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

[wist43]

Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame is solid. I’m repeating CMI’s logic here but ND produces solid lineman and this guy played solid ball. He’s a really good bet to be a rock solid tackle for a long time.

Eichenberg is going to struggle for a couple of years until he puts on some weight and gets stronger... in the long run I think he'll be fine, but there will be growing pains.

Jenkins on the other hand is a plug and play.

Jenkins is fine. I'm just not quite that sold on him as some others seem to be. I don't see a top 20-25 draft pick. He has a lot of experience, and he's a great run blocker in a power scheme. However, I think he'll be a RT. He struggles with speed. I don't think he's as athletic as he tested. Looks a bit uncoordinated on the move and misses a lot of blocks downfield I think he'd be better in a power scheme. He seems like a perfect fit for the Ravens, and I hope they take him.

The Oklahoma tape was not good. He had a stretch where he was knocked on his ass by Perkins. Then, he completely whiffed on a block. Then, got away with a hold. Then, was completely out of control blocking downfield. The defender looked like a matador. Then, he was out of the game. Not sure if he had an injury before the game, but I hope that was the case.

I watched one game. I saw him get leany and lungey and off balance in pass pro. I think we’d take him even though he's not a scheme fit, just because he's solid, but I actually thought Mayfield was a more consistent pass protector. Mayfield has some body work to do, but is a natural. Maybe move up in the second for Mayfield if we don't get our guy in the first. This year has some really good second round tackles

I read Jenkins has a nasty streak, which I welcome to our squad.

I'm not sure I'd trade up for him though.

Four guys I keep seeing going in the 20-25 range so I'd give up a 4th for would be Batemen, Newsome, Horn, and Collins. I'm not sure why you don't like him. He was a stud in coverage and statistically he was a great pass rusher. He plays faster than his 40 time, covers well, and took a couple INT's to the house. JS online had some great analysis on him when they featured his all around game.

I'd also really welcome a trade back. And then grab a buy like Eichenberg or the Texas OT after trading back.

I know it's a pipe dream, but I have always loved the idea of a trade back, and then packaging picks to move up with the last pick in the 2nd round. Or packaging the 3rd and 4ths to try to jump into round 2.

[RashanGary]

I like that too bretsky, trade back for a 2nd and third, then trade the two 3s to get in the back end of the second. Then we get 3 2nd round picks. Even an early 3 would be similar to a 2nd. If you got an early 2 and an early 3, that's close enough to another 2nd too.

I'm also in the camp of trading down to like 35, picking up an extra 4th or 5th, and use it in a package to get back into the 3rd round. Most of the guys available at 29 are basically early R2 prospects anyway, and it would get them one more pick in the top 100. 4 picks in the top 100 would give them ammo to address OT, WR, CB and DL (or LB). Gute probably won't, since he's more of a trade-up guy. I don't think they have capital to do much of that, since most of their picks are on Day 3.

I'm not a Mayfield fan, but I haven't watched a lot of him. Only 15 starts and short arms (32 5/8) scares me a little bit; he played well vs. Chase Young but tested poorly, so I don't know what to make of him. I wonder if he'll end up being a really good G.
I like Jenkins but agree he's got holes in his game. With a little coaching he could step in at RT and they can keep Turner at LT while Bahk rehabs the knee. I think Jenkins will likely be gone though. My gut tells me they take a CB/S in R1 and get a OT in R2. I am often very wrong in my draft guesses for GB draft picks.

Four guys I keep seeing going in the 20-25 range so I'd give up a 4th for would be Batemen, Newsome, Horn, and Collins.

Isn't Horn the CB from SC? He's going top 15. He's a really good corner. If you're thinking of Farley, I agree he could slide into the 20's because he's had 2 back surgery and an ACL...but other than that, he might be the most talented CB. (Newsome's had injuries too which is why he could slide).

Exhibit A : It's a copycat league.
Exhibit B : The Packers had to have seen the impact the Tampa Bay inside linebackers had in their games against them.
Exhibit C : The Packers 2 biggest concerns should be keeping Rodgers upright & healthy - and improving a mediocre defense.

Therefore : Either an effective Offensive Lineman - or the nearest thing to a defensive game-changer - should be the draft focus.
There are several OL prospects that would address the first problem, BUT:
The defensive player in the draft who just might have the greatest impact on improving the defense (and the team in general) just might be :
Jerimiah Owusu Koramoah , LB, Notre Dame.

Having him in the middle would help address the countless middle routes that plague the Packers time after time.

I wonder if the Packers might consider a move up to land him.

Jalen Mayfield is the Dean Lowry of offensive linemen.

If they were standing two feet apart they wouldn't be able to reach far enough to shake hands. That's how short their arms are.
