Official 2019 Draft Thread

Paul Alexander @CoachPaulAlex
ANDRE DILLARD has ideal physical and athletic traits. Prototypical NFL LT. Was well coached in pass pro this year by @CoachMiller_ Needs some more experience run blocking but sky is the limit. Full disclosure: I worked with him this offseason too. Great kid. Wants it.

[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

I just want everyone to be a fan when we make the pick

[bobblehead]

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.

God I hope the QB they want is there at 12.

I hope Gootie is working the phones tonight. I'd be calling Miami and Washington at 13 and 15 and letting them know the pick is for sale to all. That 12 pick is a nice spot to trade back 3-5 slots and pick up a high 3rd or 2nd.

With that being said, it's being reported by many that the Skins are trying to jump in front of the Giants and get Haskins

MANY are also expecting 3 QB's being taken before GB ; That would be GREAT

Or even 4. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2...for-tight-end/

If that happens, Gutey tries to trade down, if he can find a trading partner.

LIKE THIS DRAFT

I want some Bush; but I'd be pleasantly surprised if they took him over Dillard or J Williams

Seems like Devin White is gone for sure. Oliver too. If either are there at 12 we need to draft them IMO.

And most mocks are now predicting 3 QB's selected before us and maybe 4.

IF that occurs we'll be sitting with a choice of one or both of the top tier ILB's ore OT's.

With the right picks I think our defense can be shitkickers and our offense will be ok due to the elite QB. If both Bush and White are gone I'd prefer Burns or a trade down

If either Oliver or White are there at 12, I think you make the pick. Otherwise, I'm in favor of trading down a bit.

I just watched some Jaylon Ferguson. Dude is an absolute beast. Rushes with speed and power. Just a beast pass rusher. Might be as good of a rusher as the top two.

I also watched the full Alabama game with Jeffry Simmons. Another beast. I’d be so excited to get Simmons and Ferguson. Our front 7 would be looking so bad ass!!!!

Come on Gutey, let’s turn this thing around and build a championship defense!

[Deputy Nutz]

Ferguson Struggled at Senior Bowl practice and although he has good size his combine numbers were a bit disappointing. I am not sold on him before the second round, I would probably pass on him in the second as well.

Bretsky, this is right up there with my Drew Barrymore fantasy: Haskins slips and slips, and is sitting there at #12. Lock, Murray, and maybe even Jones are gone. Turns out Snyder has taken back the game controller, and he wants Haskins, bad. He makes an offer to the Pack, but Miami is drooling over Haskins, too, so they offer up something. Then Dan Snyder pulls a . . . Dan Snyder, and makes a ridiculous offer. The Dolphins, equally desperate, up the ante, and the Packers end up moving back only one spot but in return they get some ridiculous pick, like an extra #2 or Miami's #1 next year.

Oh, and then Drew Barrymore calls me up out of nowhere and tells me to meet her at a local hotel for some hot romance. On the way to the hotel, I stop and buy a bottle of wine and a lottery ticket, and I win four million dollars on the lottery ticket.

Cody Barton is an ILB that I could see us drafting. Just strong enough and solid enough as a tackler to be good. Sorts through traffic and makes a lot of tackles. Specializes in pass defense, and zone coverage. Tested elite in 3 cone and had positional best short shuttle. 4.64 40 with 33” vert.

The short write up would be decent run defender and tackler, specializing in pass coverage. Upper enchelon athlete.

Blake Matinez is just good enough at pass defense and specializes in run defense. Barton is just good enough at run defense and specializes in pass defense. They’d be complimentary pieces. I see Barton as a perfect Packer fit.

6. CODY BARTON, Utah (6-2 ½, 237, 4.60, 2-3): Started 23 of 50 games. “Little bit of a wild horse rider,” said one scout. “Not a bad kid. Will knock the (bleep) out of you. Super fast. Big-time downhill player.” Described by one scout as a classic overachiever. “Man, that (bleep) is a football player,” said another scout. Finished with 235 tackles (24 ½ for loss), nine sacks and five takeaways. “He’s all over the field,” said a third scout. “A really strong, aggressive guy at the point of attack and a really consistent finisher. He’s really good in coverage and a good pass rusher. He does everything pretty well. Nothing excellent.” Recorded the fastest LB clocking in the short shuttle (4.03). Wonderlic of 27. From Salt Lake City, Utah.

That is an awesome SS for a guy in the middle. I like football players. I like Winovich. I want a bunch of Parcells type hard nosed guys on D.

The Green Bay Packers could be on the move in the second half of the draft’s first round Thursday night.

Insider Adam Schefter reported live on ESPN that the Packers are making calls in an attempt to move up from No. 30 overall.


It’s unclear who the Packers would move up for, although Schefter identified the Packers as a “sleeper team” in the quarterback market.

A reasonable target spot for the Packers could be pick No. 21, which is currently held by the Seattle Seahawks. GM John Schneider only has five total picks and will likely attempt to accumulate more, with a trade down from 21 representing one way to do it.

Something to consider

We have only drafted 2 offensive players in the first round in the last 13 drafts
