    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      What makes you think this? This isn't one of their almost absolutes--like a CB has to be 5'11" with 30 inch arms. The Packers have drafted shorter DL (Raji, Worthy, Daniels), and there's nothing about a 4-3 that would dissuade them from drafting somebody shorter. Some of the better DTs in the NFL that play in a 4-3 are 6'2" or shorter. Aaron Donald is 6'1". Javon Hargrave is 6'2", Ed Oliver is 6'2". Shelby Harris is 6'2", Daron Payne is 6'2", and Alim McNeil is 6'2".

        I just think it'd be surprising based on the historic and unusual sizes of the Niners linemen. They seem to grab 6'7" guys from Oregon. Kinda reminds me of the Jaguars two gigantic inside DL from many moons ago.

          Yeah, high picks are great and have a lower chance of being a bust. I would rather have 11 shots at finding someone than 7 shots.
          I'm a fan of trading down if you have several similar graded players and you'll most likey still get a shot at drafting at least one. Otherwise, take a player at the current tier rather than two players at a lower tier.
          Especially with how young this team is. We don't need to refresh the roster with youth.

            I told a friend I'd like to see Guter draft like it's Noah's Ark - two of everything. Two safeties, two corners, two inside linebackers, two offensive linemen, two running backs.

              Will we also have to take a male and female of each?

                When Gute has tried to address a position, he's done this in the past. I kind of like it - it improves your odds of hitting on at least one of them at that spot. If you're going to do that, it helps if you have more than 10 picks like they do this year.
                I do want them to continue to pick BPA, but if they can trade down a few spots, pick up another lower (or 2025) pick and get the player they wanted that's a win.

                Don't overlook the time before the draft; Bahktiari will be due a roster bonus, and they'll have some contracts to redo. Free agency will be in full swing and that will shape the board.

                I think they cut DeVondre, redo Jones' contract, extend Kenny, sign a cheap vet at S, and then draft 2-3 DBs, 2-3 OL, 1-2 LB, and 2 RB.

                Do they draft a TE or a WR? Unless the TE is better than Sims or the WR is better than Melton or Heath, I doubt it. I think they'll bring in a UDFA though.
                Curious to know who they bring in to play the FB role. Deguara was meh at it and Pearson looked lost. Maybe Pearson figures it out but I'd expect them to bring someone in.

                  Not unless you want them to reproduce. And if you do, it'll be about 22 years before the offspring are ready to play for the Packers.

                  So, no.

                  But a couple of unicorns would be nice.

                    Speaking of which, if I was a college team recruiter, I'd have Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles male offspring on the radar from birth.
                    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                      Damn, that's a good point. Is it too early to make some sort of provisional selection?

                        Two of their current six DTs are 6'1".

                          In this draft the average height of DT's appears to be about 6-3. 6-2 is much more common than 6-6. I doubt teams are real strict about the height of the DT's they draft. It would just be too limiting.

                            Every year I see this said about 50 different players, yet in the history of the draft there has never been 50 players go in the top 25.

                            Joking aside, my opinion is also that he won't be there at 25, but its my opinion. Wyatt and Kenny Clark being available late in the first stunned me, as did TJ Watt. Guys slip, it happens all the time. I respect your opinion, just don't go full skinbasket and state your opinion as fact.
