One of my favorite things to do after each round is look at the draft from the perspective of the division.iiiii

After all win the division and get a spot in the big dance.

Here is one such perspective from ESPN.COM

From ESPNCOM

9. Chicago Bears

Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia | Highlights

The Bears moved up two spots to draft a player who had 4.5 sacks in 2015. Floyd never dominated at Georgia. He is an incredible athlete, but the pick is risky. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will have to coach up Floyd, who needs to put on weight. The Bears did need another pass-rusher, but to surrender a fourth-round choice for Floyd is odd. Thumbs down. -- Jeff Dickerson

16. Detroit Lions

Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State | Highlights

Bob Quinn’s first pick as the general manager of the Lions is a safe one and a smart one. Matthew Stafford was sacked 89 times the past two seasons and taking Decker at No. 16 was a good decision by Quinn. Decker can come in and play right tackle immediately, improving the running game and giving Stafford more protection. Long term, he could end up as Stafford’s blindside protector. Thumbs up. -- Michael Rothstein

23. Minnesota Vikings

Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss | Highlights


The Vikings wanted a true split end and in Treadwell they got one. He doesn’t turn 21 until this summer, has the size to handle press coverage (and block for Adrian Peterson) and he should give Teddy Bridgewater a much-needed target in an offense that ranked 31st in the league in passing last season. Thumbs up. -- Ben Goessling

27. Green Bay Packers

Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA | Highlights


The Packers allowed 4.5 yards per rush last season, the fourth-worst average in the NFL. And they lost their best run-stopping defensive lineman, B.J. Raji, who unexpectedly decided to walk away from football. So getting an interior lineman with excellent size (6-foot-2½, 314 pounds) and strength (29 reps on the bench press at the combine) should help even with his UCLA teammate Myles Jack on the board. Plus, Clark had six sacks last season for UCLA as a junior and he’s only 20 years old. Thumbs up. -- Rob Demovsky

I'd rather have had someone else, but I like GB's pick best of the four. Decker I would have picked over Clark at #27, but not at 16.

On the other hand, I'm really glad that all three of the division rivals reached as much (Detroit) or more (Chicago, Minnesota) as Ted might have.

And as someone said in another thread, the fact that all those DL I liked better than Clark were passed on by all of the teams suggests he didn't reach as much as I would have.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

beast (5h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?
dfosterf (10h) : Mackelvie
dfosterf (10h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?
dfosterf (10h) : Youtube
Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.
dfosterf (18h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (19h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha
wpr (19h) : Tomorrow is almost here.
packerfanoutwest (20h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?
packerfanoutwest (20h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him
Zero2Cool (22h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.
packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
