Since the Packers have so many picks today, I do wonder if they will try to trade up to get specific guys.

Like, another safety. Or another offensive lineman.

Man, I don't love this draft. It's just weird.

More OL, please.

I bet they take a TE as well for 'Teams.

Packers will take a ton of guys in the trenches today. I would guess that CB might be where they look first though.

Good call.

Switching to view NFL draft center. Found it late yesterday and it was much better than other coverage. Zierlein is on it. May only be available through Roku.

Any possibility that we take another RB ?

I'd guess late - 6th or 7th. Someone to keep on the practice squad.

I've got a feeling Gutey is gonna take WR or a TE/FB somewhat early today. Do the Packers have a replacement for Degara?

I would expect taking a speed RB who can catch and has some ability to block and play teams.

Dillon is going to take on that role this season. They said as much without saying Deguara's name.

Not sure which is worse…the glory hogging old NFL guys or all these ridiculous foreign fans.

move up

Oh Oh Oh, Packers moved up!

Traded 126 and 190 for 111. Selected Evan Williams, safety from Oregon.

Horrifying. This guy has no value at the next level for me outside of special teams. He wasn’t great in coverage in college.

I hope he sticks so I can call him Hooch.

Edit: Who wouldn't prefer some Evan Williams to a cup of Kool-Aid?

Evan Williams seems like a box safety. Not sure he fits in with Packers wish to have interchangeable safeties. I guess not everybody can be that flexible.

Agree. I think he's more box safety, but I suspect they think he can handle some deep stuff. They don't have a lot of depth in the room so this is... meh.
I haven't watched him much; there were others people liked (Jaden Hicks?) who maybe you could do more box safety stuff with.
A little underwhelmed with the pick, but I've not really seen him.

I'm expecting Gute to go back to the well at OL and RB, and probably take a flier on a QB. A little surprised Spencer Rattler wasn't the pick at 111 for GB tbh.

100% to all of this lol

Zubaz? That’s the best you can do when you are called on to announce your team’s draft pick?

Buffalo needs to up their game in more ways than on the field.

Just realized they traded up to take Williams, a R4 and R6 for the NYJ R4.
Seems like Williams is a physical guy and will be a ST demon at worst. Won the Defensive Specialist award at the Senior Bowl.
Javon Bullard said he's "physical as hell", and looks like he's best near the LOS so he could be a fun piece in certain situations. Definitely more of a box safety. Ran a 4.56 at pro day, if the instincts are there you could play him deep in a pinch but it sounds like veteran pro WRs will give him trouble.

Good news: Players like this strongly suggest Hafley's defense will be more aggressive than Barry's.

It’s like a special teams draft. Weird.

Last two picks, maybe.

How soon everyone forgets about the shit back half of our D that was rolled out onto the field last year. 7 total Ints. and not one hitter who can lay the wood in the bunch. That's fukking pathetic.

I like Mekhi Wingo, Cedric Van Pran, Hunter Nourzad, or Malik Washington in the 5th.

Kinda what I meant . Offensive line next?

Center/ guard is definitely an option. DL would not surprise me, though.

Gotta be Corner next along with DL or another LB with these back to back 5th rounders coming up.

It wasn't good enough, but this guy might not be an upgrade except possibly in short yardage situations. You have to get to the ball carrier before you can lay the wood.

Damn Racist Italians. Drafted the two white players I dig in DeJean and Shipley.

Let’s get that next late- round offensive line all pro!

They traded up to 163 and took Jacob Monk, center, from Duke.

We moved up from 168 and it cost #219

My initial reaction to this pick was that it was the Ol Amari Rodgers or Josiah Deguara situation.

But he got a respectable 7.0 RAS and plays bigger than his size so maybe plays more like a 7.5 ras.


He’s not versatile in the sense of being a do everything safety, but he is versatile in the sense of being a really strong run defender and blitzer. If you want to play some big nickel with Quay, Cooper and Williams as your linebackers, I think you have the speed there to be a pretty effective big nickel unit or even kind of a small base unit depending on how you view it.

But it opens up some options with his just good enough safety skillset along with his linebacker like tackling and thumping ability. It’s a different versatility, maybe more of a luxury than full time piece, but you can see some options there. If he’s a baller. And there is a lot of talk that he’s a football player, a dude, and a hard working football guy.

Oh well. I guess we had to go O Line at some point. There probably will be another one too before it's over.

This guy seems to be flexible position-wise and smart, being a co-captain at Duke.

His most redeeming trait is that he is named after a bourbon. Box safety and ST guy. Not sure you need to trade up at this point of the draft.

Edit: sorry just catching up on Williams.

I think the biggest shift I’ve seen in the last couple years is the mental makeup of the guys we pick. A few years back it seemed like we took good hearted kids, always good people, but now it seems like they have to be great guys with the rough and tumble all football mindset. A lot of the guys we picked are just that rowdy, tough types the last few years. And it’s paying off.

Monk is another Gutes type. Played all 5 spots, team captain, lotta starts in college. I like him here, but I would have liked getting higher end guys earlier and be taking shots at LB now.
