[HarveyWallbangers]

Youre gonna have to trust your instincts and move guys where you think they belong.

I looked at receivers only and I had Dotson pegged.

The thing to remember is the order they are drafted in isn’t always right.

[George Cumby]

Vikings trade might cheer you up. Probably not.

You couldn't quit us.

[Joemailman]

JETS TRADED UP TO GET DEFENSE ???????????

Jets need a WR.

[RashanGary]

Im hoping for Jalen Tolbert in the second. Focus drops though. You hate to see that.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They took Wilson and have Moore. EDGE?

[RashanGary]

The thing to remember is the order they are drafted in isn’t always right.

True. But youd rather be in line with NFL scouts than with media.

[RashanGary]

They took Wilson and have Moore. EDGE?

Whos Moore?

[King Friday]

Jets having themselves a night.

[Bretsky]

Jermaine Johnson is going to da JETS JETS JETS imo

yup

[Fosco33]

Damn

[Joemailman]

Jets select Jermaine Johnson - Edge - Florida St. Bucs are on the clock.

ohnson is a long pass-rusher with good first-step quickness and outstanding closing speed. His feet and hands -- and how he uses them in unison -- stand out on tape. He's a stout run defender who plays with good leverage and has the upper body strength to keep blockers off his frame. He averaged 61 snaps per game in 2021, and his effort late in the season when the Seminoles had virtually nothing to play for stood out on tape. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Marcus Davenport

[RashanGary]

Im thinking Karlaftis

[Joemailman]

Jags have moved up.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Whos Moore?

Elijah Moore. He’s going to be a good one.

[Bretsky]

Still out love to trade maybe our 28, our fourth to Seattle for their two 2nd's :)))


THE QB IS HERE CALLING FOR YOU TO DRAFT HIM SEATTLE

[RashanGary]

If the Packers are gonna take a consensus 3rd round pick with #22 then you know damn well we have no clue who this is gonna be

[King Friday]

Im thinking Karlaftis

I hope not. He gets stuck on blockers too much for me to be a first round pick.

[Bretsky]

JAGS JUMP AHEAD OF GREEN BAY

[Joemailman]

Daxton Hill now highest rated player out there.

[Bretsky]

Travis Jones
Wyatt
Sky Moore
Christian Watson
George Pickett

[RashanGary]

Travis Jones
Wyatt
Sky Moore
Christian Watson
George Pickett

Dont bother guessing. This is the Packers :lol:

[Bretsky]

Travis Jones
Wyatt
Sky Moore
Christian Watson
George Pickett



SOMEBODY"S GOTTA WANT THE QB on a 5 year contract.

Trade down

[HarveyWallbangers]

True. But youd rather be in line with NFL scouts than with media.

Yeah. I feel pretty good about my day. Sometimes it’s just who fits the scheme, but I had Stingly as CB1, London as WR1, Zion as an easy 1st round pick. Jermaine Johnson as a late 1st. Karlaftis as a late 1st, early 2nd. Elam over Booth and Gordon.

[Bretsky]

Dont bother guessing. This is the Packers :lol:

so right

For all we know they could take Jake Ferguson ....lol

[HarveyWallbangers]

SOMEBODY"S GOTTA WANT THE QB on a 5 year contract.

Trade down

Wouldn’t hate it

[George Cumby]

Trade down is my bet.

[RashanGary]

SOMEBODY"S GOTTA WANT THE QB on a 5 year contract.

Trade down

Deep draft. Would be ideal.

[Jaire]

Aaron on Pat Mcafee now

[HarveyWallbangers]

4.66 LB. That’s so 1990s.

[King Friday]

No need to trade down. Half our draft picks won't make the final roster. We need more top shelf talent.

[Joemailman]

Jags select Devin Lloyd - LB - Utah. Packers are on the clock.

Lloyd locates the ball quickly, slips blocks and closes well in pursuit. He played safety in high school and moves like one in coverage. He has outstanding ball skills and his four interceptions tied for most by an FBS linebacker in 2021. He's an effective hand fighter with good burst and bend rushing the passer. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Darius Leonard

[RashanGary]

Aaron on Pat Mcafee now

Cool. Whats he sayin??

[HarveyWallbangers]

Aaron on Pat Mcafee now

Really? Did he just join? Maybe they’ll take a WR.

[Bretsky]

KC is sitting right behind us; they gotta be going Watson if we don't.

Hate to do this to you HW, because GB never picks my guy, but I think I want Christian Watson here

[RashanGary]

4.66 LB. That’s so 1990s.

Hmm??

[Bretsky]

STILL HAVE THEIR CHOICE OF THE SAME WR'S AS THEY DID AT PICK 22

[pittstang5]

Packers taking Wyatt

[Jaire]

Really? Did he just join? Maybe they’ll take a WR.

