Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

The funny thing is that if he had been taken with the 5th overall pick, he'd be a total disaster of a pick, right? But the weird things is that no matter where he was picked, no matter his three cone, the Packers are still stuck with a guy who isn't good enough for the spot he's in without more support. So if they keep him or a guy like him in the middle, they have to get better elsewhere (pass coverage LB upgrade, DL upgrade).

The Packers took Hawk with the 5th pick and I still think they got more production out of Martinez then they did Hawk. It's not Martinez's fault that he had to become the Packers only option on all three downs. He is going to get paid so I would say he was good enough, just not valued by the Packers as an 8 mill a year guy.

I agree. I'm only saying that the value you get from drafting a guy like Martinez in the 4th is that (hopefully) your round 1-3 picks included the better guys at the other LB position and DT/DE, not guys like Hawk and Datone Jones.

Zach Baun getting a lot of good press. I could easily see the Packers trading down and trying to pick up an extra third or fourth here. Given the depth of the positions on the team and make-up of the draft, I have to think they'll manuever accordingly so they can land a WR and OT in the first two rounds. I just don't see how they could pick anything else. Too much strength in the draft paired with too much current and future unknown on the current roster.

Baun is an edge guy in a 3-4, in fact he is taylor made for a team like Pittsburgh/Green Bay. I simply can't see the Packers using a high draft pick on an edge guy, but I said that last year as well. Baun might be able to play a hybrid role in the middle, but to say he is an inside linebacker would be a bit of a stretch.

Baun was the high school player of the year in Wisconsin in 2014. He was the starting Quarterback for Brown Deer High School and he was a phenomenal athlete. His numbers running and even throwing were off the chart. The Badgers got a heck of a steal getting him as a walk on. Some NFL team could be in the same position.

WHO do you want ?

Baun, or da Baconator ?

[Deputy Nutz]

Are you referring to Gary as the "baconator"? If so, the pick was already been made last year and the Packers are going to have to live with it for the next several years. The Smith brothers are really the reason why the Packers don't need to draft another edge player with high draft picks.

I don't think they will draft an Edge defender high unless someone drops to them. The Smiths + Gary are ok, but what happens if one of the Smiths gets hurt? Bring back Fackrell? Baun would likely be a Day 2 pick and GB has bigger needs, but I wonder if he'd be more ready to fill in (or leapfrog Gary for snaps). I also wonder if he could play both inside and outside depending on what Pettine wants to do.

Unless they have decided to move on from Frakle. Who's the backup other than Gary?

Greg Roberts/Randy Ramsey I think? They carried 4 OLBs last year and will probably do the same this year.

[GB-Brandon]

Martinez is nothing more then a “serviceable LB” that is not worth a big contract. We can “find serviceable” in the draft with higher upside.

It’s time to get some pony’s on offense and go for it.

This is a good sign.

Physically he's a beast and obviously he's a grinder. I'm really curious to see if he puts it together.

2 guys I like so far are Patrick Queen, LB; and, Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty Univ.
