Draft Party in GB

[call_me_ishmael]

Are y'all going? Should we do this thing?

[MadtownPacker]

Dude, you’re a fucking flake. Maybe Joemailman or Bretsky or another other local is wanting to get a group together, Then people could know it was serious.

[Joemailman]

I'll be there sometime on Friday with some family members. Not sure where or when. Harvey and Bretsky mentioned they will be there.https://packerrats.com/showthread.php?32633-Green-Bay-Hosting-2025-NFL-Draft&highlight=draft

APB will be there flipping burgers for minimum wage. Don't forget to tip him.

[Bretsky]

Can we get tickets for this yet. Hey F'ckers this could be Round 2 of the OVAL OFFICE Caramel Fest. Fosco still around ? He fronted the $5 for me if I recall.

But if there is a next time I'd not frickin leaving so early. Before I know it I was wondering where the F'ck I was and Madtown was explaining to me I was in some
Acceptance Bar....or something like that....Mad remember the politcally correct phrase you used ?

As all I could think of what WTF ??? lol

[Joemailman]

I don't think there are tickets to be bought for the general public. I think there are certain special events that will require ticket purchases. https://www.greenbay.com/draft25/draft-faqs/

[Fosco33]

Hey - I’ll likely be there Thur for day 1 w/ some buddies. No clue on logistics or whatever but it might be fun to meet up. I’ve only met MTP and Ziggy.

[Sparkey]

I might be there Thursday night or Friday. It is only an hour drive for me.

[SudsMcBucky]

I'm out. Only make 1 trip per year to the Frozen Tundra and that will be for an early home game.

[CaptainKickass]

I am Groot.

I am typically unchained from the burger joint Thursday (night) through Saturday (night). I’d love to meet y’all, but I despise faceless crowds, long lines and rich Italians. Therefore, I most likely will be in the MKE grinding at poker that weekend.

[Fosco33]

Hahaha. What did I do to piss on your burger, Tank. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything to you except calling the Iggles racist Italians was fucking stupid. Did some Italian steal a girl/boy friend from you or something?

Tank, I would hang out with ya.

Having close to a quarter of a million at Lambeau Field is too much for me. As much as I love the draft being there in those accommodations would make my skin crawl.

[Patler]

Serious question - Why do people want to go to this? What is there to do, see, experience?

I don't get it, but I haven't investigated the event either.

Just being there to chant "The Bears Still Suck!" after the Bears pick would be worth it.

Everybody wants to visit the Oval Office with me Patler. And FOMO; something will be great there imo.

And when is the last time you can attend the NFL Draft in frickin Wiscsonsin

Be a part of history :)))

[call_me_ishmael]

It's an opportunity to drink and have some fun. It sounds cool!

[Fosco33]

No more drinking for me, partial. Unless it’s a coffee

[Tony Oday]

I normally would want to go but I hate crowds now! I got old. I will watch from the house while we trade our 1st pick away :)

[SkinBasket]

Dood. You don’t own me. “Our” would be the proper term.

[Deputy Nutz]

I went to the draft in Detroit last year - day two. It was ridiculous, frankly. Most of it roped off; we couldn't even get in until a number of people left - they were controlling how many people could be in the "draft party" section, which was cordoned off. So we walked around the perimeter, then finally got in. Frankly, not my bag. Lots of people walking around in their team's jerseys, holding cold beer on a cold night. Nothing special, to me. Best part was dinner beforehand in Hazel Park.

Here is our receiver.

But GB drafts WR"s in round one about as often as Gouchebag signs veteran free agents over the age of 30

[MadtownPacker]

Damn he moves fast and fearless around on the field. Doing it against the big school DBs too! I’m down with that selection B.

[call_me_ishmael]

Are folks going to this? I am traveling for work that week but could potentially fly to GB instead of Milwaukee Thursday night. Alternatively I could come up Friday. What are peeps doin'?

Coming back to Pound the Table; but aftter Gouchebag drafts I know I'll be beating my head against a wall, like last year and many others. TIME TO ADD SOME DATA TO THIS NO BRAINER

:beat::pc::bang::bang:]

[Bretsky]

Pro Football Network used its analytics to pinpoint each team’s biggest need. For the Packers, it’s finding a receiver capable of beating man coverage. According to PFN, Jordan Love ranked fourth in EPA per dropback against zone coverage but was just 33rd against man.

To make matters worse,” as PFN’s Sterling Xie pointed out, big-play receiver Christian Watson suffered a torn ACL in Week 18 and probably will miss at least half of the season. Watson was the team’s best receiver vs. man coverage.
Here are the man-zone numbers from Pro Football Focus:

Dontayvion Wicks: 11 catches, 29 targets (37.9 percent) for 59 yards, 0.75 yards per route

Christian Watson: 14 catches, 27 targets (51.9 percent) for 277 yards, 3.34 yards per route.

Jayden Reed: 9 catches, 22 targets (40.9 percent) for 109 yards, 0.93 yards per route.

Romeo Doubs: 14 catches, 20 targets (70.0 percent) for 173 yards, 1.63 yards per route.

Of 71 receivers who were targeted at least 20 times against man coverage, Watson ranked fifth in yards per route, Doubs ranked 43rd, Reed was next-to-last and Wicks was last.

Against zone coverage, Reed was second in yards per route, Watson was 27th, Wicks was 31st and Doubs was 32nd.

[Bretsky]

Breaking it up man vs. zone for the presumptive first-round options:

Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan: 3.50 yards per route vs. man, 2.82 vs. zone.

Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka: 2.46 yards per route vs. man, 2.31 vs. zone.

Texas’ Matthew Golden: 0.92 yards per route vs. man, 2.51 vs. zone.

Missouri’s Luther Burden III: 2.93 yards per route vs. man, 2.15 vs. zone.

Even if Green Bay continues its 22-year drought of not taking a wide receiver in the first round, there are plenty of options to address this issue on Day 2,” Zie wrote. “Prospects like Tre Harris, Jalen Royals and Kyle Williams should be available when the Packers pick in the second and third rounds, and all were ranked top 10 in the FBS in yards per route against man coverage in 2024.”

Ole Miss’ Harris led the draft class in yards per route overall. Against man, he averaged a ridiculous 10.47 yards per route vs. man – 6.03 yards better than Washington State’s Williams (4.43), who was second.

[Bretsky]

Asked about his receivers, which ended the 2023 season on such an upswing, coach Matt LaFleur at the NFL owners meetings last month pointed to drops. Reed dropped an astounding 43.8 percent of his targets against man coverage, finishing with nine catches and seven drops. He had the highest drop rate and Wicks the fifth-highest.

[Deputy Nutz]

If it was back in New York I would think about going.

[Deputy Nutz]

I like Egbuka especially if the Packers just want the best receiver available. He isn't a big lanky target which the Packers will be missing for a portion of 2024. The biggest need the Packers have is at defensive tackle. The added pieces through free agency really filled some holes at corner and offensive line.

[smuggler]

Reed is notorious as bad against man. Wicks is actually great but last season he couldn't catch at all. Doubs is skilled but slow. Watson is gone in '25.

[King Friday]

We lose 4 boundary corners and picked up one tweener in FA.

Outside CB is most definitely a need, underlined and in bold just like a future replacement for Kenny. We need two of those guys as starters and some reserves. Nixon is good, Valentine has potential, Hobbs can help but he’s not a primary boundary guy.

If they draft Matthew Golden in the first round, I blame you. All this pressure on the GM from you.
