Who Should Gute Draft At #25? 1.0

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jackson was a 1 year wonder. And slower than DeJean.

From what I read from the draft experts, DeJean ain’t hip-hop enough to play corner, meaning he ain’t got the hip game to be a mano-a-mano lockdown corner that Haf-Fucked prefers. Dejean appears to be a Cover-2 zone corner.

Sure, the dude could be a hip hop safety. But what’s with moving white corners to safety? It’s akin to moving Black QBs to WR.

First round positions the Packers should avoid like the plague, at least this year: OL, DT, RB, QB, K, P, LS.

I agree. Add WR and TE to that also.

I'd rather get a Safety in free agency, as it seems to me that relying on a rookie Safety, even a good one, is a risky thing.

I am going with Amarius Mims. I would take Murphy or Newton but I don't believe they will be available when the Packers pick.

[Joemailman]

My bad. Mims should have been in the poll. That was an oversight.

[Deputy Nutz]

I voted for Barton, but he didn't run at the combine. Nubin is also high on the list. I would go with both of these guys simply because that is the biggest need on the roster.

This is an OT and WR draft so presumably he'll feast on one of those or go for something that is neglected because people are feasting. I have to imagine it's a CB, OT, or DL imo.

It's also a QB and CB draft. If teams feast on OT, WR, QB and CB, a DT or Edge could slip through. Daniel Jeremiah's top 40 has this positional breakdown:

WR: 7
OT: 7
QB: 6
CB: 6
ER: 5
DL: 3
IOL: 3
LB: 2
TE: 1

I would love it if they came away with a CB and edge from those top 50.

Any combination of corner, safety, defensive line, edge, offensive line. Hell, if they draft a wide receiver that early, all I could say would be "Geez, they must really, really like this guy." And if that's what they do, then, well, okay.

My hope is that maybe JJ McCarthy is still sitting there when the Packers pick, and a team offers them a ransom for the chance to draft him.

There are few mock drafts that have McCarthy getting past the Vikings at #11. Even if he did, there are other teams that would likely take him before he got to the Packers. So far in the poll there are votes for CB, S, DL, EDGE, IOL, and OT.

It would be almost funny if Guter drafted a QB at #25.

“Hey man, we just go BPA in this organization.”

Or maybe Michael Penix or Bo Nix is sitting there, and some team gets jumpy and trades up with the Pack to get their guy.

Wait - and it’s THE JETS who do it! They used their high first rounder on an offensive tackle to make Rodgers happy, then trade their third and fourth rounders plus next year’s first rounder for that #25 pick. Aaron Rodgers comes out with cryptic comments immediately following the draft.

At 25 I could see about 10 guys similar being available. Trading to the early 2nd might make sense if someone gives us value. So many good tackles in this draft. Some guys like Jordan Morgan probably goes like 20 most years, but might end up 30-40 in this draft (or later). He's got some Zach Tom to him. Good technician, can play tackle or guard. Personally I hope they go with OL. Mims is a beast, but needs some refinement. All the top 5 posted good RAS scores and did nothing to hurt their cause.

The problem is if other teams see this too, who's going to trade up?

[texaspackerbacker]

I've got a bad feeling that they're gonna make a lot of ya'all happy and take an O Lineman. If they do, they damn well better do their homework and get somebody who won't be a bust.
