2021: Justin Fields
2020: Mekhi Becton
2019: Jonah Williams
2018: Minkah Fitzpatrick

EDGE, TE, Safety.
Probably another WR and someone to return punts/kicks.

Possibly look for help for Kenny; I'm not sure they're getting from Lowry and Reed.
Their current rookies need to make a jump. Right now, the five Day1/Day2 picks they had have turned into confused rookie Quay, MIA Wyatt, hurt Watson, and inactive Rhyan. That's not good enough. Your Day 1 and 2 picks need to get snaps. (I think Quay will get better, but he and Campbell don't look good right now.)

agree with that list.

I would put an offensive lineman earlier. I had hoped we were taking an edge at 22 this year (Karlaftis or Johnson): it was a good year to get edge cheap. I still think Wyatt will be fine: it takes time for most of those guys and he has everything it takes to succeed (physically, drive, love of football). He was my alternate pick at 22.

I do NOT WANT another safety before round three: pretty sick of the db mania. They don't even know what to do with a shut down corner like Jaire.

[Jaire]

Oh my!!!!

This thread is hilarious. I can taste the cynicism.

So long as we have AR, I have hope. And that's it. Unless Gute really turns a(nother) corner, it's a bleak future. That said, I think we did get a very good haul this year and took advantage of the deepest draft of 20 years. Quite a few guys will be solid to above solid starters from what I've seen: but, takes time. 12 is key to any success for the short term.

Maybe we can finally draft a top tier WR

Packers currently have 14th pick. Last time they had 14th pick was 2000 when they took Bubba Franks.

Thats awesome since I was going to say a TE who could stress the middle of the field and also run block adequately.

4 quality pros right there

[RashanGary]

The Packers aren’t going to pick 11th. Lazard will come back. Doubs keeps getting better. Watson will come back. The OL will get healthy and start to gel. The Packers had an unsuspectingly hard schedule against top teams no one thought would be top teams to start the season.

We win a bunch of games down the stretch. Book it.

I'm putting on green and gold glasses for this next one too.

Just win one, baby. I will pretend J.B. is not DC and the first 8 games were an aberration.

Truth is this: if the line stays healthy, it can be very good. WRs have the talent, not the experience (the future is very bright). Cobb and Lazard staying healthy are pretty critical: those are your third down guys, and they both are very reliable in that role, as well as "catches everything" Tonyan..............so it comes down to luck (health wise) to put together a run. It's the NFC, and nobody looks dominant though a couple teams could become so in the second half.

The line is the real key imo. Bakh was very good, and no reason to believe, Jenkins doesn't return to old form at his most comfortable position.

[RashanGary]

Yep. It’s about to roll.

[RashanGary]

I haven’t bet all year but imma bet on this one.

[Jaire]

That's the spirit.

i'm done drafting D in the first and then watching our D continue to suck every year

if the Gunt tries to pull the same shit he did in the last draft, then fire him before he can make the pick

STOP WASTING PICK!!!!!!

[MadScientist]

wr's for like the 10th year in a row

This.
It was pretty fucking obvious the WR situation wasn't great. Just Adams and scrubs. Now it's just scrubs and hoping some rookies might not suck in the future. Slow moving train wreck that anybody not named Gute could see coming.

They also need some tackles with functional knees.

Can they draft a defensive coordinator?

no, but we could maybe trade a pic for a decent DC

i know its happened for head coaches

but them we would just trade a pic for some bum that matty once saw walking in a hallway somewhere

[call_me_ishmael]

They're gonna sneak into the playoffs, not a doubt in my mind.
