2021 Draft Sleepers

[Joemailman]

I think it'd be fun if Gutes drafted an All-Packer-Name team.

Newsome in the first round.

Shaun Jolly later on.

If there's a defensive lineman named "Favre" out there, draft him, too.

Kyle (Elijah) Pitts
Jayvee (Don) Horn
Zaven (Nick) Collins
Najee (Al) Harris
Wyatt (Willie) Davis
Tevin (Elgton) Jenkins

Anyone who remembers Torrance Marshall is a friend of mine.

Joe, were you around when supposedly Torrance Marshall's girlfriend was on the Rats site?

That was maybe the strangest Packerrats thread of all time. And that's saying something.

Edit: That was actually at JSO. Marshall played for Packers 2001-2004. Packerrats started in 2006.

Oh, that's right. I'll be damned.

And that was some weird, weird shizz.

A few years later, I think Mad got one of the Packers' players, a tight end named David Martin, to look at the site. I did not know he was reading 'Rats, and I made some typical smart-ass comment about him, or a girlfriend, or something, and Mad had to smack me down.

Absolutely ZERO shot. He might go first round before we pick. Almost a lock for 2nd round though. If he were there when we pick in round 2 he will be BPA and we should grab him.

Agree with you bobble. Would be very surprised if he's there on Day 3.
I also agree with call_me_ishmael in the rounds I'd look at taking him though. I would be extremely nervous about spending a R1 or R2 pick on a 5'7" player. He's basically a better version of Trindon Holliday, or maybe a Tarik Cohen. They can be useful players in limited/gadget roles, but if you think they are going to stay healthy you're dreaming.

Would you rather take Rondale or the Toney kid from Florida?

He's listed at 5'9" but I agree that is generous. I also agree I don't want him. I don't value tiny twitchy guys that much.

I'd rather have Cordelle Patterson as our solution for a kick returner and 5th or 6th WR and 3rd RB, but I like Rondale Moore and other small fast guys like him. As I've said more times than I care to think about, we do NOT need a WR, but the only kind we maybe could use is somebody like Moore - primarily a kick returner. I never had a high opinion of Tyler Ervin - he only looked good because others stunk so much as returners. I had high hopes for Tavon Austin, but he bombed out. Somebody like that, though, can be a game-changer if he really is a breakaway threat.

Patterson wouldn't be a bad 1 year addition, and I agree he could play a role as at KR and jet sweep guy. Depends on the contract.
Honestly, I could see them waiting until after the draft to make a decision; they might feel ok drafting someone to do fill this role.

I think they have bigger holes on the roster than WR, but I do think they need to make some changes at WR. Malik Taylor and ESB being at the end of the bench aren't giving you much and I'm not sure how much more upside there is with them. Maybe they will surprise, but at this point I'm pessimistic. With every WR on the roster being a FA after the year -- I do think they'll extend Adams -- they will want to draft and develop some new talent.

Rodgers is a great QB but it helps to have good players to throw to, or to beat coverage and make plays when things break down. I think they can take a Day 3 flyer (or two) on someone to learn the offense and return kicks in the meantime.

As for RB3 they might spend a late pick but I doubt even Gute is crazy enough to spend a high round pick on a RB in consecutive years unless it's someone who drops like a stone and the value is too great.

I do agree that if Patterson is still out there post-draft he would be worth bringing in.

He measured at 5'7" at his pro day though. Crazy short!
