Official 2024 NFL Draft Thread

I think the Bears and Cards could move on from Fields and Murray without blinking.
Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are highly coveted prospects. They will both go Top 3.

Right. No one is passing up a rare top qb prospect for Fields or Murray.

Packers have picks 7, 39 and 49.

I'm still pissed a little that Rodgers got hurt, and definitely pissed that the Jest and their shitty QB beat the Iggles. That's how a defense wins games.

I also don't know why nobody's nicknamed Chicago's QB "Strawberry" Fields. Cuz then they'd keep him forever!

[Bretsky]

Im honestly hoping we stink it up at this point. I want top 2, 3 at the lowest. There are some QBs this year.

KUDOS for saying it

Embrace the Tank for the greater good

Lotta football left in the season. Sucks to be talking draft this early.
I don't want them to tank. If they lose they lose, but I want them to at least show signs of improvement. Haven't seen much of that -- the opposite, actually -- lately.

Right now, it seems like every play there's 10 people doing what they should and one screwing up and wrecking the play. If that happens less at end of season they'll look like a better team.
Injuries are messing with them pretty good, as are cap constraints. All the same, there won't be excuses for these players much longer. With the snaps they are getting, many of the young players should stop be acting like rookies in December.

Excellent post from you, run pMc.

Tanking anytime is the idiotic crap that losers do. And it’s way too early to discuss draft needs.

[Freak Out]

Tank talk is stupid. You want these men to continue to fight and improve.

Curious who the top QBs are in the next draft are though.

Caleb Williams of USC and Drake Maye of North Carolina are the top 2. They've both top 5 picks. There are another 4 or 5 that could go later in the 1st round.

I'm not suggesting we lose on purpose. I want them to improve and even hopefully win some. I just want to trade guys like Preston who won't be around for the future. That will lead to "tanking". But should they finish the season on an upswing, thats a huge bonus.

That is called smart GM work there....why not trade someone like Smith who can help a playoff team but add to the Packers future?

[run pMc]

Trading some of your pricey, established and aging starters is the only way you can 'tank' and not completely lose your locker room. I still doubt they do much though. Preston would cost a bunch to trade and I don't think you get a lot back. Maybe a late Day 3 pick? I'd rather keep him for the 30 snaps a gae he could play setting the edge. LVN isn't ready yet, Gary is almost off the pitch count but wants a Brinks truck extension, and Enagbare can't stop the run. I think he has more value to GB than say JAX.

The other thing is few GMs and even fewer coaches survive a tank season and make it to the other side. Tanking often comes down from the owner, and GB is a little different that way. I don't think after the success they've had in the last 30 years tanking is something they'd even consider.

If you go into tank mode barely halfway into your season, that's a bad look for fans and players.

It would be kind of funny if Guter traded back into the 24th spot and then picked . . . a QB.

Getting rid of coaches and GMs without giving them a chance to rebuild comes down from owners as well. Gutes and MiLF can survive it....and will.

[texaspackerbacker]

They will survive because it ain’t the Packer way to panic and fire coaches or GMs too much quick. Hopefully, though, the patience has run out for Barry.

As for the generally stupid concept of rebuilding, that absolutely was not necessary after the McCarthy years, fine tuning at most.

Weren't you the same guy who said GB would be absolutely screwed if they ever let AROD go.........and......it's never happen ?

What's happening is pretty much what you said would, before they sent him to the J.E.T.S. Jets Jets Jets
