Do you have a top 35 prospects? Not where you think they'll be selected, but just the best 35?

I'll try to find at least 28 guys I'd like, ensuring that we'd be able to get at least one of them at each pick.

Just my opinion..... I know they always take "the best player available". But to me, if your idea is to win NOW, because your MVP HOF QB probably won't be around for long, you should pick for immediate need. With 2 first round picks, you should be able to get a real good WR for your offense. Which is a huge need right now

So if you use your pick on a position that you already have good players, how will that help you win now?
If you have a car with a flat tire, and you can buy 3 car batteries at a good deal, your car still won't be drivable.
Like I said, it's just my opinion.
So don't go off on me!😁

Getting Kenny some help, another Edge rusher, an upgrade to Star position....heck improve our D to something elite is another way to win now. Not sure how much "need" factors in to win now as very few positions allow an easy transition from college to pros. Edge and Running back might be your best option for immediate impact help.

We're kind of spoiled by having the back-to-back NFL MVP playing QB, which is exactly why you do not reach to grab a WR for grabbing-WR-sake. There are free agent WR's out there who can help just as much as a late 1st round rookie is going to (my speculation, Jarvis Landry for example).

We have to also consider the rarity of rookies having a major impact on teams. BUT, it cannot be ignored that sometimes DEPTH can have a big impact. So, let's say you have two OLB's, if you draft another one, that helps those two be more effective because they can rest without a colossal drop-off.

Offensive players do not have the fast impact as much as defensive players do. Of course, there are exceptio0ns to that, (e.g. J. Chase) but Packers aren't picking in top half of round one unless they pee-pee away draft capital.

I will agree if the Packers have a WR with a 1B grade and then an OL with 1C, you take the WR because of the 2023 need.

Draft for immediate need, because "immediate" needs in April/May are kind of pointless. I'm probably just a Ted Thompson homer though because he would say your need in Spring isn't going to be your need in Fall/Winter and you can never have too many good football players.

If we need immediate help, we must address that via free agency, not by "reaching" in the draft.

If we need immediate WR help, there's guys like Will Fuller, Julio Jones (😬), Jarvis Landry, Allen Hurns, and some others.

Only my opinion.

The did sign Reed on the Dline, so they got a little depth back after Keke left. Plus Slaton should take a step his second year.

Mr. Nerdmann, did you intentionally neglect ILB? Any thoughts in this regard?

I would like the Packers to draft Chenal (sp?) from Wisconsin in the 3rd round if available.
Go Packers!!!!

Thanks for adding some class and intelligence to this thread Martha.

Good luck to you. I mean that.
