Official 2019 Draft Thread

I still say we do not need to draft a WR, certainly not in the early rounds, but if this guy Williams' past causes him to drop enough and we could get him about in the 5th round, then he would be worth a shot.

Actually I've seen 2 big boards and one mock draft that have Williams listed at 200+, which would make him a 7th round pick. He's a size/speed prospect whose 2018 season was his only productive season in college. He sat out 2017 because he transferred from Tennessee to Colorado St.

Wondering what Badger fans think of Michael Deiter maybe as a 3rd round pick.

He'd be an amazing fit for GB
No brainer that I'll be poinding the table for if he's still there
He can play multiple positions and play them well.

David Edwards, despite was Tex says, is also going to be a very good pro

[Bretsky]

I consider Deiter the best of the Badger O Linemen. I was thinking 4th round, but maybe 3rd wouldn't be bad either.

Edwards is going round 2 and it would not surprise me to see Deiter late 2 or round 3. I hope GB gets him in round 3

Don't know what you guys are looking at with Deiter... I just watched some of the SR Bowl practices, and Deiter got his ass kicked on every rep.

I am not exaurating, he was quite literally the worst OL taking reps.

Based on the SR Bowl practices, I'd be surprised if Deiter is even drafted.

Wisty.....I didn't see any Senior Bowl stuff but you seem to be Anti Badger

Didn't you hate TJ Watt too ?

Yeah, I'm gun shy of Badgers transitioning to the pros.

That said, Deiter was absolutely horrible in the OL/DL drills I watched.

I'm on the road and can't post the link... maybe one of you guys can post it for me??

It's Sr Bowl north practice, Voch Lombardi analysis... think it was day 2, cant remember - but I'll check.

The Wisconsin duo of Michael Deiter and Beau Benzschawel also had their struggles. Deiter appeared to be a step slow off the snap and didn’t get much push, while Benzschawel tended to play a little high and struggled with lateral agility and ended up allowing 4-5 pressures.

I believe these comments were from the game on Saturday.

The more Mock drafts I read and the more I think about who will be available and what positions are deep I can't see many scenario's other than the packers going edge at 12 and TE at 30. There are just too many edge guys available compared to other drafts to NOT grab one of them at 12. Unless there is a bigger run on them than anyone is predicting at 1-11, in which case OT or trade down seems most likely. TE just happens to be where need will meet BPA at the back end of the round.

If there are too many EDGE guys, shouldn't they trade back or wait?

Or they all going early?

Here's that SR Bowl OL/DL Day 2 Drill with Deiter getting repeatedly whooped.

There seem to be just enough. Allen and Bosa go top 5 in every mock. After that Polite, Farrell and Sweat go anywhere from 6 to 14. We pick 12. Any of those guys project better than anyone outside of Chubb from last years draft. Polite goes to GB most often. Farrell seems to have the widest range. Sweat is the sexy pick since the senior bowl, but honestly won't likely go top 12. Burns sneaks up there in several drafts as well. I just see a scenario where there is ONE edge left that they like above the others when they pick. Who it will be? No idea.

OK, so they are near but not in too much danger of being at the end of the EDGE run.

My hope is they take two edgies in the hope of hitting big on one. They really need to shore up that position that has been woefully inept since 2014ish.