Joined about 10 minutes ago

Just announced on McAfee

Really like the pick

RG will too (and Rodgers had a little insight -- he knew about this pick (28): clearly Gute was blowing smoke about not taking old kids)

[red]

fuck

davonte wyatt DT georgia

[George Cumby]

Hahahahahahahaha.

[Sparkey]

Wyatt

[Bretsky]

LET"S GO

[Jaire]

Love it.

I was hoping DL plus edge. But this may be just as good. Plenty of edge later.

[RashanGary]

I had Wyatt in the draft contest.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wyatt

Who?

[King Friday]

I like Wyatt more than Walker.

[Joemailman]

Packers select Devonte Wyatt - IDL - Georgia. Patriots are on the clock.

Wyatt is an explosive defensive tackle who quickly locates the ball and slips blocks rushing the passer and defending the run. He chases with good effort, has good range and always seems to be around the ball. Wyatt is not a massive space eater -- and he can give too much ground to double teams -- but he plays with good leverage and is stout in one-on-one situations. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Christian Wilkins

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Just googled. Are you fucking kidding me! a Yokozuna! Fuck!!!

[RashanGary]

Clark turns 27 in October. Will still be in his prime and have a running mate. Best DL weve had in years.

[MadScientist]

Packers picking players used to having the G on their helmets.

[Bretsky]

Rebuilding the Defense; this is exactly what we thought they'd do if AROD left ......hahah

[Bretsky]

I had Wyatt in the draft contest.

ah, but the contest is rarely won on day one :)))

But congrats !!!!!!!!!!!

[wthigoot]

Anyone do an all-Georgia draft?

[texaspackerbacker]

Wyatt ....... it could be worse, I guess. We didn't really need a D Lineman, but arguably having a good stout guy next to Clark is worthwhile. It's not as bad as the 22nd pick. At least they didn't pick a damn O Lineman.

[call_me_ishmael]

They are either gonna raid FA like Julio or trade up for a receiver in early R2. I don't hate it. I do hate the first pick. Would rather have a young guy than an old guy though. Hopefully they bro is the running mate we've long wanted for Kenny.

[Joemailman]

That's going to be a pretty impressive DL rotation they'll have. Clark, Lowry, Reed, Slaton, and now Wyatt.

[George Cumby]

This D is going to be something, I think.

[Jaire]

I had Wyatt in the draft contest.

I had Wyatt and Walker ;)

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers gonna draft Pickens trm. Our asshole GM has Georgia on his mind.

[Joemailman]

Patriots select Cole Strange - G - Chattanooga.

Strange is a versatile offensive lineman who has strong tape, and he performed well the week of the Senior Bowl and tested fine at the combine. He is a relentless run-blocker with the quickness to generate initial pop on power runs and seal defenders on zone runs. He has outstanding upper-body strength and big hands to latch onto defenders in pass protection. He has the change of direction to mirror and recover when he gets caught out of position. -- Steve Muench

[Bretsky]

They really IMO need a top TE in this draft as well; get a good WR and one of the top TE's and one more FA and an upside WR late and we're fine

WR'S FROM WISHLIST

Christian Watson
Sky Moore
George Pickens
Alec Pierce
John Metchie
Jalon Tolbert



TE"s ON MY WISHLIST

Tre McBride
Jelani Woods
Charlie Kolar

[HarveyWallbangers]

This defense should be friggin' nasty. Just need depth at EDGE and S/SCB, and there's no excuse for it not to be a top 5 defense.

EDGE Rashan Gary
DT Kenny Clark
DT Devonte Wyatt
EDGE Preston Smith
LB De'Vondre Campbell
LB Quay Walker
CB Jaire Alexander
CB Eric Stokes
CB Rasul Douglas
S Adrian Amos
S Darnell Savage

[Joemailman]

Chiefs select George Karlaftis - EDge - Purdue. Bengals are on the clock.

Karlaftis' first three steps are explosive. He converts that take-off burst into power, and he features a nasty bull rush. He's a threat as an interior pass-rusher. Karlaftis has shorter arms for an EDGE defender and gets stuck on blocks, but he has the strength to hold his own at the point of attack, and he makes plays in pursuit as a run defender. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Trey Hendrickson

[Bretsky]

Wyatt ....... it could be worse, I guess. We didn't really need a D Lineman, but arguably having a good stout guy next to Clark is worthwhile. It's not as bad as the 22nd pick. At least they didn't pick a damn O Lineman.


Out with the Northwestern Boys and in with Georgia :))

[RashanGary]

That's going to be a pretty impressive DL rotation they'll have. Clark, Lowry, Reed, Slaton, and now Wyatt.

Yeah. Should be good for 3rd down too.

[jmbarnes101]

Need Dulcich on that list of TE’s.

