Official 2019 Draft Thread

and

since we are drafting this high, IF a QB falls to 12, do we pull the trigger like we did with rodgers? then let the guy sit for a few years

i don't know if you can rule it out with rodgers age and is drop in play this year

I would. But you want to have that conversation prior to the draft, which Ted never did.

What's the dope on Jachai Polite?

Jachai Polite is being billed as a pass rush specialist, and while it’s true that is often how Florida deployed him, he has played against the run plenty this season and more than held his own. What Polite lacks as a point-of-attack powerhouse he makes up for with good technique, exceptional range and the ability to slip blocks and make plays behind the line of scrimmage.

Yes, I’d like to see the NFL put some more meat on his bones, but Polite plays sudden and physical, which are better traits to have than bulk. His pass rush game is pretty polished, and his ability to win with speed and bend opens up inside counters all day. NFL teams may overlook him because of his frame, but the traits are here for Polite to be a double-digit sack guy at the next level. The one catch? He might not be as scheme diverse as the other top guys due to his size limiting him to a 3-4 outside linebacker role.

rodgers is the same age that favre was when we drafted his eventual replacement

It's definitely worth considering, though I haven't seen many QBs with a 1st round grade this year (1 or 2?) so there's a good chance 12 is a spot where QB won't be BPA. I'm still hoping for pass rush or OL in this spot in this draft.

31/32 might be a spot to grab a deal if a guy falls.

Some sites, like cbs, now have 3 qbs going between #6 and #11

We is still the premium position. QBs that should be 2nd or 3rd rounders go in the top 10 these days

Another reason, and this may be the best reason of them all, as to why we need a guy like Polite. After watching the pathetic effort from guys like HHCD the past few years, this would be refreshing...

The 2019 draft class got a big addition today when Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins announced in a tweet he would forego his senior season and enter the draft.



We heard last month that Haskins had received a first round grade from the draft’s advisory board, and this move had been widely expected for a while now. At this point Haskins seems like a lock for the first round, and unless something goes wrong, is a heavy favorite to be the first quarterback taken this April.

The more QB's drafted in thee 1st round, the better for the Packers. Jags and Giants will probably draft QB's before the Packers pick. Maybe Broncos.

Apparently the Clemson QB is a better prospect than Andy Luck and will be the #1 pick next year.

He is a true freshman, can’t come out until after his 3rd year.

yup

and its insane that guy is only a true freshman

maybe we should be going into full tank mode for the next couple of years to get that #1 pick in 2021

Ahhh understood. Seems like a special, premier QB comes around every 10 years or so. Hopefully we're either Super Bowl contenders or we're tanking by then.
