Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

Two Big Time Value Late Round Targets for me! The first being a guy I really enjoyed watching this season. He was a UW transfer that had some relationship issues with coaches. Very talented player that has a nose for the ball and plays “Violent”. I want “Violence” on defense!!! It’s all about “Roster Building” and getting rid of dead weight and getting players that can help in certain matchups and play remarkable Special Teams!! Bye Bye Oren Burks and Hello Milo Eifler!! 6’2 @ 225 and can run and play in space and can Run & Hit! That’s what we need an abundance of!!!!!

Player No.2 is a guy that I really believe would be drafted earlier if not due to injury. This guy made me a lot of $. Great value for for a late round Stab that can be developed on a rookie deal coming off ACL injury. Has that “Game Breaking Ability.” All the production. Checks all the “Ted Thompson Receiver Boxes.” He can “Split the Doubles” and run All the routes! Very smart route runner that can time down and up and accelerate past db’s. Was a massive workhorse in that SMU offense. I believe he will be a massive steal for the team that drafts him!! Would love to see him in Green & Gold!

You wanna play “Championship Defense” then quite drafting Nice Guy Pussies!!!!

Defense is Hard! it’s DIRTY!!! It’S FUCKEN GRIMY!!!

I know this Personally!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Once again Gute has A PATH AND TOOLS to make this thing happen. Players & Picks will be there to help us fortify this roster to make a serious run to WIN IT ALL NOW!! Will he make that move or orchestrate another offseason that plans for 3-5 years DOWN THE ROAD?

We have an elite zone corner in Alexander. Another zone corner would be ideal so at least you can do one thing really well back there.

Your not “LISTENING”!!! Yeah, we have some pieces but if you really want to have this Big Bad Ass Defense your gonna have to get an abundance of guys that can Play That Way. Your never gonna have enough $ to sign them all unless maybe you have a QB on a rookie deal and even then it’s tough. You kinda have to do what the Seahawks did in the early 2000 teen’s and find guys in mid to late rounds that you hit Grand Slams on. The Packers typically don’t draft these type of guys. It is what it is.

Adrian Amos plays with this “Violent Attitude” I am describing. The Tampa Bay Bucc’s certainly play with that “Violent Attitude”. I am tired of trying take to players that don’t have that attitude and trying to install it in them. This isn’t necessarily happening on a “Micro Level” but more of a “Macro Level”.

This is the main reason it makes it hard for me to ever get completely bought in to the Packers defensive philosophy!

[GB-Brandon]

Give me the “violent Play Attitude”(which is a natural attribute btw) with the athletic talent and now we got something to work with. This can be coached up to be potentially something special!!

#Greatness!!

This is what we need to be looking for. This is the pathway!!

Rashod Bateman slipping would be nice.

Watch my first tape this year, and it was this guy. I’m on his bandwagon—like I was with Brandon Aiyuk last year.

Bateman is alright. Not sure Aiyuk is the right comp. Just think Aiyuk has more twitch to him and explosiveness. Bateman is Super Smooth though on his route tree in the intermediate passing game. I think that’s where he transitions best at the next level.

Bateman reminds me of younger and slightly faster version of Keenan Allen. I think he is a very safe WR prospect but you have to understand what your getting. He isn’t gonna line up and just blow by people at the next level. He will probably run in 4.55 area.

[GB-Brandon]

I mine as well go over TuTu Atwell too cause I’m seeing that name. Fun player to watch in college but this guy is just tiny. No way should the Packers use a 1st or 2nd round pick on him. These guys rarely hold up “165 pounds” and have to be used in such a scheme specific way that they almost need their own playbook. I just don’t see the value in getting a weapon this small and using such a high draft pick. You can covet and draft “Smaller Weapons” and add dynamic versatility but you better go the right way about it or you will get burnt badly.


Kadarius Toney- Yes

D’wayne Eskridge - yes

Rondale Moore - No

TuTu Atwell- Hell No

I didn’t say Bateman and Aiyuk were comparable. Just that I can tell he might be this year’s WR crush. We’ll see. I think he’s faster than 4.55. I think he’ll surprise with his 40 time—like Jefferson last year.

I think they will go "BPA" with preference to CB, DL, or OT.
I also think they will look at WR but not until the mid-rounds.
Finally, I think they will ignore the ILB spot again, unless it's to draft another late Day 3 player.

The cap and FA will drive some of their draft choices.


I expect to be completely befuddled and annoyed by the picks and moves Gute makes, only to reach the acceptance stage by mid-August, and by mid-season feel like the moves are (on balance) working out for the better.
Basically, not unlike the TT years.

221: R6 P35 S Divine Deablo - Virginia Tech

I've been curious about this player but haven't really found much scouting or youtube on him yet. (Also, I've been busy.)
Seems like he would be a Day 3 guy you could play at that hybrid ILB/S spot with his size, although IDK with Pettine gone how much they will use that.

I could easily develop a draft crush on Bateman or Marshall out of LSU.

Kadarius Toney has crazy balance but I don't think he's a burner. Would be awesome on jet sweeps, screens, and punt returns -- basically, a better Tyler Ervin. That's the thing -- he feels more like a gadget player than a true wideout to me, and while I think MLF would love having a guy like him I am skeptical Gute values him as a late R1/early R2 pick (which is where he's expected to go as of this post).
