Official 2019 Draft Thread

[mraynrand]

why are we being linked by so many places to a QB in the first round?

we are years away from being able to move on from a-rod, thanks to that idiot deal we just gave him because we were "disrespecting him", by him not being the highest paid QB (which he isn't again)

This team needs another QB. Developing a higher draft pick at this point makes sense. Not sure who would be worth it, but you never knows who falls to you!

by the time we need another QB, we're gonna have to pay that guy starter money, without ever starting

if we see a guy the team really likes in any other round to to be the backup, and one day become a starter, then fine, but don't waste one of the first rounders please

maybe we should go back to the old days where we draft a QB almost every year in the mid to late rounds

when was the last time we actually drafted a QB?

i looked it up,
2015 with hundley in the 5th
2012 in the 7th with bj coleman

then 2008 with brohm in the 2nd and flynn in the 7th

is our starting QB's ego that fragile where we can't even draft a backup?

I think their are under performers at every position that you could make a list of, and make the claim not to draft the position early in the draft.

If I had to choose between Bush and White, I would choose Bush

[red]

bushs size scares me. he looks like a midget on the field

but i guess he's only an inch shorter then white

he just somehow looks a lot smaller to me

[Deputy Nutz]

Bush plays better down hill. He will shoot gaps and seems to play a little more aggressively.

I still say I wouldn't draft either one of them at 12.

[call_me_ishmael]

I would really like the Packers to explore a move back and then trade up to acquire another one next year like they did last year if my dude the DT isn’t available. Picking at 17 and getting Hockenson would be a tremendous pick up.

Next year is the QB year in round one in my opinion.

So who's on your short list of "won't think twice to draft this guy" at 12?

Wait. That's a good thread topic.

[bobblehead]

Bobble, your post did inspire me to go back and watch more film of both. And my opinion of Bush went up.

I still like White slightly better and think he was a little better in college and with good coaching to give him the mental edge as well he steps right in to start and sees many Pro Bowls.

But Bush has elite ability at ILB as well that we as Packer fans never get to see in Green n Gold

I probably prefer Oliver over both, but I'd be content with Bush at 12 if he is gone

I'd love to have an elite guy in the middle and Bush is NOT making it to 30

Oliver will not be there at 12. I think my first post I made when the mocks started was that if he was available we would basically have to take him. Pretty sure sweat won't be there either, but you can't be certain with him. Again, mocks are mockable. I even doubt Dillard will be there to be honest. GMs get paid a lot of money to not read mocks and assess talent independently. If the top GMs in this draft let guys like Oliver, Sweat and Dillard slip past 10 then they should be fired. Oliver for sure doesn't slip to us. I doubt the other 2 will, but you never can tell. If 3 desperate teams grab QBs then just Maybe..... A BPA first 11 leaves us with options I'm not thrilled at, but I have accepted we very well might trade down if the opportunity arises.

[bobblehead]

Past has nothing to do with right now. Hockenson is a difference maker. Whatever TEs before him did doesn’t matter. All that’s gonna matter is what he does. And IMO he’s worth the 12th pick, especially for our team the way it’s put together right now.

That is why I'm warming to the pick. LaFlavor is likely to utilize Hockenson and we don't have anyone like him....since...Ever.

[bobblehead]

is our starting QB's ego that fragile where we can't even draft a backup?

Given when and how he was drafted this would be....strange.

This is what I have been saying since I actually watched both play instead of just reading what others said.

They drafted like they needed one leading up to Rodger's ascendancy. But since then they have all but ignored it. To me, that is evidence that Ted was in win now mode.

[pbmax]

Mock's are giving a QB to the Packers because of the memory of Rodgers getting drafted that was stirred up by inviting Lock to GB for an interview/workout.

[RashanGary]

Nutz, thought you’d be interested to know bob McGinns draft preview talked about Ferrell. Some thought he was ok. Others though he was the next Terrell Suggs. So your high opinion of him is not standing alone.

[RashanGary]

Chris Lindstrom is an OG with elite movement and very good pass pro. Lane Taylor being 30 and a bad fit for zone, it might be nice to get a top tier OG fit at 44.
