Day before the Draft

Tytus Howard OT, Alabama ST
Film: Auburn

First Take: The kid is a project because of his size. I wasn't really impressed with him. He struggles to keep his body in balance while pass blocking. His feet look heavy on initial contact which limits his mobility, he bends at the waist when run blocking, and because he plays so up right and his core is weak he collapses at the waist and loses his balance forward. Needs to learn to drop his ass and move his feet and use his length.

He is a RT not a left. Left handed QB. You sure you watched the right guy? I thought he had a hell of a game there against Auburn.

That is an awesome SS for a guy in the middle. I like football players. I like Winovich. I want a bunch of Parcells type hard nosed guys on D.

He’s an ILB tho. Played a hybrid rover role then ILB. He’s an ILB with good run defense and elite pass defense skills. Like I said in my post, he’s kind of a perfect fit next to the guy we’ve got.

[RashanGary]

Cody Barton and Drue Tranquill are two guys who fit what the packers need. Coverage LB who are good enough against the run. A compliment to Martinez.

I hate this 3 day draft format. I liked it much better when it was held on Sat. & Sun..

yuck, no

it was a giant waste of 2 full days

[SMBASS]

yuck, no

I spent my time doing more productive stuff and only paid attention when the Pack was selecting. Lot's more action packed into the 2 days than this boring dragged out 3 day shit. Especially after all of the talking heads having been yakking about it non-stop for months. This just gives them three more days to spew a bunch of worthless crap. Shut up and the make the picks already.

First round on Friday was OK. I prefer 2 days, but Friday night Round 1 sped up the next two days.

Short Shuttle. It was a fast short shuttle for a MLB

Ladies and gentleman, I have found the Packer draft pick after they trade down to 21.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
#Michigan DT Rashan Gary, one of the draft’s top defensive players, has a shoulder that was flagged, sources say. It’s a labral tear from college, and most believe he can play this season, then possibly have surgery afterward. It will likely have to be managed or harnessed, tho

Prescient.

[RashanGary]

Some guys I think fit what the Packers are trying to do



Eric McCoy G/C fits zone. Reliable. Good
Julian Love CB smart. Athletic enough. Makes plays
Cody Barton ILB plus pass defense. Solid run d. Good fit for Martinez
Drue Tranquill ILB same as Barton
Juan Thornhill FS similar to Savage but not as smart
JJ Arcega Whiteside WR Savvy, solid
Dawson Knox TE - plus blocker. Plus athlete. Underutilized
Nate Davis OG - excellent second level blocker. Good zone fit
Jarrett Stidham QB Late round - Gritty, tough, good enough arm
Easton stick QB Late round - gamer
Damien Harris RB 3rd or later - good vision and long speed. Ryan Grant zon type
David Montgomery 3rd or later - zone runner
Ryquel armsted 3rd or later - zone runner
Khleb Saunders - 3rd or later sleeper DT
John Commonsky DE - later round - high upside DL
Anthony Nelson DE - still growing into 6’7” body. High upside

[RashanGary]

I want one of the good tackling, plus pass defense, fast ILBs to pair next to Martinez. Then all of our defensive holes are filled on paper

I like Anthony Nelson a lot too. He’s solid with really high upside

[mraynrand]

Something to consider

We have only drafted 2 offensive players in the first round in the last 13 drafts

Baluga and sherry

Conclusion:

1) Packers suck at picking defensive players
2) Packers refuse to surround Favre/Rodgers with the players they need to win
3) No Supe (rBowl) for you!

[pbmax]

Prescient.

Packers do better when I am wrong.

But now I wonder if the Packers or other interested team leaked that to get him to drop.

[SudsMcBucky]

I feel like Gary has "bust" written all over him. Therefore, he'll probably end up being 10 time pro-bowler, 5 time all-pro.

Great! Looks like I whammied myself!!!
