Skoronki would be an IOL, Kancey wouldn't meet Packer thresholds. Kancey is lightning quick and a fun player, but will get absolutely destroyed in the run game at the pro level.
This is far from an exhaustive list since Skoronki (among others) is missing. He'd be in their thresholds at IOL I'd think but I struggle to see them taking a G at 13. He's a consensus top 15 player though.

If Jaxon Smith Njigba is there at 13, screw trading down and grab him. If not, trading with Pitt and picking up a top TE sounds like a good strategy.

I might be alone on this but I would hate that pick and might destroy my tv if it happens. Jaxon Smith Njigba is waaaaaaaaaay overated in this draft give me a reciever in the 2nd or 3rd and I bet they are better longterm, ymmv

JSN is good and I like him, but I think he's more in the 16-32 range. He'll play mostly in the slot which isn't as bad as many make it out to be. That said, you could find most of his production in Day 2.
There are a lot of players where taking them at 13 feels way too rich, and a number of players will get overdrafted. There's depth but not a lot of top-end talent.

i'm with you

he was lost for all but the first 3 games last season because of a hamstring, so he does sound like packer people

i don't buy at all that we "traded up to get in front of the pats to get him". we traded up to get in front of the pats because the team we were trying to trade rodgers too just happened to have the pick in front of the pats.

the trade up wasn't some calculated draft move, unless trading rodgers was somwhow part of some master scheme to draft this WR all along

Thanks for the clarification. Was thinking that Skronski might be able to hold up at tackle even with the short arms. Then again sounds like he might be Robert Gallery the second there and would need to move to guard to play at a reasonable high level.

Just hope it's not Kincaid at #13 as I think that's too high for a TE.

Packer thresholds big board.

well thats why we traded up from 15 to 13. theres only 13 guys worth being in the top 15

only 23 guys worth drafting in the first round. woof

glad we didn't make the playoffs

13 is that area where teams are going to try and trade up to get Bijan Robinson.

Would this site blow up if Robinson was the pick?

I’m very good with Jaxon. This team needs offensive weapons, and to me he’s the best one in this draft. I don’t get the people who dump on him for what happened this year. He was a beast for the Buckeyes, and somehow made a huge name for himself out of the shadow of Olave and Wilson. Grab him and whatever is left at TE in the early 2nd and Love has some talent to grow with.

Yeah, I think 13 is wayyy too rich for a non-generational TE. If they trade down to 25 and take Mayer (there are rumors) I wouldn't be excited but I wouldn't hate it either. Depends on who else they take. I mean, Jalin Hyatt and Mayer wouldn't be my choices but could still be fun. Apparently, Tony Pauline is saying the Packers want JSN at 13. This scares me something awful. I like JSN but I think that's a reach. Also, GB never takes WR in R1, and basically everything you hear pre-draft is subterfuge.
Please Gute, be smart with 13.

I heard PHI at 10 for Bijon. Makes some sense actually, they lost Miles Sanders and he'd be a beast behind that OL and with Hurts as a threat as well.

Have a hard time seeing GB taking him at 13, but I could see someone wanting to trade up to take him if he's there. More likely the OT run is midway through at 13 and teams will be looking to move up to grab one, or one of the top CBs. It's a good spot to move down from if you have several equally rated players available, or if the next one you really like is likely to still be there at 20. Where Levis and Richardson go (and possibly Hooker) could impact who is available.

[King Friday]

If JSN has played this year, it is likely he would’ve been a top 5 pick. That is the kind of talent he is, so be glad he was injured and now may be available at 13. I doubt he lasts that long though.

[King Friday]

I also like Kuntz. Raw as hell, but someone who I think could develop into a hell of a TE if you have some patience.

[King Friday]

Luke Musgrave = 6'6' 253, 4.61 40, 1.58 10, 36" vertical, 10'5" broad, 4.41 shuttle, 7.09 3 cone, 19 bench
Travis Kelce = 6'5" 255, 4.61 40, 1.61 10, 35" vertical, 10'4" broad, 4.42 shuttle, 7.09 3 cone

Crazy how similar they are physically.

Kuntz = 6’7” 255, 4.55 40, 1.57 10, 40” vert, 10’8” broad, 4.12 shuttle, 6.87 cone

Why settle?
