I'm offended. only half?

He throws one of the prettiest deep balls you'll see. Noodle arm lol.

Pretty? Burrow throws lots of wobbling bombs. In the NFL, wobblers cause picks.

True, when he was sexually assaulting college chicks and conspiring to blame black athletes for said misdeeds while at Tennessee, P-Mann threw wobblers too. Got rid of the disorder after his rookie season via a mechanic overhaul. Perhaps Burrow could, too.

Still, Burrow looks more like Flynn than Manning. Then again, after a nice workout, I look hot in one mirror and fat in another. Looks are illusions. Guess time will tell the tale of a forgotten tail named Burrow.

My first few glances at the 2020 draft tells me that this class is weak on offensive tackles, which is an issue because the free agent class of tackles is pretty poor as well. If one of the top 2 or 3 tackles drop to the Packers regardless who is on the Board at WR, LB, and DL the Packers will need to pull the trigger on the offensive tackle.

I know APB, you don't draft linemen at the front end of the draft. I here you, but keeping Rodgers up right is becoming more and more of an issue as he doesn't do as good of a job doing it on his own anymore.

If I was the GM the Tackle I would target would be Jack Conklin from Tennessee. He knows Lafluer's system. It might cost a few bucks, but I think it would be worth it in the long run.

Agree with you in that Rodgers is no longer the drop back, scramble around for 7 seconds, launch TD QB he was in his youth. If he wanna be starting into his 40, he's gonna have to morph into a productive pocket passer.

However, Packers' history of drafting Yokozuna OTs with late 1st rounders has been ugly. Sherrod, Micheles, Verba, Bulaga (injury-prone), etc., were ugly. What's the saying? Ignore history and you're bound to fuck up again. On a side note, pimps like Clifton, Taush, Bak, etc., weren't 1st rounders.

Go WR, WR, WR with the first 3 picks. Pocket Passer Rodgers needs Wu-Tang WRs more than he needs a RT. Plus, the Packers have wasted enough premium draft resources on defensive busts.

You stumbled onto an acorn of truth, APB. Drafting O Tackles in the first round generally is a crap shoot, especially for the Packers, but for most teams. I had been thinking we needed several O Linemen between about the 3rd and 6th round. Having Veldheer look fairly decent and having Lucas Patrick seem worthy of signing makes the need for back ups less obvious. I'd still like to get one good Elgton Jenkins quality guy around the 4th, 3rd, or maybe 2nd round. A lot of times, quality in college or lack of it doesn't translate to quality in the NFL or lack of it with O Linemen.

We also don't need more than hitting on one quality speed burner WR - a Tyreek Hill clone is what I want. Duvernay in the second or third round might be that.

As for the first round pick, I still want a Kenny Clark level D Lineman. If not that, I'll give a longshot position pick: if there is a really sure thing shutdown Corner, we could certainly use him.

Any of the above we do not get in the draft, hopefully Gutekunst will address in free agency. One of the primary reasons the Packers had the season they had this year was his departure from the anti-free agency stance of Ted Thompson. Hopefully, he keeps that up.

When you are drafting at the end of the draft there are no sure fire shut down corners, receivers, edge rushers, or QBS. I would say there aren't too many sure fire picks in the draft anyways but at the end of the first round you are either reaching, or taking a guy that would've gone sooner if not for some type of concern. The value at the end of the round is usually with offensive linemen (interior), Linebackers, Safeties, running backs, and tight ends

In theory, for some of those positions, GB could be in a decent place already: RB (Jones and however you feel about the Williamses), S (Savage), and TE (Sternberger) all have someone who could turn into someone or who did.

[GB-Brandon]

Wow. This is exactly the guy I was looking at and was thinking the same thing. We need someone that can attack and put pressure on the middle of the field “al la Tyreek Hill”. Reagor’s speed could be schemed effectively day 1 in LaFleur’s system. Probably have to take him in first or trade up in 2nd to get him as expected to run low 4.3’s at combine along with 40 inch vert. Very Very explosive athlete.

Cephus would be another one to add that might be gotten in the 4th. Cephus doesn’t have the elite top speed but he is twitchy in short area quickness and has nice hands. He is also tough over the middle.

If we could get these two guys I believe it would be just what the Doctor ordered IMO and give us some weapons that could create more separation for everyone.

[GB-Brandon]

Yes, I believe he is.

[GB-Brandon]

Reagor should absolutely be the target at pick #30. I couldn’t agree with this mock one bit.

The stage for the 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas will be on the water at the Fountains of Bellagio. The players will be transported to the stage by boat.

As a casual fan with limited football smarts and no time to watch college football and certainly less time to do any other research, it is my well thought out opinion that the Packers should draft as many big, fast, athletic, savvy Gud football players at as many positions of need as they can.

But I admittedly know fuck all.
