Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[Upnorth]

We need CB, OT, and DT much more than we need a WR. Our weapons on offense were good enough to score the most points in the NFL and have Rodgers throw 48 TDs against 5 interceptions. Our struggles against Tampa Bay had little to do with a lack of offensive weapons. More blame falls on our OTs getting exposed against good DEs (after the injury to Bakh), a missed throw to MVS, and the abandoning of the run in the 4th quarter by MLF.

This is very true harvey. I put ilb as a higher need that ot though.

I don't know many; there were plenty of times Rodgers was sitting back there looking around and I'm assuming nobody was open. If we had Bach things would have been way better from the protect as well.

I don't bother looking at the top prospects. They will all be gone before we draft as per usual. I would like us to get asante Samuel Jr at CB.

I would like that as well.

And just for the record, lets STOP having everybody request the TRADE DOWN

EVERYBODY (myself included) wants that every year....but it rarely happens

I'm surprised you still want it. Remember T.J. Watt and Kevin King?

[Bretsky]

Can you list the top WR's as well so I can set myself up to be disappointed again for about the 4th year in a row ???

There's a lot of them this year:

I’m gonna be somewhat surprised if we don’t take one in the first three rounds. Back to back years of deep WR drafts should push a few back.


Adams contract is coming up. Lazard and Tonyan should be resigned to long term deals ASAP. MVS is in the last year of his deal. We need to replenish that pool and should have plenty of options available to make the future look bright. I want to keep Adams and have him break all the recent receiver records in Green Bay. But a new weapon will be good for 12 and #10 there after

[RashanGary]

Rashod Bateman slipping would be nice.

[texaspackerbacker]

Amon-Ra St. Brown is ranked that high? After watching a couple of USC games, I think we already have the better St. Brown.

I say yet AGAIN, we do NOT need a new WR.

Good reading about the top Corners and D Linemen, though.

[Zool]

I don't know many; there were plenty of times Rodgers was sitting back there looking around and I'm assuming nobody was open. If we had Bach things would have been way better from the protect as well.

Strange how they were open all season, but not in the 4th against Tampa when McCarthy ball came back.

Maybe the most talked about guy at the Senior Bowl as from UW-Whitewater! Who knew?

https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-senior...eek-of-practic

Quinn Meinerz, interior O-lineman, Wisconsin-Whitewater. Meinerz was the most impressive player during practices, from start to finish. He was a relative unknown coming into the week, hailing from a Division III school. Well, not only did he prove he belonged, he showed everyone that he's one of the best players here. Meinerz was dominant, displaying plenty of power and strength. No one should have any questions about his toughness either, as he reportedly played through a broken bone in his right hand on Thursday. He's going to be a quality starting interior offensive lineman in the NFL.

Quinn Meinerz, OL Wisconsin-Whitewater
One of the beautiful aspects of the Senior Bowl is that it provides opportunities for players to face opposition they would never normally face. Even more beautiful is when those players grab the opportunity with both hands and shake the life out of it. Case in point: Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz.

Despite a rough start to the week, Meinerz was, without a doubt, one of the 2021 Senior Bowl winners. A player who came into the week with a late-round grade — or worse — from most outlets, Meinerz has soared up draft boards and is a consensus top 100 selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Meinerz was strong, controlled, and demonstrated he can play with excellent leverage. He also showed versatility in lining up at guard and center during the week. His toughness was illustrated by playing through practice with a broken hand. Despite the injury, he passionately pleaded to be allowed to play on Saturday. The kid is impossible not to root for.

Strange how they were open all season, but not in the 4th against Tampa when McCarthy ball came back.

Could it be Rodgers ball as McCarthy is no longer here but it’s the same profile?
