    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      Unfortunately, I had a last minute work trip to take this week and never got around to posting my rankings. My general thoughts before round two.

      QB I'm not sure they'll take one, but Logan Woodside is my late round sleeper guy and fits what the Packers like in a QB.
      RB Josh Adams and Jaylen Samuels are a couple of mid round guys that I like.
      WR My final rankings: 1) D.J. Moore, 2) Calvin Ridley, 3) Courtland Sutton, 4) Michael Gallup. Tre'Quan Smith and DaeSean Hamilton fit what the Packers like. Justin Watson and Cedrick Wilson are a couple of sleepers that I like.
      TE My final rankings: 1) Dallas Goedert, 2) Hayden Hurst, 3) Mike Gesicki, 4) Mark Andrews, 5) Ian Thomas, 6) Chris Herndon, 7) Troy Fumagalli, 8) Tyler Conklin. Jordan Akins is a sleeper that I like.
      OT If Connor Williams drops, he's an intriguing possibility because he has versatility. Brian O'Neill is a bit like Jason Spriggs to me. I don't know if that now makes him more or less a possibility for the Packers. The Packers like athletic OL, so some possibilities are Geron Christian, Joseph Noteboom, Greg Senat, and Brett Toth (late round flier on a guy who might not play for a couple of years because of his Army committments).
      OG I really liked: 1) Quenton Nelson, 2) Isaiah Wynn, 3) Will Hernandez, 4) Austin Corbett, 5) Branden Smith. After that, it's kind of a crapshoot.
      OC Good crop. Billy Price was my #1 before his injury, but had dropped below James Daniels on my board. I also liked Frank Ragnow and to a lesser extent Martinas Rankin, Scott Quessenberry, and Mason Cole.
      DT I like the North Carolina State DTs. Other than that, not a lot of guys stood out. Da'Ron Payne had jumped Vita Vea on my board. The more I watched Payne, the more I loved.
      3-4 DE Nathan Shepherd is probably the best 3-4 DE possibility available now. Bilal Nichols is a sleeper.
      3-4 OLB I could see the Packers taking Harold Landry, Lorenzo Carter, or Kemeko Turay in round 2. Not a big fan of Arden Key. Josh Sweat has made it known he wants to play 4-3 DE and he has the medical issues. Some people disagree, but I like the potential of Uchenna Nwosu. Dorance Armstrong and Kyle Fitts are intriguing midround possibilities.
      WLB I'm big on Darius Leonard. Oren Burks is athletic, but the guy can't tackle. Because of my work committments, I never got to the likes of Josey Jewell and Jerome Baker this week.
      SLB In the end I was on the Leighton Vander Esch bandwagon. Some have compared him to Shea McClellin, but he's a much better athlete (more like Brian Urlacher than McClellin). There's a big dropoff at SLB after Vander Esch. Genard Avery is the one that stood out the most to me.
      CB My final rankings: 1) Denzel Ward, 2) Jaire Alexander, 3) Isaiah Oliver, 4) Josh Jackson, 5) Mike Hughes. Early in the process I felt like Gutey might stick with Thompson's height requirement at CB, but I had a feeling late that it wouldn't be the case, and I'm actually glad to see it. Guys I like respective to their rankings are Duke Dawson, Carlton Davis, Nick Nelson, Holton Hill, Brandon Facyson, Michael Joseph.
      S Earlier in the week, I had posted that I liked Terrell Edmunds as a sleeper at S because he was projected to go in rounds 3-4. He went in the first round. I like Justin Reid and Jessie Bates. I think Ronnie Harrison is a bit overrated. Safety is another position I didn't finish evaluating because of work committments.

      If I had to rank my best available for the Packers now:

      OLB Harold Landry, Boston College
      OLB Lorenzo Carter, Georgia
      OT/OG Connor Williams, Texas
      OG Will Hernandez, UTEP
      TE Dallas Goedert, South Dakota State
      OG Austin Corbett, Nevada
      WR Courtland Sutton, SMU
      OLB Kemoko Turay, Rutgers
      OG Braden Smith, Auburn
      WR Michael Gallup, Colorado State
      CB Josh Jackson, Iowa
      TE Mike Gesicki, Penn State
      RB Derrius Guice, LSU
      OLB Uchenna Nwosu, USC
      S Justin Reid, Stanford
      S Jessie Bates, Wake Forest
      RB Nick Chubb, Georgia
      ILB Darius Leonard, South Carolina State

        I’ve seen a few people say his pass rush is limited. He’s a shoulder dip upfield guy and not much else. I’ve only seen a few highlights so dunno if that’s true.

          I am not a big fan of Landry and didn't think he was a first round pick. Apparently NFL GMs felt similar. He might be a value pick in the second round for a team.

          Packers still have picks to move up in the second round and there are quite a few guys that would be worth it.

          This is a list of talent I think is worth moving up for. Sure there are two corners on this list but the Packers secondary could use another top end corner from this draft so they don't have to rely on Williams and House.
          Lorenzo Carter OLB Georgia
          Isaiah Oliver CB Colorado
          Connor Williams OT Texas
          Courtland Sutton WR SMU
          Josh Jackson CB Iowa
          James Daniels OCOG Iowa


          Talent that they can sit and wait for or, or trade back
          Maurice Hurst DT Michigan
          Carlton Davis Auburn
          Justin Reid S Stanford
          DJ Chark WR LSU
          Harrison Phillips DT Stanford
          Christian Kirk WR Texas A&M
          Sam Hubbard Edge Ohio St
          Anthony Miller WR Memphis
          Austin Corbett OG Nevada
          James Washington WR Oklahoma St
          Orlando Brown OT Oklahoma
          Tyrell Crosby OL Oregon

          3rd Round selections
          Duke Dawson CB Florida
          Martinas Rankin OCOG Mississippi St
          Derrick Nnadi DT FSU

            We don't need the second coming of Jamal Reynolds.

              I missed Oliver on my list. He's ahead of Jackson on my CB board.

                I missed Will Hernandez. He is worth trading up for.

                  If there is one guy I would like to target its Conor Williams. He is a beast with a mostly NFL toolbox at OT. If I had faith in Bulaga I wouldn't say T is a need, but....

                    I'm still hoping they draft a WR who lives downfield and a D-Lineman who lives in the opponent's backfield. Courtland Sutton? Nathan Shepherd? Anthony Miller? Rasheem Green? Bueller? Anyone?
                    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                      I don't give a fuck if Orlando Pace is in his prime and sitting there, no fat guy is worth trading up for.

                      A team could sign Peter Griffin off the streets of Baltimore, and he would make a decent LT with some decent coaching. Defensively, the fat guys on that side only do one that well, and that's eat blocks. Any fat guy can eat blocks.

                      For the love of Green and Gold, Gute better not draft a fat guy til the 5th round.

                        This is one of your worst takes ever.

                          Packers might have to roll the dice at RT. They have money invested in Bulaga and two other picks. But if they do draft a RT in the second, that tells you everything.

                            Yes it tells me they can cut Bulaga's injured ass and either start the rookie or hope one of the IR guys can handle the position

                              I would be happy with 2 of these 5. I would love to see Goot Goot make it happen.
