If we went in the draft and took OT, Edge and DL with our first three picks, even though we don’t “need” them, I wouldn’t mind a bit. Rotating talented DL and edge players is never something that holds you back from anything.

Rasheed and Tom are really good. I won’t complain about an OT, but it won’t help us much for a couple years, until we have to pay both Tom and Rasheed.Originally posted by Bretsky View Post

The trajectory of Rasheed Walker is top 5 LT. I don’t think there’s much of a chance we could do any better. Already at 23 years old, neither in his physical or technical prime, he’s a top 10-15 LT. He’s only getting better. He’s at the same point Bakh was at this age. He’s a great player in the making. I have no idea why people want to replace him. I said the same thing aboht Bakh when everyone was trying to get Spriggs in the lineup over him.
The Packers are so god damned good at drafting OL. Pluck 2 in the 3rd and 4th rounds and use the premium pick on a position you’re not as good at filling.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

We can use a good player at pretty much any position except QB, long snapper, and punter.
For example, of a good WR drops to them, I say you still draft him. If this offense can make Bo Melton look like a starter, think about what another more talented WR will do.Comment

S, RB, CB, OT. I don't think they will go RB in round one, but Jones' health was a problem this year and he is getting old. Getting a good one in round 2-3 would be a good investment.2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

There are no 1st round RB's this year. The other 3 positions are legitimate possibilities in 1st round. OT and CB better groups than S.Originally posted by MadScientist View PostI can't run no more

OT and CB would seem to be best bets at 25, based on the strength of the draft.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI can't run no more

Guess this means that Cooper DeJean is out of the equation barring a trade up in the 1st. He'd be huge for this defense due to his versatility and playmaking ability.60% of the time it works every time.Comment

They will take a couple of OL - Runyan and Njiman are gone, and Newman probably shouldn't be back. Someone to push Myers, challenge Rhyan, and learn from Walker/Tom. What happens with Bahktiari is a mystery, but that cap number is ouch.
I think they absolutely have to get better at S, and probably LB too. The DL is young and should get better, the rest of that defensive spine needs improvement. Campbell looks done to me, and all they have under contract at S is Johnson Jr.
Dillon is a FA, Wilson is meh, and Taylor was an emergency get. I think they do everything to keep Aaron Jones and add youth behind him. They need RBs who are dynamic with the ball, Dillon's a great guy and a big dude who can wear on you, but his vision and feet aren't what you need in this offense. They can get younger, cheaper and better there via the draft. My guess is they draft 2 RBs (early and late Day 3).
CB is a sneaky need because Jaire is hurt often lately, and Stokes might never pan out after injuries and rust. Corey Ballentine is a nice depth/ST piece, but you don't want him playing man coverage against a starting WR. Nixon's coverage in the slot is uneven as well. I though OT was the most likely R1 pick for a long time, given their draft position I could see them take a CB there instead - to the confusion of many. The whole "you can never have too many corners" thing is cliche but applies, those guys get banged up a lot and you need more than 1 or 2.Comment

I'd love to have a shot at drafting DeJean. I guarantee that kid won't drop easy interceptions right in his hands. He's a ballhawk with a lot of experience playing offense and fielding punts. Would definitely add a lot of versatility to what we could do in the defensive backfield.Originally posted by Spaulding View PostComment

Most mocks have DeJean going 15-20. Missed end of season with injury. Don't know if he's expected to work out at the combine.I can't run no more
