Very interested in what positions we take with our two second round  picks.  Branch still available and our need at Safety could Gute trade up?  I would prefer we keep our picks, but I could see the desire to secure the best Safety in the draft.

I'm working off my phone. It's difficult to type. At a glance I am thinking TE, WR and S are the greatest needs. I have no idea which of these players are really worthwhile. I'm going off of 2 consensus big boards.
TE
Mayer
Washington
Musgrave
Kraft
LaPorta

WR
Hyatt
Downs
Tillman
Rice
Mims
Dell

S
Branch
Johnson
Battle
Brown

Picking at 13 & 15 someone will be there. Depending on how the Packers value them they might select another player.

I like Kevin's picks. I'm thinking there may be a run on WRs and TEs before the Packers pick because everyone knows they need both. So maybe they end up with S and/or OL here in the second round.

Do you (anyone) think this is accurate? I pose this question because the more I think about my TE selection, I think he might be too athletic/project-y for the Packers in round two.

Round 1: Extremely high potential developmental athlete. (Alexander, Gary, Savage, Love, Walker, Wyatt)

Round 2: Where's the beef? (Jenkins, Dillon, Myers)... 

Round 3: Some tweener player whom can't play either position in the pros (Burks, Sternberger, Digara, Amari, Rhyan)

===================

I thought that was a great breakdown, though I think for Round 2 it should be assuming we don't re-sign anyone, what's are biggest need next year's draft.

As that's gets you Jackson, Jenkins, Dillon, Myers and Watson.


Which, this year it would be TE and S

I think the experiment is over.

Round 2 is going to be a TE and WR. 3, an OL to be named later.

Burks was a Safety moved to LB to be a coverage LB

Sternberger was used like a WR in college (but had the TE label) and got moved to TE. Also, he never seemed like the smarter to start with, then concussions surely did not help. Also, Rodgers wanting players to know a ton of audibles that never get written down sure did not help either.
​​​​​​
Dugara, well, not so much of a tweener, as an H-back (which H-back is a TE/FB tweener by definition), so I guess tweener after all.
​​​​​​
Amari, WR but listen to the Packers post draft keep talking about using him at RB... which honestly that's on the Packers. To fit that roll well, you need speed, quickness or explosion, which Amari clearly didn't have... not sure why they thought that was a good idea.


Rhyan, played as a LT for a long time, but clearly didn't have the correct body type for it, and would surely be moving to OG in the pros. Also, his style is clearly going to have to change, as he was overcompensating to stay at LT and keep up with that speed and length, which if he does that at OG in the pros he'll get bowled right over will bull rush after bull rush, focus on power as he has enough quickness for an OG and doesn't need to overcompensate for it. Though, I still clearly had him behind Tom.

If Gute is looking for a Marcedes Lewis type, Washington is the pick.

Road Grader who wasn't used in the passing game a whole lot, but made the plays when called upon. Sound familiar.

45.
Cedric Tillman would be my pick for wr.
6' 3" - 220 Gute has almost always preferred the tall lanky guys. No 6-4 or 6-5 in this draft that I know of .

78.
J.L  Skinner S Boise State
Just like his size and ability.

I still wonder if Gute is going to try and trade Savage?
He traded HA Ha  
Savage has that 8mil guaranteed cap hit, sure would be nice to free up that money for cap space.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (5h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (15h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (15h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (15h) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (19h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (19h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (19h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (22h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (22h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (22h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (22h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (22h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (22h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (22h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (22h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
