Your Officially Endorsed Draft Picks The Pack Has A Realistic Shot At

[The Shadow]

Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame
Asante Samuel, CB, Florida State
Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas
Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma State
Drew Dalman, C, Stanford
Zaven Collins, LB, Tulsa

[texaspackerbacker]

Samuel, yes, Collins, maybe, all the others, no way based on position. A couple of higher rated Corners might be in play too, and a couple of slightly lower rated Corners like Calvin Joseph and Tyson Campbell would be good choices too.

Zaven Collins - LB - Tulsa
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - LB - Notre Dame
Nick Bolton - LB - Missouri
Rashod Bateman - WR - Minnesota
Teven Jenkins - OT - Oklahoma St.
Trevon Moehrig - S - TCU
Christian Barmore - DT - Alabama
Greg Newsome - CB - Northwestern

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - LB - Notre Dame
Christian Barmore - DT - Alabama
Greg Newsome - CB - Northwestern
Dillon Radunz - OT - North Dakota State
Eric Stokes - CB - Georgia
Samuel Cosmi - OT - Texas
Micah Parsons - LB - Notre Dame (I have seen him fall on occasion or trade up)

So far I like

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (probably gone well before us)

Jalen Mayfield (rock solid but came in as a 245 pound freshman and gained weight too fast for his body to keep up. He has work to do to really be all he can be with his build. But his tape is really good and there is reason to believe, as a late bloomer, that he’ll keep getting stronger and better)

Pete Werner - I like his physicality and speed. He’s probably more second round though.

Who is Calvin Joseph? Google brings up an obituary for a 75 year old guy and not a CFB player. You mean Kary Vincent? OHHH Nevermind - found him - Kelvin Joseph. Seems like a Day 2 pick at best - Kyle Pitts got him benched. I don't want to spend a top 50 pick on a guy who struggles to cover talented COLLEGE TE's...he'll get eaten alive without a LOT of time, patience, and coaching.

This probably means I jinxed everything and Gute picks him.
(in the "player you don't want" threads, I picked Gary and Love in back to back years, so I feel like I should keep quiet.)

If you like Mayfield because of his development, you should take a look at Spencer Brown from Northern Iowa. Dude was a TE in 8 man football in high school. In terms of measurables, he is the cream of the crop in this year's class. 4.88 40 (2nd), 4.44 shuttle (2nd), 7.03 in 3 cone (1st), 31" vertical (3rd), 117" broad jump (1st) packaged in a dude that is 6'8" with 34" arms. (Rankings are for the top 13 OTs that I have looked at.) I like these two kids out of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, Radunz and Brown. They are two of the top four most athletic OTs (amongst the top prospects). Radunz is a little more polished and had a better Senior Bowl. Brown is more raw, but he could be something special in a couple of years.

For the record, my preferred pick would be Teven Jenkins. I think he could be a plug and play RT. Cosmi sounds like a good fit in zone scheme as well. They might be gone by 29; I think both will get a lot of interest from about #18 on.

Barmore would be interesting to pair with Kenny Clark, but I feel like they'll draft a DL later. For example, I've seen Alim McNeil's name mentioned with the Packers and wouldn't be against that in R3 if he was there. He'd be an upgrade over the NW boys.

Newsome would be ok, I think Surtain, Horn, and Farley will be long gone. Newsome has some injury concerns, but someone might overdraft him after his Pro Day. CB is another one they could take Day 2 or Day 3 (Eric Stokes? Ambry Thomas?).
At 29 if there's a really good S there that's a possibility, I don't know much about Berry or what the defense will look like but he likes 5 DBs. I'd prefer a CB to a S -- unless the S can cover well in the slot. They'll still need a corner who can play outside and replace King/Sullivan though.

Bateman is all over the board, but it feels like he might be there at 29. He gives me a Greg Jennings vibe, and while there's enough depth at WR in the draft that they can wait until later, they still need future reinforcements and he'd be a good pick.

Whatever. BPA All The Way

Really like Teven Jenkins... agree with everyone else. Likely day 1 starter. Don't think he'll make it to 29. Would be okay trading up for him.

Same thing for JOK.

Like Assante Samuel Jr... 29 might be about right for him.

Don't like Mayfield or Werner at 29.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3LVBghjrZA Yes, he'd be a stretch for the first round, but I wouldn't mind getting Samuel or Newsome in the first and Joseph in the second.

Or you could try the reverse jinx. Put the player in the Who You Don't Want thread that you really DO want.

I just can't get behind drafting a player from Oklahoma State in the first. I don't see a fit there. Give me the guy from the school with a track record of good linemen. I don't care if he's picked a round early if he is a really good 8 year starter.

There are a few this year. Alex Leatherwood of Alabama, Jalen Mayfield of Michigan, Liam Eichenberg of Notre Dame, Samuel Cosmi of Texas.

Ha I didn't mention the school I now realized, but I want Eichenberg from ND. ND always seems to put solid tackles in the league. Comparing the dude from NDSU and Tevin Jenkins or whatever-his-name-is, I just feel more comfortable with the ND track record and the level of competition vs the other two. It just seems like maybe lower ceiling but also much higher floor. That said, I haven't seen any of 'em so this is purely uninformed speculation.

I would be extremely happy if the Packers were able to address CB and OL in the first two rounds.

I think ol is in better shape than we think baring other unfortunate injuries. I know I was saying the sky is falling a few weeks ago but I think dt is a bigger need than ol. CB dt 1st and 2nd. Then wr in 3rd then ol x 2 in 4th. Then random crap that might stick to a wall after that.
