I've been saying, a lot of disappointments (I'll stop short of saying busts) among high draft pick WRs. About half that list fits that description. I prefer that at least one of our new top two WRs be somebody already playing at a high level.

How do folks feel about Boye Mafe? His comp is Rashan Gary.

I haven't watch much of him yet. I've heard good and bad about him, but he was absolutely dominant at the Senior Bowl. Mafe is likely in play for the Packers at #28.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View Post
I'm almost through all of the offensive players, so I'll be moving onto DL/EDGE next. I have seen some of these guys while watching OL prospects. I saw Karlaftis against Ohio State while watching Nicholas Petit-Frere, and he wasn't good (and he wasn't double teamed nearly as much as people claimed). Then, I watched him against Iowa while watching Tyler Linderbaum, and he was much better. Iowa ended up doubling him a lot in the second half."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

A lot of people see Mafe as a guy with a ton of athleticism who will need some development. I'm okay with that. Packers don't need him to come in and be an every down player right away. They need someone who provide some pass rush when Gary or Preston are on the sidelines. Like a lot of players in this draft he'll be 23 at the start of the season. 24 before it's over. Picking him at 28 seems like a reach to me, and 53 is probably too late. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com...2022/boye-mafeI can't run no more

I only watched about three Michigan games this year; Braxton Hill did not particularly stand out to me. One player who did, that I've read nothing about, is Josh Ross. He was always making plays, it seemed. Does anybody have any idea if he's got any NFL potential? I don't keep up these days so much.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View Post"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Bases on a couple sites a looked at, probably would be drafted in rounds 6-7. Could be seen as an upgrade to a guy like Ty Summers.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
LB JOSH ROSS
PROS: What Ross does best wasn't going to show up at the combine. Ross is a leader, on and off the field. His work ethic, and expectations of others, are what sets him apart. He's a great MIKE because his football IQ makes him a great QB of the defense. Hopefully he won over a front office or two during interviews.
CONS: Ross did not test well in the three events he participated. His 40 time was one of the slowest among linebackers, while his vertical and broad jumps were literally the lowest. He also came in at only 6'0" after being listed at 6'2" on the Michigan roster.I can't run no more

Ross made a ton of plays in college, but he's small and slow. Not a recipe for success in the NFL. He's 6'0" 227 and ran 4.79 in the 40. His other measurables were even worse. His RAS score of 1.62 was the worst among all LBs at the combine--which probably takes him off the Packers draft board.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
Hill tested incredibly well. I've read that he would be a good fit for the star role in Barry's defense. A comparison I've heard is what Damarious Randall should have become. I haven't watched much film on the DBs yet though."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Wisconsin safety Scott Nelson, who ran 4.38 at Wisconsin Pro Day and vertical 39.5 inches is working out today for Green Bay Packers and is regarded as a rising draft prospect, according to league source.I can't run no more

I thought he'd be a 7th rounder or undrafted FATERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

So he was a good player but you figured he would slip because of athletic limitations??Originally posted by Bretsky View PostFormerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

The Packers were notorious under Ted Thompson of sticking to their board and not drafting for need. Packer fans everywhere would cuss and throw cheeseheads at their TVs when Thompson would take some no name DT instead of the player we all wanted and needed.
Gute has a real chance to piss fans off in a similar way in three weeks. I am not even sold that we are taking a WR with the first 4 picks.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

If either of the Georgia DL are available we better not draft WR.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
