Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[GB-Brandon]

I'm the head cheerleader for getting rid of Martinez, and of course I've always been of the opinion that Burks is the worst football player on the planet.

Watched a little tape on Brooks - admittedly not much, but still I didn't like what I saw.

If you watch enough of it you will see his “Nation Leading 20 Tackles for loss”

I'll watch more as we get to the draft, but what I did see wasn't very good. Too often he took bad angles... that was the big thing that jumped off the tape.

I'll watch more though.

I see a lot of discussion on our needs at both WR and ILB.

Despite all that, the best value at the end of the first round (unless we trade back), will probably lead us to taking an OL or DL player. That's where I'm putting my money on what our first pick will be.

WR, CB, OL or DL. But yeah, at 30 you take the most impactful player that slips through

Trade down is a strong possibility. especially if none of the top ILB's are available (or if Gutey doesn't have a 1st round grade on any of them). Trading down 10 spots could bring a late 3rd round/early 4th round pick.

Every year we say this; I am more guilty that others.

I constantly call for a trade back of a dozen spots. And then trading up a dozen spots or so to get your guy in either round 2 or round three with the goal be to get three studs in the draft.

I would agree completely with your sentiment. It doesn't seem to every happen though

His Baylor tape was his worst while his Oklahoma State tape is definitely worth looking at. Regardless, we need someone that can “shoot some gaps” making plays behind the LOS and adding more overall speed to the middle of the defense. If we could put him in a situation where he has a clear read on RB or target he would quickly become a “Lambeau Legend” and fan fav. His “first step” is rather elite.

If he is used in a situation that requires him to shed blocks consistently and is asked to overcompensate for others missed assignments(Like the Northwestern Twins Breed) then we would become quickly disappointed.

Too me he projects to be the Packers best ILB since Desmond Bishop if we can get him.

I think the reality needs to set in that if we don’t go out and get Littleton we’re gonna be watching Oren Burks cover guys all year and that should warrant major cause for concern.

Would love to see a run made for Nick Kwiatkoski of the bears...the kid has a nose for the football and a motor that doesn't quit

I would bless this as well if it was fiscally smart

[pbmax]

Here is TT versus OkieSt but its just the longest highlights package I could find. Says its 2019 game.

[Joemailman]

Tex has talked about the prospect of moving Lazard to TE. Bob McGinn mentioned it as well. A better idea might be to draft Chase Claypool of Notre Dame. He's a little bigger than Lazard and has good hands. Might still be available in 5th round.

What do you mean. We traded back for Kevin King so we could also nab Biegel. And you bitch about it to this day (n fairness so do I)

[Joemailman]

Gutey has certainly shown a willingness to move around the draft board. In 2018 he traded down from 14th to 27th and picked up a 5th plus the Saints 2019 1st round pick. He then traded the 27th pick, a 3rd round pick and a 6th round pick to Seattle for the 17th pick to draft Alexander, plus a 7th round pick.

In 2019 he stood Pat with the 12th pick. But then he traded the 30th pick, from the Saints plus 2 4th round picks to Seattle for the 21st pick and drafted Darnell Savage.

So a combination of trading both up and down in the early rounds is certainly possible with Gutey.

It hardly ever happens IMO and every year we ask for it

And that was NOT the year to do it. An all pro Edge fell right into his lap and he ignored it.
