TE HUNTER BRYANT WASHINGTON
WR TYLER JOHNSON MINNESOTA

If the Packers can't hit on Queen in the first round, and they pass on Murray my suggestion is that they draft a player like Akeem Davis-Gather from App St. The kid is not an interior linebacker but he may be a quality nickel player with his size and flexibility. It will all depend on what his combine looks like. He might be a high second rounder if he blows up the combine.

My take on Davis-Gather is he is a hybrid nickel defender. He could fit the role of an actual nitro backer.

How the hell did you get CeeDee?

[Deputy Nutz]

30 Jalen Reagor, WR TCU - Patrick Queen wasn't available and neither were in any of the top tier tackles. Reagor was one of the last available in my wide receiver tier with a first round grade.

62 Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB Appalachian State

94 Ben Bartch, OT St. John

126 Ben Bredeson, IOL Michigan

The #Packers wound up with 10 draft picks. They received a sixth-rounder from Tennessee for Reggie Gilbert.

Run on QBs and OTs in the mock. ILBs went 24 and 28.

I think Cee Dee is going in the top 15; IF he makes it to 20 he's a guy I'd try to trade up for. I think he's going to be special

I would take this just because of the first name

I haven't looked at too many players yet, but I did look at Gaither some... will depend on how he runs, and if he can carry some more weight.

Lower level of competition, and smallish, but I liked his tape a lot.

If Tua gets to 4, and you think you he's the truth, do you sell your draft to get the third HOFer in a row? Lotta people think the kid is the truth.

Presumably it costs a lot, but it's not like you couldn't then deal Rodgers for a decent haul the following off-season.

Sheeesh, what a load of crap.

Nope. You know what you have in Rodgers, but Tua at the pro level is a question mark. Trading up to 4 would probably cost you every pick basically, there are too many holes in the roster, and Tua's medical is a concern until proven otherwise. He might be the real deal, but I'm not sure if he's worth that kind of cost.
They will have to spend draft capital to find a successor in the next 2-3 drafts (including this one).

Agree -- He's ok. Combine will reveal more. He seems light in the pants and struggles to shed blocks, but he's got range and motor. If he's there in R3 he could develop into a good player, but I think he might go higher.
