Official 2024 NFL Draft Thread

Tackle, running back and safety, in that order, are the Pack's biggest areas of need.

A month ago I would have said that a Tackle at 6-10 would be the perfect pick. As of now, I think a safety might go first, then OT and then RB. All depends on how their board falls.

Translation: The Bears Still Suck.

With the Packers now holding the 20th pick in the draft, a lot of people are looking at Cooper DeJean of Iowa. He's played CB last 2 years at Iowa, but was recruited as a safety and has the build to play there. (6-1, 209). Packers love their Hawkeyes.

Two problems for me: first, is this an echo of Josh Jackson? Secondly, isn't his name an echo of Shemale Jean Claude Charles? DeSean, Shemar?

That's my expert insightful analysis. No on this guy.

Also, isn't safety much more of a need that running back? You can pick up serviceable
RB's from the fourth round on; the Packers are lucky to get a serviceable safety with a first-three-rounds pick.

If they take him, he better be more Micah Hyde and less Josh Jackson. As a first round pick, I think I'd want him to be even better than Hyde, though.

[Joemailman]

Josh Jackson was thought to possibly be a 1st round pick until he ran a 4.56 40 at the Combine. DeJean is bigger and faster than Jackson. DeJean has also been an outstanding player 2 years in a row. Jackson was kind of a 1 year sensation.

Patriots win pretty much assures that Bears will have 1st pick in the draft.

I like that they say Dejean is smart, instinctive, heady, etc. Plus the size and length. If he can tackle like a safety and cover a little closer to a corner, he’s an ideal slot corner and that’s what we need.

[run pMc]

I could see him being the pick. Could possibly play the slot if they don't sign Nixon.

[Joemailman]

nflmockdraftdatabase has Amarius Mims - OT - Georgia as most likely Packer pick. Thet have DeJean as most likely Arizona pick at #18.

Hmmm….how can da Bears fuck this one up? Decide Fields is actually the guy, and trade back, only to see Fields become the next Bitch Trubisky while Williams and the Duke QB become stars? Trade Fields, who develops elsewhere, while the QB they pick either sucks (the Duke guy) or becomes such a prima Donna he alienates the whole team and town (Williams)?

So many ways this can go bad for da Bears.

Bears and Packers gonna be busy.

I'd like to see the Packers draft 3 OL next year. They need to solidify the guard and center spot. I doubt they resign Myers. Maybe a scat back and they're good to go. They're sufficient at QB, WR, TE.

I'd like to see them move on from all-pro at ILB. All-pro is anything but.

Myers isn't a free agent. Runyan is. Nijman too.

[call_me_ishmael]

Myers isn't a free agent. Runyan is. Nijman too.

He's in the final year of his deal next year though. I doubt they will extend him unless something dramatically changes. I had forgotten about Bak so I will revise and say I hope they take 4 offensive linemen and two stick.

[Fritz]

Boy, the Panthers are fucked. Shittiest team in the NFL and some of the least draft capital.

Vikes not in great shape that way, either, in our division. And oh, the poor Jest!