[jmbarnes101]

Liking the defensive makeover since all the WR’s were gone. Not big on Wyatt being 25 already. Not a long shelf life at that age.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Need Dulcich on that list of TE’s.

I'd put Ruckert on there also. That would be my top 5. I think there's a dropoff after those 5.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Liking the defensive makeover since all the WR’s were gone. Not big on Wyatt being 25 already. Not a long shelf life at that age.

He's 24, but this was a massive outlier for Gute in round 1 (age and the character concerns). They must have been felt good about the kid's makeup.

[RashanGary]

[QUOTE=jmbarnes101;1114978]Liking the defensive makeover since all the WR

[Joemailman]

Bengals select Daxton Hill - S - Michigan. Vikings are on the clock.

Hill is quick to break on the ball and shows great range as a single-high safety. He has the fluid hips, long arms and burst to match up with slot receivers in man coverage. Hill is lean and doesn't always wrap up in space, but he's a willing run defender who takes sound pursuit angles and flashes good stopping power when he fills from the high point. -- Steve Muench

Matt Miller's NFL comp: Eric Berry

[HarveyWallbangers]

Daxton Hill is gone. Pitre and Cine still available at this point.

[RashanGary]

Vikings traded back in

[MadScientist]

Ras should be happy, the Vikings finally have the pick of the Superbowl winner

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vikings traded back in

Isn't this one of the picks they got from the Lions in that earlier trade?

[George Cumby]

Ras should be happy, the Vikings finally have the pick of the Superbowl winner

Savage.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Ras should be happy, the Vikings finally have the pick of the Superbowl winner

Nice! Is it the first time they've ever picked #32?

[Joemailman]

Vikings select Lewis Cine - S - Georgia.

Cine is at his best playing center field in singe-high looks thanks to his excellent instincts, long arms and outstanding top-end speed. He's not as effective matching up in man coverage. He picked off just one pass over the past two seasons. Cine fills the alley quickly and rarely misses a tackle in run support. -- Steve Muench

[Bretsky]

This was from your buddy Wilde who you probably think is worthless. Gb did some extensive background research on both Wyatt and jelani woods. Both had some character concerns and they did their share of research and seemed to come out being positive on both

[Jaire]

I really like the picks. I'm high on Wyatt. Obviously, he dropped because of age. But DL age well, and they don't have to reup his contract. They've despeerately needed help for Clark for several years; so, you do what you can when you draft low. He can be a very special player.

Gotta say, I wanted them to try to put this D over the top. Aaron was on board with it too (on McAfee). He knew they were going to take Wyatt if he was available. In AR's opinion, Williams was the only blue chip, NFL ready receiver in the draft. He stressed you can get receivers anywhere: not just a talking point. My three favorite receivers are still on the board.

Anyways, we've got a lot of picks in a deep draft. This was a very good first day.

Can’t leave us hanging . Who are your favorite 3 wrs ?,

[Joemailman]

As per usual, Gute drafted guys with elite athleticism in Round 1.

I have a hunch the Packers are going to take 2 WR in this round.

[HarveyWallbangers]

That's about as useless as a concrete parachute. Of course, the Packers researched Wyatt, Woods, and anybody they gave draftable grades to who had character concerns.

I think Jeremy Fowler of ESPN first reported that. They also brought in Sam Williams and George Pickens. Two other guys with character concerns.

[call_me_ishmael]

I wonder if the Packers would entertain trading like a #3 or #4 for Karadius Toney? Can they control him? He seems like a talented problem child.

[Bretsky]

I wonder if the Packers would entertain trading like a #3 or #4 for Karadius Toney? Can they control him? He seems like a talented problem child.


Also sounded like per my Giants buddies, he didn't study the playbook and didn't know the plays, and he was above some of the discipline we need as an honorable teammate

Most I'd ponder would be a 5 or 6 for him. Probably would just pass. Doesn't sound like a guy Rodgers would trust anyways

[Fritz]

Hard pass on Toney for me. In fact, I like the youth, so while I see the logic of giving up a second for Waller, the guy is almost 30 and wants to be paid, I think. So draft a young guy and make your Amish tight end Josiah do the work until Tonyan gets back.

I dunno about trading Love. Sounds good short term, but who's the backup QB? And now you have no plan for two years from now when Rodgers retires.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Who is the backup QB? Don't diss the legend that is Kurt Benkert.

[RashanGary]

I think well sit tight and draft BPA in the first. I see at least one big guy, probably Travis Jones. Then well move up in the second and draft the WR we target. And well draft one late too.

Going according to plan.

[Upnorth]

Man there has been no melt downs this draft. That sucks

[Bretsky]

Who is the backup QB? Don't diss the legend that is Kurt Benkert.

We should go sign Jack Coan and Carson Strong
Really think Coan is a backup who would be an outstanding fit in GB
Gotta prep some guys for when we dumplove
