Who Would You Have Picked Instead?

Thanks for contributing to the thread.

I've found that unless one is in perfect agreement with the ruling forum site prolaterate, your just walking through a minefield without a map. Even not posting an opinion can get you shot at.

Not being part of the "in crowd", I find that being baited, abused, and treated unfriendly is just the risk I take to post here. If posting an independent opinion gets me used and belittled , it explains my infrequent forum activity.

Yes, I have thoughts about this thread's subject, but it is not worth the treatment that it would receive.

Actually a post like this sounds like it's meant to bait overs to give you the treatment

I would respect anybody's views and and am rarely with the majority of views

Just post and defend your opinion - not that difficult.

Generally speaking, if a post sticks to football, people are pretty tolerant (of the poster anyway). Its frequently the case that posts castigating the other posters themselves that tend to start arguments.

I keep wanting to post in this thread, but I have erased it 4 or 5 times. The biggest hole on the defense was at middle linebacker, but the third guy on my list and everyone else's list dropped to the 5th round, so I guess I had know Idea how the position was being evaluated by professionals. The 4th guy on my list didn't even get drafted. I would have liked to see us keep our 4th round picks. I saw good value throughout the 4th round and without them it really limited the Packers ability to move around the draft on the third day.

I thought this receiver class was quite deep, but the lack of players selected in the first round also surprised me. The Packers didn't think any receiver in this draft was worth spending a pick on compared to the guys they already have in house.

I thought this draft would be perfect to let the board fall to each pick for the Packers.

If you're worried about things like this on an anonymous message board, you're doing things all wrong.

I'd read - FWIW - that after the 2 Devins there was a big drop off at ILB, so I'm not surprised many weren't taken until later. I am surprised by how much later, however. I'd have thought Mack Wilson would have been drafted sooner, for example.
The only thing I can figure is that they expect Oren Burks or Josh Jones to be able to play better as LBs. Likewise with the WRs - I half expected them to sign a vet WR (they still might) or draft a slot WR/PR type, but it seems like Gute likes big WRs and believes last year's picks (plus maybe one of Kumerow/Davis) will develop and can play the slot.

It's hard to expect a lot from rookies, so maybe it's good they are counting more on the guys already on the roster? Either way, as it looks now the depth behind Blake Martinez and Devante Adams is not inspiring. Who knows, maybe the Year 2 leap thing happens.

With how Gute approached FA, I expected them to play the board as you did. The first round threw me off.

The only thing about the draft that surprised me was not selecting a OT.. Be interesting to see how that position plays out over the season.

We should have a raffle for when Bulaga goes to for the season. Winner gets a free knee scope.

Radagast, Rad Aghast.

If you have to explain it, it ain't funny. Oh well, you lose some and you lose some more.

This and a post in a different thread about Hayward and Tretter returning to health after leaving Green Bay got me thinking: are the chronic injuries the result of TT drafting brittle players, or are they the result of something McCarthy's regime did or didn't do, or are they something in the water, or are they just dumb luck? With regime change now consummated, if the injuries continue under Gute and the Flower, we will know it wasn't 1 or 2. Bulaga may well be the first pilot study.

Good post, except the last point may not be helpful given how old and beat up Bulaga is - if he's hurt it won't surprise anyone. Now, if Bulaga thrives, that's a huge point in favor of regime change.
