We're less than a day from the 2023 Draft and a few days into a new era in Packers history. So in order to kill some time until the draft starts, what are your draft predictions?

1. Gute will take an offensive lineman in the draft: layup at this point
2. Three TEs will be taken by the end of draft: need bodies at the position badly and Gute has zero issue double and triple dipping at a position 
3. Gute will break from his traditional size requirements and take a smaller guy at WR (less than 6 foot 200 pounds): weak WR class, lots of smaller guys and the need for speed means Gute gets away from his usual standards. 
4. Aaron Jones' replacement will be drafted in the 4th/5th round and will be almost identical in height, weight, RAS score etc: Jones is going to be 29 by the end of the season and will have a hefty cap hit next year (just north of $17 million according to Over the Cap).

AJ Dillon is in final year so I think a RB or two seems likely. I try to look at the expiring contracts and the career duration of players. That has been helpful in projecting positions the Packers will try to load up on. RB's are a position that they tend to have short careers while they can be productive in year one. So you can wait until RB is in final year to draft someone to replace the production. 

I'm going on a tangent and way off topic so I shuddup now. Good stuff though Mucky and it makes sense! So that means Packers will draft three QB's

JSN - I think he is on par with Garrett Wilson as a prospect 
OT - There is a good group of prospects. Think Peter Skoronski fits the culture of our team.
Pass Rush - Luke Van Ness reminds me of DeMarcus Ware

Bold Prediction - Packers make two picks tonight.
