BUCKY BROOKS......TOP 5 PER POSITION IN NFL DRAFT

[RashanGary]

It looks kind a deep draft. OT, InteriorOL, ILB, WR, CB..... most of our need spots are spots of depth. Maybe we could have good picks all the way to the 4th rounds with interior OL being a sweet spot in round 4.

Round 1- All Pro WR
Round 2- Solid started at CB or ILB
Round 3- Solid starter at CB or ILB
Round 4- OL
Round 4- OL



This would be a great start

Watched some tape of Collins. Tulsa played a 3-3-5. Collins usually lined up as OLB, off the line, sometimes left side, sometimes right. Occasionally lined up as edge defender or MLB. He has cover skills. I like him a lot.

Yep. If he slips I expect to be disappointed when we don't take him.

Its a draft where I could see dropping some capital to move from 3rd back into 2nd. Grab OL, DL, WR. Guys like Marshall could slip. There are probably 8 OL and 7 WR that deserve a late 1st round grade, but we know for certain that they won't all go in the 1st. I haven't done as much homework on DT, but I have read that 6-8 could easily go in the 2nd round.

Sadly I think its a weak CB draft so we won't likely get much help there. As always, BPA at every pick except QB and probably RB. By round 3 I wouldn't mind RB though.

MOCK DRAFT
I'd TAKE THIS

[Jaire]

Yep. If he slips I expect to be disappointed when we don't take him.

It's really deep at ilb. Mcgrone might be straight up better than Collins and is likely available round 3. Best bet is OT with the first pick: Jenkins, Cosmi, Eichenberg.

You think more of Mcgrone than I do.

we'll have some nice options at OT if we choose to go there

[RashanGary]

I like Jabril Cox. He came from no where and had to earn his way to a transfer to LSU in his senior year. A highlight machine for interceptions and pass breakups (at least 10 interceptions in college.) He’s versatile enough to almost cover like a nickel backer (see raven Greene) but also big enough to be a true linebacker in base.

Maybe 2nd round.


First round take an OT

Third round, a receiver (deep receiver class and lots of third round receivers become 1,000 yard guys, so a sweet spot)

4th round interior OL (the sweet spot for draft hits over the years)

We’d be lookin good going into 2021. I like how most of our biggest needs are deep positions in the draft this year.

I hope the team needs fall in our lap. Of course I’ll take a future pro bowl tight end over a crappy OT, so it’s not all about need, but damn it, we need some luck to win a SB. Let’s get a lucky draft here.

[RashanGary]

OT drops off after round 1. Maybe one slips to us.
ILB drops off after round 2. Maybe one slips to us.
WR is deep and always produces gems in round 3. Maybe one slips to us
Interior OL is deep and we always draft well in R4. Scoop on there


The spots that this draft is strong, lines up with our needs. I’m kind of crossing my fingers for that magic draft class that puts us over the top. The shortened season and opt outs and lack of combine make doing your homework even more paramount. Gutey has a stable personnel department with everyone returning for a couple years. His system should be sharp and ready to lock in on this draft. Everyone knows their role and they should be able to churn out detail vs getting guys up to speed at their jobs.

We’re one lucky all star draft (plus some development) away from a title. Come on Gute, hit a home run this year!

You know me Rashan; I'm always living the Pipe Dream that Gutebag might surround Rodgers with talent at receiver instead of relying on him to make everybody better with thread the needle throws. Like last year, I don't see a ton of guys who really will help after about pick 50.
How many round 3 guys killed it last year ? Lots of R1 and R2 guys but those guys will probably be gone by pick 60

[wist43]

He's not going to take an ILB early, if at all... they like Barnes and Martin - and I do too - I would just prefer either one of them next to a game changer.

Besides, the Packers just don't care much about the position.

Stefon Diggs 5th round
Tyreek Hill 5th round
Keenan Allen 3rd round
Tyler Lockett 3rd round
Robby Anderson undrafted

There are many others but I was just going off of last years receptions leaders list and didn’t want to keep going. But there are many. And many more 2nd rounders than 1st near the top as well. Rounds 2-3 is the money spot for receivers.

[RashanGary]

Cooper kupp 3rd round
Dionte Johnson 3rd round
Terry McClauren 3rd round

The list of 3rd or later WRs is long. And back to back deep drafts, one is bound to fall

Game is changing; WR's are becoming move valuable and IMO are getting drafted higher.

I was trying to think of any WR who remotely killed it last year after round 2. I am probably missing somebody. Or year before. Some of those guys have been around a while; if you go back several years you can find gems at every position.

Terry McClauren 2019



Bretsky, if you go through the top 64 players (generally #1 or #2 WRs) half of them are taken 3rd round or later. It’s that common.
