And then Janis left.

And then Janis left.

He said “catch the ball”.

Chad Reuter with 4 round mock draft: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ade-up-for-qbs

Packer picks:

PICK 12

T.J. Hockenson - TE
School: Iowa | Year: Sophomore (RS)
It's a coin flip whether the Packers take Ed Oliver or Hockenson here, but in this scenario, Green Bay gets a receiving threat for Aaron Rodgers and a fierce blocker for the run game.

PICK 30

Johnathan Abram - S
School: Mississippi State | Year: Senior
After addressing an offensive need with the 12th pick, the Packers find a leader for the secondary in Abram.

PICK 44

Kaleb McGary - OT
School: Washington | Year: Senior (RS)
Right tackle Bryan Bulaga's future with the Packers is in doubt due to injuries that have limited him to just two 16-game seasons in nine years. McGary will be a solid starter for the Packers whenever he takes over the starting gig.

PICK 75

Zach Allen - DE
School: Boston College | Year: Senior
Allen is a powerful 5-technique prospect who could make things easier for the Packers after the 2019 season if Mike Daniels departs as a free agent.

PICK 114

Anthony Johnson - WR
School: Buffalo | Year: Senior (RS)
Though the Packers selected three receivers in last year's draft, they will look for value at the position this year, as well. Johnson's strong routes and hands make him a valued middle-round pick.

PICK 118

Trayveon Williams - RB
School: Texas A&M | Year: Junior
Williams will be a fine addition to the Packers' backfield, which may need depth if Aaron Jones struggles with knee injuries again in 2019.

Exactly

We wanted so badly for Janis to be that guy, now it kumerwhatever

Packer fans love their white players

MANY have GB getting the Iowa TE at pick 12; IMO that would be crazy.

If they picked him over Oliver I think I'd throw up on myself

Metcalf/Greedy

If you go solely off this video, there's not much to make you recommend Metcalf.

----

Hype or no, I realize this is considered a good TE class but I don't see 5 TE going in R1...and let's be honest, Dawson Knox is maybe the 5th best TE. I do think there will be a run on TEs in R2-3, and unless you're convinced Hock is a year 1 starter and destined for All Pro greatness a high R1 pick is pretty rich for a TE.

JMHO

Gute will keep us guessing.

It's interesting. Like you said there are a lot of sites that have Gutey taking Hock at 12. Yet when I do a mock on those interactive draft sites like Fanspeak or Draft Network, he is usually available at 30. Which would make a lot more sense.

[texaspackerbacker]

This Reuter thing seems pretty stupid. It kinda typifies the out of touch and disrespectful attitude that media and outsiders often have. How could the idiot think we go 4 rounds without an ILB?

I'm fairly sure Gutekunst will bring in a lot better group than that.

[call_me_ishmael]

I highly doubt Hochenson will be available at 30 but I am just another draft pundit. Seems like he is a special talent at the position and basically a sure-fire pro bowler.

Yup, how does a big slow TE, fit in a rods system of looking for the long ball along the sideline on every play?

So, still a 50/50 chance of being a bust

Seems to be stats not worth looking at imo
