wait, is the draft this thursday?
so this guy thinks that somehow 13 other teams pass on the top 5 talent in the draft, AND decide not to trade down?
i'm with nuts. i think this guy sounds like a madden fanboy more then someone who should be writing articles about real football
or a packer fanboy who has never watched a game that didn't feature the packers
I don't know. This is where Aaron Nagler got his start I think, but not sure who's site it is. He's been around for awhile but I don't know the track record.
I do think its representative of the current movement of mocks to lean more defensive at the top. The only guy on offense to move up is Rosen, who a lot of people have decided is going to the Jets.

So none of the beat writers see Lamar Jackson going in the first round? Interesting.
No. If it were me I would trade up for Chubb and call it a day. A Star makes up for limited depth. If not Chubb, then Roquan Smith. The Packers need a star desperately.
But I don't think they're going to trade-up. I simply do not see a player at 14 that is a cut above the rest. It feels like 10-12 is a significant drop-off in talent assuming 4 QBs go in the top 10. It feels more responsible to trade down I guess.
31. New England Patriots | Mason Rudolph — Karen Guregian, Boston Herald
The Pats pick Mason Rudolph over Lamar Jackson !?

Yup.
They must ensure the NO. 1 Priority is keeping Aaron Rodgers on his feet.

Sorry I am not a fan of Landry. He doesn't pop off on film. He is in a 4 point stance 95% of the time and he doesn't use his hands well. He lacks explosion off the ball. To me he looks like the least productive guy in the top 5. I would much rather have Davenport.
Compare tapes of Chubb and Landry and they are not even in the same stratosphere.
Not sure I can remember a draft where this is less consensus about who the 1st pick will be.
