Packers projected 2021 draft priorities

[RashanGary]

Cap losses:
Aaron Jones, Kevin King, Corey Lindsley

Cuts:
Wagner, Kirksey, Preston (save 18M in cap space)

That's a lot of solid veteran pieces departing in one offseason. Most good team's with tight salary caps are gonna lose a bunch too. So it's gonna be league wide changes.

Offense
QB - Low priority
RB - Re-sign Williams 4m/year. Dillon cheap. Moderate priority
WR - Re-sign Davante, Lazard, MVS. Develop Malik. Moderate priority
TE - Tonyan, Mercedes, Deguara injury recovery season, Sternberger might bust with his god awful pass protection getting 12 killed. Moderate priority
OL - Bakh, Jenkins, Patrick, Runyan, Turner. Mid/high priority

Defense
Safety - Amos/Savage, Redmond, Greene - moderate priority as Amos could play ILB if a good one fell to us
ILB - Barnes/Martin. Mid/high priority
OLB - Z/Gary. Mid/High priority
DL - Re-sign Adams cheap. Clark/Keke, Lowry, Adams, Lancaster. Mid/High priority
CB - Alexander, Sullivan

Punter - should probably draft one


Summary
CB - top priority

OLB, DL, ILB, OL - mid/high priorities

Safety, TE, WR, RB - moderate priority

QB - Low priority


2021 ain't looking as good as 2020 because we’re bound to lose a whole bunch of veteran pieces. However, most of the good teams will lose as many or more players. The bad teams should get much better as they have tons of money to spend. 2021 will be a really weird year in the NFL.

There you go again with the losing Aaron Jones stuff hahahaha - but I agree, Corner is probably the top priority.

[GB-Brandon]

Yeah. Go back to drafting corners again in the first round. “Continue the Insanity”

The data does not support you on this one.

[run pMc]

Jaire Alexander has worked out 'insanely' good so far for them.

I think they go big with DL and OT early, WR and CB in the mid-to-late rounds. Maybe cut Kirksey and draft another Day 3 ILB, and a RB too.
No way I pay Jamaal Williams 4M a year. I'd be ok with $4M for 2 years.

Of course, they never do exactly what I think they'll do. LOL

[Joemailman]

Williams is making just a little over 2M right now. Only about 20 RB's in the NFL make 4M or more. He won't get that. Probably 2-2.5 million.

[smuggler]

Corner is absolutely the #1 need, but the first pick will probably be DL.

[bobblehead]

1st-Best RB available. Likely to be Ettienne
2nd-Best Player available. Ditto the rest of the way.

They drafted Kevin King and Alexander with top picks.

Just because Demarious Randall and Rollins and Dix(Safety) and Josh Jones(Safety) aren’t on the team doesn’t mean they haven’t drafted the secondary high.

The main point being until they solidify the front seven then continuing to build the defense from back to front is FUCKEN INSANITY!!!

YES!!!! They have been doing this for years!!! If you want to build a defense then

No. 1 FIX YOUR BROKEN SCHEME.

No. 2 Get some nasty Grown men upfront that can disrupt!!!

Otherwise just continue to talk INSANITY about some corner. LOL!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Unless your plan is to find and draft a Jalen Ramsey there is no corner that is going to make this defense any better under the current structure. It’s just laughable!!!!

[GB-Brandon]

1st-Best RB available. Likely to be Ettienne
2nd-Best Player available. Ditto the rest of the way.

They just drafted Dillon? So give up on him already? Geez.

[GB-Brandon]

They don’t have a single receiver under contract past 2021. Not only is it an overall team weaknesses, they also contractually aren’t set up. It is much more then a “Moderate Concern.” Only an idiot would think otherwise based on the facts!!

[RashanGary]

Receiver is one one the more stable positions on the team. Adams (if you plan for re-signing,) Lizard and MVS are an upper tier threesome. Defense is a bigger concern.

I will disavow my Packer fandom if Gutekunst drafts 2 fat guys with his first 2 picks.

My preliminary 2021 My Mastery Mockery of a Draft:

Rd/Pos
1. WR
2. WR
3. ILB
4. CB
5. WR
6.WR
7. QB

When healthy, having Adams, Lazard, Funchess and MVS 1-4 is better than a lot of teams. Funchess opting out this year is an underrated bad break for this team. He is under contract for next year.
