    Who's Your Favorite? 2017 Draft

    Okay. The picks have been made, and we've been grousing about who we didn't get since Thursday. Now's the chance to identify which draftee you are most looking forward to seeing play.

    For me, I'm choosing Aaron Jones and Kevin King. And Josh Jones, I guess. But his is more for the size/speed as the (very) few clips I've seen don't seem special.

    Whereas Aaron Jones is that scat back we've all been craving and Kevin King's combine numbers were otherworldly. So those two are the salivating picks for me.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP, 5th Round Compensatory Pick - fast, can run, catch and block. Hope he is like Bear's last year 5th rounder Jordan Howard.

    One caveat - in the film I've seen, he wears a play flip chart on his forearm, which is a little worrisome.

        Biegel. He was the "free" pick.

          Most likely to be a star - King. He's solid now with potential to be a star player
          Most interesting - Josh Jones. Could be a game changer at ILB with that speed
          Most likely to make impact year 1 - Jamaal Williams - downhill runner, great vision, good feet
          Most interesting late round pick - Aaron Jones. Superstar athletic traits. We'll see

            Montravius Adams. I like rooting for the underdog. Any defensive lineman drafted by TT is an underdog.

              For me it's a toss up between Adams and biegel. i expect more out of biegel but love adams upside. if this draft is half as good as i hope it is we got a big upgrade to our d.

                Unknown safety in the second round. Josh Jones, in three years I would like to serve crow to Thompson doubters.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  The more I read, the more I like this draft. If it's Ted's last, he is going out in a blaze of glory - at least there seems like a strong chance of that.

                  I didn't realize Aaron Jones was considered a scatback. I was all in for Christine Michael; If A. Jones is a breakaway runner like that as a change of pace threat, he could rise to the top in a hurry. As it is, though, I'll take the easy way and go with Kevin King. The top pick should be the best prospect, but I haven't been this excited about a Packer Corner since Tim Lewis.

                  Josh Jones, Biegel, Yancey, Williams, Adams, etc. all stand out as better than most of the picks of the last few years.
                  What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                    All in all it's a good draft I think...

                    I think King and jamaal Williams will be players. Have high hopes for Yancy.

                    Concerned about Josh Jones lack of physicality in getting off blocks, i.e. he plays like a corner; concerned about Adams (his motor and playing tall); and concerned about Beigel being a one-speed player who is around the pile more than he is the cause of the pile.

                      Jamaal Williams and King.

                        Biegel
                        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                          King
                          For me it was the pick that just made so much sense that there was "noooo way Ted would draft him". So tall, so fast, so long... he's the opposite of the 'Packer CB'. Pleasantly surprised when his name was called. With more coaching this guy could be a big-time, eraser type shutdown corner against the big/strong/fast WR mold.

                          Really excited about a lot of these guys though.. Williams seems to have great vision, J.Jones another Buchanan type with less stick/more cover, A.Jones is a spark plug, Biegel could be a freak, Dupree seems to be completely untapped potential, Yancey another Turtleneck, Kofi could turn out to diamond in the rough/athletic freak,Mays a Fat Eddie with less balance...

                          Not personally excited about Adams but I've just learned not to expect much from Ted's DL picks. Hope to be surprised.

                            I think King is the most likely to be a bust. Does anyone think Washington of all schools had three premier talents in their secondary? Seems unlikely.

                            I like the pick of Jones a lot purely on his athletic numbers. I've never seen him or a even highlight of him.

                            I like the pick from LSU. His highlights make him look like a baller.

                            I like the Biegel pick.
