Can you boycott Packerrats instead?

I will if Eddie Pleasant catches more picks than, say, David Bakhtiari next season. And I’m holding the fucking nut, so I ain’t bluffing.

Picks? #35? Josh Rosen is reading this and he’s lol-ing. McCarthy’s head was on the line, and #35 still Mr. Hyded Rosen’s gimme pick-6.

Fanspeak Draft

[Gotarace]

Nutz...Thank you for taking the time to make the off season here much more enjoyable. I for one really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into the draft. I have watched much of the film you posted and about used up the Fanspeak draft simulator you posted on this thread. A tip of the Hat Sir!!!

This was a BPA draft as I only allowed myself a three player deviation from how the board rated the players. I was going to select Thornhill instead of Adderley, but he was rated 4 players lower when the pick was made and I wanted to stay consistent my bpa decision.

R1 - 12 - Devin Bush Jr., LB - Michigan
-- The type of 3 down player in todays NFL that every team looks for at the position. Can cover rbs out of the backfield and has even lined up in the slot covering the TE in college. Having Martinez at his side is a perfect complement to his abilities and range.

R1 - 30 - Cody Ford, OT - Oklahoma
-- Fant was available at this pick, but the possibilty of having Ford at RT to replace Bulaga in the future was to great to pass up. Has incredible feet and balance for such a large body.

R2 - 44 - Nasir Adderley, S - Delaware
-- Much will be made of Adderely's small school background but you can ignore the chatter. Having started out as a corner before moving to safety, Adderely has the ability to play both single high and play man coverage in the slot. His playmaking at the back paired with Amos will transform a weakness into a strength in Green Bay.

R3 - 75 - Jace Sternberger, TE - Texas A&M
-- There is a lot to like about Sternberger's game: Soft hands, smooth routes, a huge catch radius and his experience being flexed out in different positions in college. Like most young TE, he needs to increase his play strength and improve his blocking which in time could be passable. If he reaches his potential, it will be catching the football.

R4 - 114 - Justice Hill, RB - Oklahoma State
-- Runs with exceptional balance and has smooth change of direction skills. Will start out as a change of pace player who has the ability to run and catch out of the backfield with the upside of a focal point of a rushing attack. Ideally suited for a zone-heavy running scheme.

R4 - 118 - Trysten Hill, IDL - UCF
-- Quickness and power are clear strengths on tape but lack of discipline and inconsistent technique show on film. Has the ability to be a disrupter on the field. His motor will never be questioned but his lack of awareness as plays develop will prevent him from being anything more than a rotational piece.

R5 - 150 - Demarkus Lodge, WR - Ole Miss
-- Very fluid in his movements and has the ability to snap off his routes but too often rounds them off. Needs to be better at catching balls out away from his body and he tends to short arm catches. Hands are a question at times. Watch his film and you wonder from play to play if he is the same guy as he makes a great catch on a tough throw and then drops an easy ball.

Writeups are a combination of some film tape, reading other takes and summarizing thoughts. I can't imagine doing this full time as it takes a lot of time and energy to watch film clips for only the players above. To think doing this for hundreds of players.

Hate Bush at 12, and like Thornhill over Adderley - although I do like Adderley.

Warming up to Tillery... PFF is very high on him, and saw him to us in a couple of mocks at 12. That prompted me to look closer at him.

I'd take Bush in GB without hesitation but not at pick 12

To me he's clearly the second best ILB and a tier above the rest.

Would LOVE to see Oliver at 12 an Devin Bush at 30

[Bretsky]

On the other hand I too just don't think GB cares about ILB's

This Mock makes sense. I'm having
some difficulty in my thinking we need a certain addition and weapon at Receiver (TE or WR or both...early).

Alternatively AARON RODGERS NEEDS STRENGTH ON THE OL.

I like this mock draft also. I'd rather get Devin White, but Bush is the next best thing. The smart way to go is drafting for need. It would take one helluva bargain BPA to override that. The rest of it is pretty much on track too although I STILL want a Kicker in the mid to late rounds.

We have need at OL and on the right side.

We need a Real No. 2 WR. Unless Graham bounces back where is Red Zone offense and The TE Position?

We need a solid Free Safety.

An improvement on the Pass Rush is always a bonus. It's given the history not coming from ILB.

Take a simple look at what's there after pick NO. 11 AND GO WITH THE VERY BEST PROSPECT TO BE AN IMPACTFUL STARTER...ROLL THE DICE !

I made this point before - we have "need" everywhere, just no glaring needs. So from that perspective, BPA wouldn't be out of line at any position.

That said - no way to Hockenson, Metcalf, or Bush at 12.

If White, Burns, and Taylor are gone - I'm fine with Dillard, Jonah Williams, or Oliver at 12.

I think the keys to this draft are picks 30 and 44.

If you go Taylor or Dillard at 12, that likely moves you on from guys like Risner and Lindstrom at 30/44. Same thing with Oliver or Tillery at 12... no Jeffrey Simmons.

One position I think we address at 30/44 is Safety. I like Thornhill, Adderley, and Savage. Don't like Rapp as much. Ditto Abram.

[RashanGary]

I just watched some hockenson tape. Dude is a star. Fluid, smart, natural at everything, blocks. He’s worth #12. Would change our offense.

I love Hockenson

But not at 12

If I want him I'd trade down five to seven slots and I think he'd be there

I have at Safety:

1. Juan Thornhill 2. Darnell Savage 3. Nasir Adderly 4. Chauncey Gardner 4. ...maybe later look at Evan Worthington - Colorado . . . my notes: Worthington is versatile on 'D' and this has to be an exaggeration but for what it's worth " plays all over the field ".

Oliver goes before our NO. 12 PICK.

Is anyone looking at OT Olisaemeka Udoh , Elon as a RT Prospect? Or TE Andrew Beck in later Rounds and good value?

How about EDGE Ronheen Bingham - Arkansas State and he is 6 ft 2 inches and weighs 243lbs. SIZE!?

[woodbuck27]

Aaron will stall without targets he trusts. The Packers need to address that likelihood or turn him into another Gunslinger.
