Official Day 2 (Rounds 2&3) Of The 2018 NFL Draft Thread

[run pMc]

Anyone know the the reason why Landry hasn't been drafted yet?

There was a rumor of a medical flag. Might be smokescreen or trashing by some team.

[run pMc]

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.

If Orlando Pace is in his prime and sitting there, I'd trade up for him. Basically you'd plug and play him for 8 years without a care. Pace >>>> Spriggs/Murphy. Having your OT's lock down the outside rush would make Rodgers more dangerous.
Drafting fat guy DLs with no pass rush high, however...that I could see complaining about. Nowadays you want to avoid drafting 2 down players or one-trick ponies high (unless they do that trick exceptionally well, like rush the passer).

This is one of your worst takes ever.

What's the popular saying about history? Those who ignore history tends to repeat historical mistakes, or the such.

Ever since Wolf created "The Establishment" in '92, the Packers have been prone to drafting abominable fat guys with premium picks. Off the top of my head, here are some of the fat abominations or quasi-abominations the Packers drafted with high picks: Michels, Verba, Sherrod, Bulaga (injure-prone), Raji (one fluke season), Harrell, Datone Jones, Worthy, Spriggs.

Clifton is the only fat guy I can name who didn't suck.

Landry missed games last year due to a bad ankle and looks like teams are passing on him. I'd take a shot if you can get a guy that was considered a top 25 pick by many in the 2nd round.

I agree that you don't need to reach on offensive linemen but the great ones go early. Packers are not in a situation where they can wait and develop a project at right tackle or right guard because they don't exactly have guys ready to go at those positions.

Agreed regarding one-trick ponies.

Taush was a 6th rounder, Bak a 4th, Linsley 5th, Taylor undrafted, Daniels a 4th. Point is, add the Packers' failures in drafting fat guys with premium picks, and history says that the Packers oughta stop wasting high picks on fat guys.

Landrys one trick is a good enough trick for the second round.

So what? This is a completely different point than your previous point. Are you stoned?

Read the posts again. Both posts made it clear that drafting fat guys with premium picks is unnecessary and wasteful.

Something about him I just don't like. I would much rather have Lorenzo Carter. Landry would have to be taught to rush from a two point stance

The first post is saying monumentally stupid stuff about the value of tackles, their skill level, etc. and the second is that the Packers have a poor track record drafting linemen in the first round.

The thing about Carter that is intriguing to me is that he's shaped and has measurables similar to Leonard Floyd. Those guys are usually one trick, speed rushers in college. They have to prove they can do the dirty work (run fits, coverage, etc.) in the pros. Carter has already proved he can do those things at Georgia. He played as elephant in Georgia's 3-4. They asked him to cover. He showed an ability to shed blockers despite his frame. He has all the tools to become a productive rusher. Floyd also played in a 3-4 at Georgia, but that was before Kirby Smart took over. Carter's role wasn't the same as Leonard Floyd there.

Leonard Floyd = 6'6" 248, 4.60 40, 39 1/2" vertical, 127" broad jump
Lorenzo Carter = 6'5" 250, 4.50 40, 36" vertical, 130" broad jump

I expect to see the Packers picking twice in Round 2 today. I would bet my shirt on it. Would not surprise me in the last if the Saints pick gets dealt again today.

The San Francisco 49ers have traded offensive tackle Trent Brown and the No. 143 overall pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for the No. 95 overall pick, according to league sources.

I doubt the Saints pick gets dealt. Gutey gushed about getting a second 1 for next year.
