Official 2019 Draft Thread

Big year for pass rushers in the draft. I guess if we have to have a down year, it would make it worth it if we got a stud pass rusher out of the deal. And next year AR will have better chemistry with the WRs and with Graham. So we’re just having a down year. Oh well.

Packers lead the league in sacks. Stud pass rusher is not their greatest need. Safety much more of a need. As is Guard IMHO.

Great. Lets pick another safety. But you're right.

We have no LB's... position needs to be completely rebuilt.

Packers currently with 17th pick.

I wonder if wist cannot do the dishes if the house is out of dishwasher detergent.

Martinez is a good LB IMO

Wisty, you still think Fackrell sucks ? He's at least showing moves.

The rest look like riff raff

Joe Reed is just tearing it up for VA versus VA Tech - WR and kick returner. Will he return or go pro? Keep an eye on this guy, he's got moves.

Unlike QB, you can never have too many stud pass rushers. Its something you value every year with every pick. Adding a stud rusher covers so many weaknesses.

This.

If we add an EDGE guy, pick up a safety, TE and guard 2019 should be a hell of lot more fun than this mess we have right now.

Yes, but Pettine is blitzing a lot to get those sacks. Plus some better coverage.

I get your point, especially now that Fackrell has now been UNLEASHED!, but I would like more front four pressure and a safety.

I don't know which I would take if the two were evenly rated when they pick in Round 1.

My guess would be Gutey stays put with his own 1st round pick (18ish), and trades the Saints pick for an early 2nd and 3rd. That would give him a 1st, 2 2nds, 2 3rds and 2 4ths.

Year after Year after Year we talk about an ideal trade down like this. Maybe trade a 1st into the 2nd and pick up an extra third. And then possibly even package a 3rd and 4th to move back into the 2nd. Sounds ideal; but it doesn't seem to happen often. My guess is there are a lot more teams trying to go this than those moving up

You mean like last year when they traded #14 to New Orleans for #27 and Saints 1st round pick in 2019? And then traded #27 and a 3rd round pick to move up to #18? In 2008 they traded #30 to Jets for #36 (Jordy Nelson) and a 4th round pick. It doesn't happen often, but maybe it's something Gutey will want to try again.

[Joemailman]

Packers currently have the 14th pick. GBN Report on their big board has #14 overall...

Deionte Thompson FS 6-0, 215 4.50 Alabama JR

Any thoughts on the Packers drafting a Safety from Alabama in the 1st round?

No, Fackrell isn't a player... Martinez is the only guy they should identify as being worthy of a roster spot next year... and I'd be looking to replace him as well.

Our LB'ing Corp is a shambles.
