Official 2019 Draft Thread

[run pMc]

Agree he's boom or bust ("high ceiling/high floor" LOL). He had a bad QB and two other WRs in AJ Brown and Lodge, so his production doesn't look great. The injuries are a big concern IMO...for as muscled up as he is, will be busted for PEDs or unavailable because of tweaked hamstrings and whatnot? The lack of separation is a bigger issue. Maybe the 4.3 speed tells you he can win on a go route, but MVS can run that too. I don't think Metcalf would be a good fit in MLF's offense. I could see him fitting better with someone like Bruce Arians.

I'd be nervous about drafting him with a top 10 pick if I were a GM...usually those guys have their job on the line with that kind of pick.

I agree there are enough other WRs out there who could be found in Day2 and maybe Day3 that could be solid contributors.

As for the Packers interest, I'd think it more likely that it's a smokescreen...they brought AJ Brown in for a visit, not Metcalf. Might be misdirection to get the masses linking GB to the wrong Ole Miss WR. Either way, I don't know how anyone can believe any rumors this time of year...every team is pumping out misinformation like crazy.

Metcalf is only fast in a straight line. I think he’s garbage.

[pbmax]

I would just blast this as a measure of Mel Kiper's increasing ineffectiveness and irrelevance, but the Packers GM does love size/speed prospects.

It could be a smokescreen. Then again, bringing in AJ Brown could be a smokescreen if they want to disguise that they like Metcalf. Who knows? If TT were still the GM I don't think he'd be on the Packers radar in the early rounds. TT liked to draft WR's who caught LOTS of passes. But perhaps Gutey looks at a a completely different set of parameters.

I think Gute has a good eye... don't think he'd make a mistake on Metcalf.

Burks last year was a major WTF, but he was the only one. Still can't wrap my mind around that Burks pick.

Just my personal preference, but I still don't want Burns, Sweat or definitely not Metcalf at 12. I'm even beginning to wonder if White is worth the pick if he's still available. I'm still thinking that if things play out correctly you may be able to drop down a few spots, gain another high pick and still get a player in the same tier.

I have a feeling Bosa may end up being the player that drops some and surprises everyone.

Trade back and still get a great player.

Ask and you shall receive. 3 Badger OL in round 1. Remember when OL was a weakness under Anderson and Chyst's first year?

This mock draft is all out STUPID from a Packer point of view - and I really don't give a shit about any other point of view.

[Deputy Nutz]

Talking about receivers, the 2018 receiver class was about a b- in terms of potential. This class is an A in terms of potential. In 2018 no rookie wide receiver went for a 1000 yards. The closest was Calvin Ridley who had 64 catches for 821 yards. 2 running backs where in the top 3 in catches. MVS had over 500 yards receiving at 15.3 yards per catch and was drafted in the 5th round. Statistically he was a top 10 rookie wide receiver, especially if you subtract the two running backs. It wasn't a strong receiver class last year, and the Packers managed to grab one in the 5th round that put up top ten numbers for rookies. Ridley went in the second round.

Wide Receiver is a position that is not known for immediate production. Potential is usually not fully realized until the third year on receivers. If fans are looking for an immediate impact position in the first round the best route seems to be defensive back, offensive line, running back, and linebacker.

Woof, big hell no to Metcalf. This is a defensive player draft. Choose the BPA that's not Metcalf and keep it simple.

and our QB does like the long ball along the sideline which seemed to be metcalfs bread and butter

pretty much every draft for us the over the last decade has been a "defensive player draft"

and we still suck on defense

[RashanGary]

Maxx Crosby DE eastern Michigan is a beast. Explosive af. Reminds me of the way clay used to close.

[wist43]

If Taylor, White, Burns, and Oliver are gone - then yes, I'd be ok with trading back.

If any one of those 4 is there - make the pick.
