    strong chance we don't keep that pick
    8 times in 7 years....that is a lot....like 114% of the time.

      Also teams at 25 are "so close" and probably trade up just as often ...just my theory without looking.

        it was used in a trade up, then the new team traded back again from it

        it was actually last year

        giants had #25. traded to the jags to move up one spot, then jags traded it to the bills for pick #27 and a 4th

                • clique
                  noun
                  ˈklik also ˈklēk
                  Synonyms of clique
                  : a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons
                  especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes
                  But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                    Nope. When the entire world disagrees with one individual, the entire world is not a clique.

                      it wasn't my find, i just repeated what i head on a podcast

                      it does sound stupid when you first hear it, but then after you know the details you go "oh well yeah that makes perfect sense"

                      • Packers #25 picks:

                        2004: Ahmad Carroll
                        1999: Antuan Edwards
                        1967: Don Horn
                        1936: Bernie Scherer

                        Better trade the pick.

                        • Texas DL T'Vondre Sweat arrested for DWI. Likely 2nd or 3rd round pick.

                          Sweat, 22, was booked Sunday afternoon into Travis County Jail, according to online records, after being arrested by Austin police. He faces a Class B misdemeanor, which in Texas carries a fine up to $2,000 and 180 days in jail.

                            Seems every year there's at least one of these draft prospects that does something stupid right before the draft. I think it was the DLineman, Carter, last year? He still went in the 1st round, but dropped.

                            Think he's completely off some teams' draft boards now because of this? His combine showing wasn't too good too if I remember.

                              good looking player, but i don't think you take him in the first with those flags
                              I didn't start paying attention to him until he blew the doors off of the Combine, but I think he's on a lot of people's radar now. He's a freakish athlete who just rocked the Combine, but that injury history.... 2 ACLs, on I think the same knee, shoulder surgery... plus, I've noticed he often has a hard time beating blockers (even tight ends), which - when you consider that a lot of the blockers he has touble beating are 2, even 3 years younger than he is - makes him slip a bit for me. He also plays high, which seems to make it easier for blockers to knock him off balance, and has some weaknesses in his tackling technique - tends to give up a lot of yards after contact.

                              But he's a smart player, with a great attitude, and technique is coachable. I think 2nd round is a little early, but I wouldn't mind him in the 3rd and would be quite happy to get him in the 4th. I just suspect someone will take him in the first 60 or so, because he's a pretty shiny object. He's got a terrific upside, if he stays healthy.

                                I watched a Mock draft on NFL Network a couple weeks ago and the show peeps had the Packers taking him in the 1st round at pick 25. I was like, no way are the Packers taking him there.

                                If he's there in the 4th round, it's a no brainer, but I agree with you, he's most likely gone somewhere in the late 2nd or 3rd round.
