Official 2019 Draft Thread

TT pressed on that pick. He picked for need. I wonder how much his coach was lobbying him to get me a damn CB that can play. I just over looked TT's recent drafts that everyone was so down on. I only really saw one bad one.

If you truly believe that, it's tough to take your opinion on football related matters seriously. His drafts from 2012 on have been total garbage. Arguably 2011 too IIRC. I did a detailed breakdown that clearly illustrates this point.

If the draft is deep at EDGE rushers, but not at Safety, and the best Safety is on the board when the Packers pick, it make make sense to take the Safety and draft EDGE with your other 1st round pick. That's kind of the argument some have made for why TT should have drafted TJ Watt. That was a deep draft at CB but not at EDGE.

Safety is where they need the greatest talent upgrade. Right now they have Tramon Williams, who isn't even a Safety, and undrafted guys. Unless Josh Jones develops.

You can win with a stop gap at safety. Find any fast guy and he can be an okay free safety. See Williams being serviceable. You can win with okay safety play.

They need pass rush. Despite the sack numbers and Sackrell, they have a terrible pass rush. It doesn't pass the eye test and they cannot generate pressure without blitzing, which creates a host of other problems for the team and why they're garbage. They have a top tier D coach, time to get him some pass rushers.

Yep. They have virtually nothing. You can't get pass rush with a bunch of bums. They have two decent players on defense: J"Xander and Clark. Something to build around but they need guys everywhere.

Packers currently have the 12th pick.

this site says the 11th pick (if the draft was held today). unless there's a drastic change we'll have 3 of the top 50 picks.

The tie throws things off. There are 5 4-8 teams, including the dirty birds coming to Lambeau this week. Half a game separates the 4th through the 11th slots.
