DRAFT DAY WISHES FOR ROUND ONE PICK 14

[Deputy Nutz]

There are 4 guys I would move up from 14to get, Chubb, Fitzpatrick, Ward, and James. James might be there at 14.

We need to start mocking Round 1 soon?

New thread with poll for each pick or the old fashioned way where everyone takes a team?

That sounds tedious.

We've usually had everyone take a team or teams, with the Packers pick determined by a poll.

If we moved up 2 spot I think James or Fitzpatrick or Ward are there.

Chubb is going way higher

I think Ward and James will go top 10 easily. I think Fitzpatrick has the best chance of falling. The guys in the draft that I think are the most can't miss are Barkley, Ward, James, Edmunds, and Chubb. If one of those guys falls to #10, I think they would be worth trading up for.

Isaiah Oliver would be my wish in round 2, Michael Gallup in round 3, and Austin Corbett or Joseph Noteboom in the middle rounds. I doubt some of those guys are going to fall as far as they are projected.

[Smidgeon]

The way I see it, these starting positions have major holes on the roster and don't have an already-on-the-team solution:

WR2 (Cobb early in the year, but he isn't an outside receiver)
CB2
SS (maybe Jones shows better in year 2 than he did during his rookie season)

In the draft, like everyone, I want to see an impact position even if it doesn't fill a position of need. But how do you solve these positions if the draft does not supply talent?

Run Cobb outside all year moving inside when Allison comes in as WR3?
Put Josh Jones at the other safety spot and live with the growing pains?
Barter with Father Time for the soul of Tramontana?

OK, what are you waiting for?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm good with Jones and Brice at S opposite Burnett. Jones has crazy talent. Let him play. Took Sharper and Collins a few years to become studs. I have no idea why Brice didn't get drafted, but I still think he has a bright future.

Need CB, OLB, WR, OL, TE with our 8 picks in the first 5 round (doubling up at a couple of those positions)

list of guys i wouldn't mind taking at #14

not in order

tremain edmunds
landry
chubb (not a chance he's there)
davenport
roquan smith
denzel ward
josh jackson
quenton nelson (can't miss guard from ND)
connor williams- OT
mike mcglinchey- OT
calvin ridley
courtland sutton

like i said in the other thread, by releasing jordy and keeping a next to worthless cobb, and not signing anyone else (jordan mathews). that leaves us with adams (who had 2 too many concussions last season), and maybe monty if he can make the switch back. we almost have to draft at least 1 stud in round one, and maybe another in round 2 or 3. and we have to do that just in order to make our offense functional. this team goes nowhere without a-rod and a nice group of recievers. so fixing the D, or finding better o-line talent might just have to wait another year

[pbmax]

Still more worried about DBs. If pass rush falls to 14, great. If they can trade up to 10 for value on the dollar, OK.

But taking an OLB just to take one without special pass rush skills is a fools' errand.

Offense will find a way.

IMO, the way things stand now, we must draft a starting-quality WR in Round 1 and, like you say, another top quality WR talent later. Fortunately or unfortunately, in GB our best defense is a great offense, and that means Arod and the pass game. As you point out, we have no quality depth at WR after Adams and maybe Cobb. No defensive player within our reach at #14 will impact our chances to win more than, say, Ridley and/or Moore. Ridley and/or Moore would be good for at least a TD per game. Which individual defensive draftee within our reach could you say that about?

I feel pretty good about the trio of Monty/Jones/Williams + Graham, Adams, and Cobb.

Not to mention this is the year Davis breaks out. And Geronimo is a pretty decent #4 receiver, when he isn't fumbling away the season.

[Joemailman]

Jimmy Graham is as much an oversized WR as he is a TE. A lot of teams have worse than Adams/Graham/Cobb. I also suspect that getting Cobb closer to the player he was in 2014 will be a major goal of McCarthy and Philbin as they revamp the passing offense. The bigger question is who will they have at the true TE position other than Kendricks.
