Official day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft thread

Harvey and Friday hitting skulls is strange to me. I didn't think Friday was that down in Van Ness, at least off the cuff.

I guess we will see, won’t we? I liked the draft last year. This year, it feels like the Yankees are at bat and taking nothing but home run swings. If they mostly hit, hurrah…but Gute’s record says that isn’t likely.

Gute is a clean up power hitter. He does pretty well with his home run swings. When he chokes up and tries to hit for average he fails every time. Except Enagbare. That might be his one contact swing that worked out. Might be.

Maybe the Pack is going to convert the Penn St QB to Safety. Yep, that's it - that's what they're gonna do. I now love the pick.

[smuggler]

Wicks is a slot type all the way. He had better learn to battle because he does not have the speed to outrun a soul.

Damn, Cindy got Chase Brown. I wad hoping the Packrrs would get him.

[RashanGary]

5th round picks starting to feel less exciting. Yikes. We got through the 4th round with guys who all looked like they have a good shot and now the party is over. Looks like garbage from here on out.

Maybe I’m mistaking him for somebody else, but I don’t think so. I don’t know how anybody could be too down in LVN. He was such an obvious pick for us. We got two of the top 5 TEs in a strong TE draft—when TE is our biggest need. Both good value. I thought Reed was taken a bit early, but the Packers should get the benefit of the doubt on round 2 WRs for now. I would have rather had Benton instead of Reed and just about any S instead of Clifford, but shit like this happens every draft.

When you have 8 picks in the last 3 rounds, you’d like to think you’ll get one though.

Still some interesting guys at safety (Taylor), IOL, RB. Landers and Ford-Wheaton at WR.

Kind of agree with you, but in fairness to Friday he wasn't against LVN, he doesn't have faith in the DC, which is absolutely reasonable.

[King Friday]

Yeah, I love Van Ness as an athlete. I just wish Gute would give MLF more impact talent on offense once in awhile. I was high on JSN for our scheme. I think he would’ve been huge with Watson. I like Reed, but we are still very unproven at WR, and the new TEs will take at least a year to get up to speed.

Since 2012

Hyde
Bakh
Lindsley
Aaron Jones
MVS
Runyan
Enagbare

I like Rasheed Walkers chances. Ford and Slaton might be rotational guys.


But we don’t even get one guy in the last 3 rounds per year. It’s not good.

[MadScientist]

Wicks sounds like special teams fodder.

[RashanGary]

Oh, and Bakh was a 4tg rounder. We literally hit about one guy every other year in rounds 5-7. Horrible odds.

[run pMc]

I hate hate hate the Sean Clifford pick. I know he had a visit with GB but thought it was as a UDFA recruiting thing, not a R5 pick.
Oh, BTW he's actually OLDER than JLove, so maybe he's the veteran backup QB.

I guess if it saves them money spent on a useless horrible backup QB in the FA it's maybe worth it, but I thought there were better options available.
