2025 NFL Draft Day 2

[smuggler]

Ugh - starting to hate this draft already...which means they'll be pro bowlers. LOL

Post of the day.

I think Wallace is an average at best OT but he'll get paid..just not be GB. If Morgan showed more we would not have signed Banks "and" drafted this guy

I disagree 100% for multiple reasons. Last season I said out OL was weak. Walker is below average for starting LT, Myers was a tire fire for starting C and Rhyan was finally showing life, but not enough to make you confident he was the future.

Morgan was injured early and then again. They tried to put him at a spot he NEVER played in his life on a side he NEVER played in his life. I think they recognize that trying to force it because they didn't have faith in Rhyan was a mistake.

OL is the heart of any offense (ask the Lions if you don't believe me). We are stacking talent. I like the Belton pick AND the Banks signing. Not so crazy about drafting Jaire 2.0 to be our alpha WR. He has talent, but he is also a bit of an egomaniac.

Here is what is happening. We are getting bigger and stronger. Belton probably plays RG immediately or at least rotates. Morgan goes back to LT where he belongs....maybe this year, maybe next.

Packers want the tush push outlawed, but didn't have the votes so we are going big and strong. I expect a lot of sneaky cheese packages this year. Add in that we drafted a 6'4" 222 lb. wildcat and I'm near positive this offense will be different than last season. We ran the ball last year, but I think MiLF intends to impose his will on teams this year (the Golden pick is even more weird to me in light of everything else).

Again, I always inclue what I would have done, so instead of Golden/Belton, I'd probably have drafted Simmons/Bech. Just my 2 cents, but I like the direction things are heading. I'm also baffled at our lack of CBs. By drafting a WR in the 1st we seem to be saying we like our CB room better than our WR room (especially when you doubled down). I'm fine with our edge room to be honest. I like a lot of the guys and I think its reasonable to expect some bounceback from Gary and improvement from Van Ness. And the rest of the room isn't too shabby for rounding the position out.

DT is pretty deep in this draft and there are still some nice players left. I expect 2 today. I'll chime in more later, but I'm outta time.

Not going to lie, I am pretty disappointed in the Packers second round pick. I hate being that guy that questions picks because I simply don't know what these well paid front office guys know, but there was a lot of potential defensive help left in round two. Nothing personal against Anthony Belton, but the Packers invested a lot with Morgan last year. I thought Morgan was a reach for a first rounder and nothing has changed after his rookie year to make me think otherwise.

I would have taken Trey Amos or Mike Green. The Packers should have ran to the podium to take either of those two guys.

Agree on Green 100%. I said I don't think we need edge, but I also think he was a steal at that point.

Obviously this is a pretty historic free fall for an athlete that at the moment of this post has not had any criminal or civil issues. Sanders fall from grace is damn near an NFL blackball job. Kiper is desperate to call it what it is, the NFL is locking the gates to Sanders in this draft. My assumption is that Sanders at this point might be calling all teams telling them not to draft him and that he will sign somewhere as a free agent.

Well, I said that Sanders was a 3rd round talent a few times. Apparently I was overestimating it. Given the profile and attitude the 3rd talent becomes draftable around the 5th.

It seems to me with the addition of Jacobs, the new FA guard from SF, the bulky OT in round 2, and the screen/gadget WR in round 3, the Packers are committed to winning at the LOS and improving the run game. Reminds me of the SF offenses of the past and should make Love's job easier.

Got in the draft theater for free. We’re right on the gate. Pretty cool.

Who’s our guess at pick coming up?

[run pMc]

As I think about it, I wonder if they are going to put Morgan at LT and Belton at RG eventually. He's tall for a G, but boy is he big and physical.

The WR pick still is a head scratcher. Roylas and Ayomanor were still on the board.


Mike Green has major character flags, as apparently Swinson (?)

Not sure if there's a Day 3 thread, but Barryn Sorrell gets a lot of love from scouts. Good agility, really strong and smart, lacking in pass-rush polish and has short arms. Probably a Kingsley replacement, but he's competition for Aaron Mosby and Brenton Cox Jr.
Not a bad pick, they needed to do something lol

Nice. You can walk up to the front where sombrero Packer is?

It’s gonna be a LBer.

[RashanGary]

Gute has been doing well the last few years. 4 good drafts in a row is very rare. Cant imagine we wouldn’t be an elite team in the heels of that.

[Jaire]

And there's our Georgia pick, and DT.

[Teamcheez1]

I’m okay with our draft.
Hit on a few draft picks and maybe a couple UDFA’s and this team will be better.
I like that they’re not afraid to challenge players on the roster.

[Fosco33]

Dude. We ended up getting selected and sat front row for 6/7th rounds and the concert after.

Got a selfie w/ one of the female hosts, met Scott Hanson (nfl red zone). Had no expectations but it was really well done and pretty fun. Fans of all teams were great and I’m sure I was on TV a lot (heavily booing all of the Bears picks).

[Jaire]

very good draft. Nice job working the board and the strength of the draft. A couple interesting fliers on Oliver and Willams. The rest were solid picks addressing the biggest needs having just gone 1-5 in the division. One of my favorite drafts in the Gute era.


Also, the last few years is showing a pattern of seeking out cbs in later rounds/UDFA: a lot more effort to return to the Tramon Williams/Sam Shields era.

That was my impression immediately after the pick. As I've said, pack can't get the tush push outlawed so they sign one of the biggest mauler guards in the league and draft a guy like him in the 2nd. Then they add a wildcat guy who can squat 600 with an insane burst. We have options. Imagine Kraft in motion with Savion in backfield. Kraft stops under center to take a snap with Savion pushing from behind. Do it on 2nd and 6, I don't care. NFL wants rugby lets give them rugby. The off season moves and draft lead me to believe we will be the most physical offense in the league.
