2022 NFL Draft Talk

[run pMc]

I've seen Lucas mocked to GB a few times in the mid-rounds; and I'd be fine with that. I'm not sure who their starting RT is going to be... Njiman? Jenkins won't be ready to play, and they'll baby him after the Bahktiari ACL drama.

I like Quay Walker, I don't like him R1 though. He could take over for Devondre Campbell in 2 years. Devin Lloyd is supposedly a good IQ guy and good athlete, the 4.66 is a little surprising. I think he's ok but nothing special. I'd rather not take an ILB before R3, but if I had to choose I'd take Walker in R2 over Lloyd in R1.

To me ILBs are the RBs of the defense; if there's an obvious playmaker you take them early else you don't spend a lot of capital for them... and they usually don't last very long because of how physical a position it is.
They are important enough where you need to have competency at the position, and often GB hasn't done that.

There are plenty of 5'10" and 5'11" WRs who get 1,000 yards in the NFL. But I'm curious what all time greats usually look like.

Jerry Rice 6'2" 200
Larry Fitzgerald 6'3" 218
Terrell Owens 6'3" 224
Randy Moss 6'4" 210
Isaac Bruce 6'0" 188
Tim Brown 6'0" 195
Steve Smith 5'9" 195
Marvin Harrison 6'0" 185
Reggie Wayne 6'0" 203
Andre Johnson 6'3" 229
James Lofton 6'3" 192
Cris Carter 6'3" 202
Anquon Boldin 6'1" 220
Henry Ellard 5'11" 180
Tory Holt 6'0" 200
Julio Jones 6'3" 220
Andre Reed 6'2" 190
Steve Largent 5'11" 187
Irving Fryar 6'0" 200
Art Monk 6'3" 210
Brandon Marshall 6'5" 232
Antonio Brown 5'10" 185
Jimmy Smith 6'1" 213
Charlie Joiner 5'11" 188
Hines Ward 6'0" 205
Derrick Mason 5'10" 197

1 - 5'9"
2 - 5'10"
3 - 5'11"
7 - 6'0"
2 - 6'1"
2 - 6'2"
7 - 6'3"
1 - 6'4"
1 - 6'5"

It looks like your prototype WR is between 6'0" and 6'3". It's somewhat rare to see 5'10" and 5'11" and really rare to see 6'4" or taller.

Alec Pierce of Cincinnati is now my favorite guy in the draft. Like me and my brothers, he grew up in the Chicago area but was always a Packer fan. On Friday night, make it happen Gute!

[RashanGary]

John Metchie is a guy who can be had a little later because of his ACL. Maybe we take him with our 3rd round pick and give him a redshirt year.

I would be on board.

[RashanGary]

I want to see us get John Metchie in the 2nd or 3rd.

Good blocker
Good route runner
Fast
Good release
Explosive first step to get off line and create separation
Just enough size
A lot of production in college

Just has an ACL. But he can kind of do everything.

Not one under 180 pounds--like Dotson

[Bretsky]

OK you guys have convinced me; let's draft 3-4 ))

6'4" WRs are rare. 5'10" or 5'11" WRs aren't. There are 10 receivers projected to get drafted under 6'0" this. There are 3 that are 6'4" or taller. There were 3 receivers who were 6'4" or taller drafted last year. There were 12 WRs under 6'0".

There were no 6'4" or taller WRs drafted on day 1 or day 2 last year.
2020 was a good year for tall WRs. Three guys (Michael Pittman, Tee Higgins, and Chase Claypool) were all drafted on day 2.

More and more, Burks looks like the pick at 22 to me.

I thought Dotson was 184. 178 seems light. He might be too small, but it is really splitting hairs.

People who are 6-4 or taller are more rare in general.

But seeing the heights of the 2021 leading receivers and of the all time leading, it brings some perspective. You are just as likely to find a shorter one as you are a tall one. More likely.
