Official day 2 of the draft thread

I guess I'll just have to try to think positive about this new Rodgers. Maybe he can become something like Cole Beasley.

Reading about Meyer and Creed Humphrey reminded me of when we drafted Tretter in the 4th and Linsley in the 6th. I preferred Linsley right from the start - bigger and stronger but maybe not as athletic as Tretter. Meyer appears to be the same compared to Humphrey.

TB drafted Kyle Trask. Brady is demanding to be traded.

I like the Rodgers pick. Can do the jet motions and is a good slot receiver. Good value. Showed some great route running at the Senior Bowl.

Smart, savvy, polished types have done well with 12. This guy fits what the Packers have done for 15 years. Even Jordan Love would benefit from a quality slot guy if it comes to it.

Correct. With Adams, MVS, and Lazard, we don't need another 6 foot 3 burner who will basically run 9 routes. To open up the field for the guys we have, we need a capable slot receiver. Someone quick in space. This guy absolutely nailed it at the Senior Bowl and comes from a grade A college program. Great pick.

I agree completely. He is a perfect compliment to the WR's currently on the roster.

Hmm....end of the second round. IF the Packers had done that last year, would the fact that it was the end of the second been enough to mollify Rodgers? Do these guys sit around thinking about the parameters of what constitutes an insult? "Well, if they draft a QB in the third round or after, I guess it's okay because it means they're just taking a flyer. But if it's a second rounder I'll pretend I'm supportive but I'll get pissy when I see the GM. And if they trade up to draft a late first-rounder, I'm going to start thinking about how to get back at those bastards."

Maybe not in advance, mainly because I don't thing Rodgers saw them taking a QB anywhere near how high they did. But I think your model here is a really good framework for how he would have reacted.

In case you were wondering why JOK slid so far.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had a heart issue that came up late in the process and was a concern for most teams, which is why he fell out of the first round and to pick No. 52 with Cleveland, per sources. Doctors ultimately cleared Owusu-Koramoah but it did contribute to him falling.
