Official 2024 NFL Draft Thread

[texaspackerbacker]

Typical responses from the clique, Sharpe, etc.- it MUST be that way because the clique says it is, and zero countering of the obvious counter points to ya'll's crap. You don't because you can't. Ya'all oughta try observing and thinking for yourself sometime.

As for the topic of the thread, the draft, I sincerely HOPE it isn't O Line in the first round or probably second either. Edge Rusher or Corner, even though we are pretty well stocked those places, would be my choice. The needs, if any, would be RB and ILB, and those generally are not worthy of first round picks.

Clique. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

i'm liking a few of the other safeties the more i hear and read about them

draft is weak for free safeties, but there seems to be a bunch of guys that are decent at "in the box/nickel" type guys. which is what we need

bullard from georgia
bishop from utah
hicks from washington state
tykee smith from georgia
james williams from miami (built like a LB)

we can get a starter after the first round, probably even in the third or later

My money is on Gute taking Hicks and I think he takes him earlier than what all the "Draft Experts" say he's going to go - possibly with one of the 2nd rounders. The more I read about Hicks, the more I like.

Cole Bishop is another Safety I think the Packers are gonna look hard at and could take early.

Another safety I've been eyeing in the later rounds (4-5) is Malik Mustapha, Wake Forest.

hahahaha ok, what do you think it means? I use the term to mean crowd following/peer pressure/somebody swallowing some shit and various others (I'll refrain from calling them dumbasses so as not to insult you hahahaha) respewing the same shit. It happens in here a lot - cliquish behavior.

When te entire world disagrees with you, they're not a clique.

Yeah it's been well established Tex doesn't know OL.
FWIW, I saw a PFF chart that showed Jordan Love was pressured 212 times last year. Dak was pressured 229 times, Brock Purdy 245, Jalen Hurts 270, Mahomes 303 (!)

I honestly don't care if they draft Graham Barton at 25 if he becomes the next Zach Martin. I'm expecting it their R1 pick to be non-splashy tbh. They aren't drafting a WR without trading someone (Watson? Doubs?) to make room.

I just saw a mock with a new name thrown out there and it screams Gutes to be honest. Payton Wilson LB. 9.88 RAS and the number that jumped out to me was 17.5 tackles for a loss. He has size too at 6'3" and 233. Can probably pack 10 pounds of muscle if he is a self starter. No one really thinks LB as our first rounder in this particular draft, but we have a need, dude can ball, and Gutes rarely follows the "mocks". This is a total outlier and I could totally see him pulling that trigger while we all throw shit at the TV.

There are far more examples of a single voice being wrong and the crowd being right.

Naturally. I thought that was embedded in my post.

Payton Wilson

The problem is he is an older prospect with a major injuries history. Outstanding player - but those are pretty heavy red flags.

i just heard on one of the packers podcasts that the 25th pick has been traded 8 times in the last 7 years and 15 times in the last 19 years

strong chance we don't keep that pick

yeah those are

good looking player, but i don't think you take him in the first with those flags

Yep. The team holding the 25th pick probably doesn't have a 1st round grade on anyone left. The teams that move up are trying to fill a specific need.

@AndyHermanNFL

The 25th pick in the draft hasn't been made by it's original holder since 2016 - that's 7 consecutive drafts where it was involved in some type of trade. It's also been utilized in a trade in 14 of the past 20 years.

[red]

anyone else completely confused by 3 of the top o-line prospects being

Fautanu
fashanu
and Fuaga

thats a lot of f's and vowels

[Joemailman]

Fuck 'em. I don't fathom Packers will have a shot at any of them. Fashanu is my fave, but there is a fair chance Fautanu will fall to 25.

[Joemailman]

Wouldn't take him at 25. But with 2 2nd and 2 3rd round picks, I'd be tempted to take him at 41. Walker and Wilson could cover a lot of ground. Wilson could even line up as box safety in some situations.
