Any bold draft predictions?

My predictions are

~ With the Packers 2nd selection the Packers will select a major need (continuing the Packers longterm trend)....

~ To be more bold, the Packers take a Safety with the 2nd choice. (preference to FS).

~ Packers will select an OT in the first two days (top three rounds). And I want to go bolder and say the first three selections.

~ Packers will make a trade on day 1.

~ Packers draft another STer, though I'm thinking returner, could be kicker instead.

I wouldn't be surprised to see S, OT, DT, TE as position selected high by the Packers. And maybe ILB next (depends on how they see Martinez, Burks and Josh Jones)

Edit: ~A power RB is drafted, maybe higher than we're thinking

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I'm not saying they're going to be the starter, but I think one is important to the scheme.

GB drops back from 12 to mid teens and picks up a 3rd.
GB uses #30 to take TE.
GB takes Parris Campbell in the 2nd round.

The over/under for trades by Gutey is 4.5.

I say he will go over!

Before you go looking I just made that number up! Vegas has not called yet to hire me to set numbers.

They're gonna take Ed Oliver or Montez Sweat. If neither is there, trade back.

OLB, T, TE. That's what they're looking for early.

S, RB are strong in the mid rounds. They could double up on pass rusher and TE.

If a QB falls, don't be shocked.

30th pick will be sought after. Why not get an extra pick in the top 90? If they trade back on both of these, they could end up with 5 picks in the top 50.

I feel that we do the trade down with the 12th pick unless somebody falls that we really didn't expect the opportunity to draft. I believe the trade comes into play depending on how the QBs are drafted. If the QBs go early we then probably stay where we are.

I have the felling we are going OT with first pick. I do wonder whether we change the type of linemen we are drafting. We have pretty good pass blockers, but not very good at run blocking. If LaFleur wants run the ball we might need to re-think our big guys up front.

In the past I would think that Dillard would be the pick as he is the best pass blocker supposedly in the draft. Not sure who they may be targeting of the OTs.

Only trouble is with Bulaga. He's solid, but doesn't have that same foot quickness, after all these knee operations.

Cody Ford is a T they could take high, who also has versatility. Under Mike and Ted, this team always valued that. Save a roster spot so we can carry 3 FBs, 5 TEs, 7 WRs, whatever we had that year.

Nowadays we should be stockpiling CBs.

#10

Here is my 1st night of the draft for the Packers

with the #12 pick we trade with the Redskins so they can draft a QB and then with the 15th pick we draft a TE one of the Hawkeyes. Then with the #30 pick we make a trade with the Cardinals, we send them the #30 pick and we get Josh Rosen in exchange.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
