LOL at Bubba Franks at #18. What a throwback! That was a large man. Is someone like that even draftable in today's NFL? He's like Big Dog sorta, but probably less mobile.

EDGE or possibly OT (depending on Bakh). I think we are good with LG Jenkins, C Myers, RG Runyan, RT Nijman for next year. Bakh or high 1st at LT. We could go with Nijman, Jenkins, Myers, Runyan, Tom, but Nijman is a FA after next year.

I thought Njiman was an RFA this year and is a UDFA this offseason (same as Lazard)?

He's made some money as a swing tackle at a minimum, and I'm pretty sure some team will offer him starter money and try him at LT.

I think he's gone unless they dump Bahktiari and sign him as the LT instead. Either way they have to find someone to play T.

Elgton Jenkins is UFA. Over The Cap has Nijman as RFA. Spotrac has him as UFA.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm pretty sure Nijman is an RFA next year.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Nijman has been with the team since 2019, but he was on the practice squad for most of the 2019 season, so he didn't accrue an NFL season.

You're probably right. Would be nice if they can keep him. Would also be nice if Rhyan and Tom pan out.

Packers with 9th pick in the draft. B.J. Raji territory.

[run pMc]

I think there are at least 2-3 games (CHI, DET, LAR) that are winnable, which would push them out of the top 10. I'd be surprised if they pick earlier than 8th unless they make roster decisions (i.e., play young/depth players only, etc.)

Every year is different. But last year the 4 teams that finished 7-10 drafted 8-11.

Packers drop to 11th in draft order.

We'll mess this up and end up out of playoffs and picking about 16- 18
