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).

Good observations. May want to add one more- Gute takes an older player in the first two rounds.

Okay, we do have four 7th round picks, so I guess three of them will likely be TE's. It helps shore up special teams!!

I would like to give a prediction. I'm just too uninformed. I didn't watch a single game of college outside of Badgers games. So, everything I know is from combine results, highlight videos and box score reads. 

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

Tbh, I dont know much about college guys either. I'm just going based on Gutes past tendencies+what I've been able to learn the past week or so (as you said in another thread, it felt like the draft season only started after Rodgers got traded)

Regarding RB, I think Dillon will be kept around since he's younger and will likely be more affordable plus he'll be the power to someone else's speed in the future.

I dont know about three QBs, but I think they'll draft one. 👍

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.

I think Gute will keep getting players that are at least 200 lbs. This draft is loaded with smaller WRs but there are absolutely some big ones as well. I'm thinking Tillman, Rice, Mingo... Packers also met with some in predraft.

This would only be if he falls to the Packers picks in the 2nd round but the RB from Alabama, I was thinking he would be like Dalvin Cook but faster and the Packers might like that for a potential RB replacement.

Someone over 270 lbs will be drafted by the Packers in the 2nd round (or wherever the 2nd round picks are traded to).


Some fans are going to be upset lol
I might be totally wrong, but I'm thinking they're having a rebuilding year and this draft will be about loading up the offense for QB Love and letting the offense develop together, as it can take the offense longer to get on the smae page and then hopefully they'll be set going into 2024 and the future.
