Way too early 2022 mock draft

[RashanGary]

I'm pretty convinced they'll take several guys before they reach on a WR. I think they probably have EDGE George Karlaftis, DT Travis Jones, S/CB Daxton Hill, an OL (I personally like Zion Johnson), and maybe even a guy like Boye Mafe ahead of some of the WRs that fans have been discussing.

I dont know the exact players, but I will not be the least bit surprised if its not a WR in round 2

I say this every year and we never execute it. But pick 28; that seems like a perfect scenario to trade back 7 spots for sombody wanting a QB on a 5 year contract. And we get about the same quality WR at 35 as we do at 28 IMO. This of course, assumes we don't swipe one with the first pick.

Seems like a great year to end up with 1st, 4nd round picks, and no thirds

This year's decent depthbsays to me we break the 3rd round curse

[RashanGary]

I like Treylon Burks if we sit tight in the first round, or Chris Olave.

I like moving back and taking Jahan Dotson in the early second. Hes just so smooth and natural, I think hes a safe bet to be a really good player.

Sitting tight in the second, I like Jalen Tolbert. Hes kind of a complete type of WR who can be had later because he played at a smaller school.

What if they draft Leo Chenal in the 3rd?

Agree on the top part; I kinda like the Cincy WR for round two but I haven't watched Tolbert much

And would Tre McBride with our other R2 pick be asking too much ? )))

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

Can Leo Break the Curse ?

Leo is a great leader; goes 150% and is a tenacious pass rusher. I seem to recall another Badger like that I thought we were going to draft....oops Kevin King

I don't think the Packers will reach, but I do think this front office looks very closely at dynamic athlete numbers regardless of position. Drafting a wide receiver in any round and expecting them to contribute like a veteran is shooting for the moon. The Packers will draft an offensive lineman in any round as long as they have the ability and skills they are looking for. Zion Johnson, Green, Linderbaum are all guys that could be taken by the Packers with their first round picks.

Still want the Packers to land Jalen Pitre, but I don't think his value and our needs intersect.

If that's the case, how is it the Packers haven't drafted an IOL since Aaron Taylor in 1994? It would seem to me that history suggests that the Packers have to believe an offensive lineman has to be able to start at LT in order to be drafted in the 1st round.

Bryan Bulaga. I think most projected him to be a RT before he got to the NFL. The Packers are in a unique position--because of Elgton's versatility. I think both Zion and Kenyon Green could offer OT flexibility. Green is a guy who I didn't study until after the combine. He tested as an average athlete and wasn't overly impressive in the drills. I wasn't expecting to like him because I probably overvalue athleticism at OL, but damn if I didn't really like his tape. He played LT against Alabama and more than held his own. I watched four games: He played LT against Bama. He played LG against LSU. He played RG against Ole Miss. Then, against Arkansas he started at RG before moving to LT after an injury.

I am not saying they will, I am saying that these guys check the box in terms quality football players that also meet the athletic requirements the Packers front office looks for. Most teams try to avoid drafting interior linemen in the first round, I think they would rather trade the pick than take a quality player at an unfavorable position in the first round. After round 1 all bets are off.

To me, on the surface this draft is crap for left tackles, wide receivers, and defensive tackles. Edge defenders aren't great either.

They say its deep at edge but I dont see any 10 sack monsters out there. Its a bunch of potential.
