Packers projected 2021 draft priorities

[GB-Brandon]

Rodgers makes trash receivers look decent. Give him something better and the offense will be unstoppable. They haven’t drafted one in 3 years. After making an attempt to trade for one at the dead line I’m pretty sure they will draft one in the first couple rounds. But then again it’s Brian Gutekunst so the bar is very very very low.

The defense has talent. Needs some more help on the front seven with a change in attitude and a new D coordinator and a scheme fix. To just continue to draft premium picks and athletes and plug into a flawed system would be continued failure. But that seems to be Protocol!!!

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

Careful - it might happen. I could easily see them taking a DL in R1 and an OT in R2, with Wagner and Lowry cap casualties.

I know they like big receivers because they can give you more on run blocking, and also a bigger catch radius. I'd like to see them take a look at some smaller, shiftier types -- a human joystick type who can do what Tyler Ervin does (run routes, return kicks) but do it better. They also need more dynamic playmaker types on offense. I know they don't hold up as well, but there's still a place for a WR like that who could give you up to 5-7 seasons of starter WR level play.

It's generally been a good offense this year, but Adams is aging and Jones could be gone next year. If they decide to move on from Rodgers (which would be a mistake based on how he's played this year) then Jordan Love/the next QB will need more weapons to succeed.

Funchess was a decent get, but I see him as he's basically Lazard but will worse catch rate. You can win with him but as I don't see him as a difference maker (unless you're comparing him to Malik Taylor).

I didn't like the Funchess signing from the beginning. If he ever sees the field for the Packers, he should be behind Adams, Lazard, MVS, Taylor, and probably St. Brown.

As for the draft, the Packers, for better or worse, always seem to draft ahead of potential players leaving the roster. That doesn't narrow it down much this year, though. I think/hope they take a Corner in the first. I doubt they take an O Lineman early, but a D Lineman or pass rushing OLB is very possible - my best guess for the 2nd round. I also wouldn't be surprised to see them take a RB in the 3rd or 4th.

They badly need some badass DL to wreak havoc. Then WR, OL, and ILB.

This is what I see being the best remedy.

[GB-Brandon]

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

Ettiene probably isn’t making it to the Packers. I would bet on that.

[GB-Brandon]

I’ve already got a bunch of great prospects I’ve been following.

[GB-Brandon]

They have to fire Pettine though!!!

[RashanGary]

Ilb and corner are tops on my needs list. Keep montravious too. He's developed into a decent player and would be cheap.

[RashanGary]

Jeremiah Owusu would be nice. I also really like Raven Greene as a nickel backer.

Sullivan/Alexander
Amos/Savage
Barnes/Owusu

That's a lot of speed. And then instead of going true nickel, it's easy to go Owusu/Greene at LB and you have a really fast nickel with some size still.

[RashanGary]

Nick Bolton might be better. A true linebacker.

Bolton/Barnes as a base group
Bolton/Greene as the hybrid group


We need a savage-ass beast mode kinda guy in there.

They need a complete revamp of the middle of the defense from front to back and have for ten years. What your saying has been posted a hundred thousand times now across the internet.

The Packers front office is at “Failed State” status. They wouldn’t draft the right guy if he was right in front of their fat faces!!

[GB-Brandon]

The Packer offense needs serious upgrades too. They rely on favorable match ups against certain defenses. They can’t impose shit if they get in a game against a defense that is physical that can play fast. In that type of game they immediately become inconsistent and one dimensional.

The only chance this team had was to get the bye and get lucky and play the likes of the Eagles and the Seahawks and maybe the Saints and luck their way in. If they run into any defense that is fast/physical then the smoke & mirrors stops immediately and gets exposed.

It’s a true front runner fraud show all the way around!!

Remove Rodgers from the equation and it’s not even a playoff team.

God, you're such a retard. How would you know what the answer is

Well that’s where it’s at and how embarrassing this whole thing is that basically a “retard” could figure this thing out and supply the remedy to the situation.

The Bar Is VERY VERY LOW here. Can you jump 6 inches? Can you add 2+2? Can you walk and chew gum at the same time?
