Official Day 3 Of The 2017 NFL Draft Thread

[Joemailman]

Best pass rusher available is Carl Lawson of Auburn. He's been injured a lot last 2 years. What say you?

According to CBS best available player is Chad Hansen - WR - Cal. Hey Mad! He's white!

[Teamcheez1]

Last thing we need is a guy with injury history ala Justin Harrel on the defense. I say pass on Lawson and look elsewhere.

[Carolina_Packer]

Top of the 4th, stay true to your board, but with an on on a needed position. I think I would go RB with either Samaje Perine, OK or Marlon Mack, USF. Perine would replace the type of player Lacy is, and Mack would be like a Dalvin Cook.

With the late 4th round pick, I would go pass rusher. Here are some that look promising. Still plenty of opportunities and available talent to get a good pass rusher.

Keion Adams, OLB, Western MI

Samson Ebukam, OLB, Eastern WA

Javancy Jones, OLB, Jackson State

Vince Biegel, OLB, WI

Other guys worth mentioning are

Jojo Mathis, OLB, Washington

RB Samaje Perine and TE Bucky Hodges are must drafts today!! You can do it Teddy, the rest can be below average D linemen just to satisfy your below average D Linemen cravings!!!

[texaspackerbacker]

I still absolutely don't want Perine, and I think Ted will see it that way too. Also, why in the hell would we draft a TE?

I'd like to see the Packers get Vince Biegel with either the early or late 4th round pick. I also still say Dede Westbrook is an exceptional WR - enough to draft him even though we really don't need a WR. I suppose whether I like it or not, we need a RB today also. I just hope it is a speed back, not some big plodder. I'm sure Ted will pick up an O Lineman too, probably with one of the 5th round picks.

[Bretsky]

Perine seems like the easy call here; he's BPA nearly everywhere I go but TT most likely knows better. Tex, he's been productive and looks like he could start in the NFL. Why don't you like him ? He seems like an easier call than our 1st rounder, who we almost had to draft given the current state of our secondary

On board with Biegel as well
I'd love it if we just stack up pass rushers today
If ya thrown enough crap to the wall something will stick

Then go sign every UDFA in the secondary and OL that will come to GB

[pittstang5]

I'd like to see us get a PR/KR today. With Hyde gone and if Davis ends up in the dog house again, we need someone to return punts. I guess Cobb could do it, but I'd rather see someone else.

[Deputy Nutz]

I think Marlon Mack is a better overall running back than Perine. I don't think the Packers should necessarily look to replace Lacy with another Lacy like guy. Mack in my opinion is the best running back available.

[Brandon494]

I wouldn't be mad if we took the OL from Pittsburgh but still hoping for my RB

TT has been flinging nothing but shit at the wall for quite a while and hardly any has stuck. Time to abandon that theory.

[Deputy Nutz]

I don't think Biegel will last to the end of the fourth round but if he is there the Packers should grab him. I don't think he is the overall athlete as Watt, but I think he could bring just as much value as Watt brings in the first round

[Maxie the Taxi]

A month or two ago I didn't know many of these guys from Adam. Yeah, I've seen some play. Some of the Badgers. Some Big Ten guys. A few SEC guys. I've heard of others, but haven't seen them play.

So my opinion doesn't count for much.

I do like to hear first hand accounts of guys though. Like when Fritz says he's seen a lot of Malik McDowell and the guy is a cancer. Those kinds of comments are incisive and, in this case gratifying, since McDowell went to the Seahawks and the damnable Pete Carroll.

I agree with this. I fear the injury risk, but for a fourth rounder it's worth the gamble. He seemed like the bigger play maker last year early, while TJ was getting more up to speed.

This pick is a 'no brainer'. Look at his film (LINK below). Ted Thompson PLEASE pick RB Samaje Perine. I have checked and a lot of Packer fans want this guy and we need a real RB.

Samaje Perine is the obvious choice. He is out of sight strong (30 Rep's and overall solid meaureables) and a real team guy.

I'll be disappointed if TT passes on Samaje Perine and especially so given the need.
