I like it, but I've heard that Aaron Williams projects as more of a safety, which we don't need. But he is very athletic and he does have great ball skills. So we'll just have to wait and see what Ted Thompson thinks.

Yes, as i said he's a bit of a tweener, but that makes him versatile/valuable. You can use him like Charles Woodson (of course he's not a Charles Woodson at the moment 😉 ) You can line him up man-to-man on the outside, put him in the slot, let him blitz .... Not a bad thing at all.

Oh okay it was community mock draft then.

Yeah, I meant the first two picks. In that situation, I would have gone Danny Watkins and Jarvis Jenkins.

Still, you get a plus one for the Acho pick. I wouldn't be shocked at all, if the Packers go in that direction in round two or maybe early round three if they move up. He's Packer People. :)

Danny Watkins scared me because of his age. He'll turn 27 in his first season in the NFL. Jarvis Jenkins was not on my board for #64. Besides Young I considered Acho, Iowas DE Christian Ballard and Dontay Moch out of Nevada. The last 2 went shortly after my pick, thank god Acho was still on his way down.

Acho was my personal favourite pick of the Draft.

Wow, it's impressive that 32 people actually did this. It is a lot different from a one-person mock draft (most of which are only one round) because you can see how a GM has to adapt to the situation as it unfolds. Sounds like a lot of fun. I have no idea if you picked the right guys, because I don't pay much attention to college football, but you made a good case for each one of them.

I am willing to throw my hat into the ring for a similar event on PackersHome.

If we could get 16 people together, each person could "adopt" one NFC team and one AFC team. Teams (with the exception of the "plum assignment," Green Bay) could be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis, with the Packers being awarded by lottery after everyone had picked their AFC team.

Perhaps we could even offer a prize to the person who selected the most correct picks for their team. 😃

Thanks for posting this. I think the Packers position and where the tiers stop hurts the Packers... because it seems like the tiers stop before the Packers picks for the most part this year... which would make trading up or back might be good ether way to get more value.

If a few more QBs sneak up into the first that might mean more guys the Packers are interested in fall and maybe trade up. If they don't it might make it very interesting for the teams looking for QBs to grab one with the later picks in the 1st. Meaning the Packers might get good value trading back.

i don't wanna be the party pooper on this, but we had tough timelines (3h fixed window in rounds 1-4 and 2h after the last pick in rounds 5-7) to get it done and it took overall almost 5 weeks. with the draft upcoming in not more than one week, we should move this to next year 😉

totally agree. the board with the top-tier guys was empty after wilkerson (#30). unfortunately no trades (neither up nor down) worked out.

Sounds fun. Too bad there's not enough time this year but count me in next year! Of course who says we can't do this after the draft? I'd still have fun.

dfosterf (1h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (1h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (1h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (1h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (1h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (1h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (1h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (1h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (1h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (3h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (3h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (3h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
