I like a few interior linemen early in this draft

Ladies and gentleman, I have found the Packer draft pick after they trade down to 21.

#Michigan DT Rashan Gary, one of the draft’s top defensive players, has a shoulder that was flagged, sources say. It’s a labral tear from college, and most believe he can play this season, then possibly have surgery afterward. It will likely have to be managed or harnessed, tho

[Smidgeon]

PFF posted their final mock draft (https://www.profootballfocus.com/new...t-5-rounds-1-3).

It's a little different than many of the other mocks out there. But I think I would be okay with this draft if it fell to GB this way:

12. DL Ed Oliver
30. WR Hakeem Butler
44. TE Noah Fant
75. LB Drue Tranquilll

We'd get a TE, a (hopefully) difference maker on the line, and high ceilings in the other two spots.

Day before the Draft

Tytus Howard OT, Alabama ST
Film: Auburn

First Take: The kid is a project because of his size. I wasn't really impressed with him. He struggles to keep his body in balance while pass blocking. His feet look heavy on initial contact which limits his mobility, he bends at the waist when run blocking, and because he plays so up right and his core is weak he collapses at the waist and loses his balance forward. Needs to learn to drop his ass and move his feet and use his length.

That PFF draft is delusional.
NE takes Will Grier over Noah Fant in R1? LOL

I would be so pissed.

Me, too, Smuggler. If Gary is damaged goods already, that does not bode well. And frankly, for all the hype when he came out of high school, he really was not an all-world player at Michigan. He was . . . solid, at best. I don't think I'd draft him, at all. I'd draft Winovich from Michigan before I drafted Gary.

I wish I could short Washington Redskin stock.

Greg Gabriel @greggabe
Reports that Washington is looking to get into Top 5 are 100% accurate. From what I have been told the QB they want is Daniel Jones

Actually, maybe both Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder stock.

Lions tell Devin Bush he would be MLB.

So... they're convinced Giants at 6 will take Jones?

Just making sure you’re looking at the RT not the left. I watched that game and saw him miss one assignment and otherwise play an amazing game. Technique needs polish coming from a less than stellar program. But I still saw what looks to me a good player going against auburn.

Who knows? Its probably even stupider than that.

Grant Paulsen @granthpaulsen
Just talked to a Redskins source who told me Dan Snyder has "taken over the first round of the draft."
The last time that happened the Redskins traded two future No. 1's and a No. 2 to move up for Robert Griffin.


Cannot wait for draft night.

When Art Modell got tired of failing to get WR talent after Reggie Rucker retired, he hijacked the draft process too. Art could have a quick hook, but the real problem was that the replacement was rarely better than the guy kicked to the curb.

However, in 1986 he got Webster Slaughter after consulting with all his ex-skill position players (Warfield, Calvin Hill maybe even Ozzie Newsome). He got him at least a round earlier than he had to, but he got him.

[RashanGary]

I watched some Daniel jones. I was impressed. Looked like an NFL QB. Good release, big arm, could throw under pressure, off balance, good athlete. I wouldn’t be surprised if teams are moving up

And I hope there are 4 QBs taken before the 12th pick. Keep 'em coming.
