2024 draft discussion thread

[Sip]

I wanted Bishop but I really like Bullard as well.

 

[Big L]

They have drafted the best LB and Safety in this draft

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Got the #1 ranked LB and safety on the ESPN rankings. ... In the second round..... Can't complain about that.

 

[Jayzee1981]

very very nice 2nd round. Can also get more guard help in the 3rd

 

[Big L]

Hicks and Bishop are more in your box types, while B has a much better all around game - they made the right choice

Darn. I really liked this draft until you pointed that out.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Bullard was the best of the free safety class. He really doesn't have much competition so he could be walking into a starting job real quick. It's a nice pick in that a fills a big need, he's got a lot of good skills and Gute didn't reach into the 5th round for the pick so the value is there.

 

[DoURant]

I love it. Getting cocky is usually the kiss of death. Did you just jinx yourself. I think 90% of people had ECoop in the 2nd. You could have a big lead and then someone pulls out a 6th or 7th rounder and ****.

Well I didn't have Bullard, so my run is over, but we were having some fun today. I always say you gotta have fun

 

[Sanguine camper]

Getting Bullard shouldn't stop Gute from getting Odapo from Washington State with pick 168 from the Saints. I think he'd be a steal in the 5th and would even be worth a 4th round pick.

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

Oh **** the Lions.

 

[txj]

Going well so far...

 

[Schultz]

Come on Gute, trade up, I am starting to get bored. Honestly, I do not want him to overpay. CBs who could last until 91. J.Jones, Hart, Carson, Phillips, & R. Green. Thoughts on the other 3rd round pick? DL-E-RB? Double up at OL or LB?

 

[Sanguine camper]

We really won't have much opportunity to compare Packer picks with Viking picks since they gutted their draft to move up 6 places in round 1 yesterday. I know draft chart value has a place but did the Jaguars ever get a huge haul in draft capital. High 3rd and 4th round picks are nothing to sneeze at. A lot of starters and important depth players are found there.

 

[Thirteen Below]

3 picks in, and the Gutemonster has solved 3 of our 4 biggest problems - 2 of 3 immediate, and one depth problem. Immediate help at S and LB, a solid depth/upgrade at OL. That's a damned good start. Even if he doesn't make another pick, he's probably made our team significantly better already.

I'm hoping next we go CB and maybe EDGE, then start double-dipping at just about any point he sees the right value. The man is on top of his game this weekend.

 

[RepStar15]

Now 3 young players that are day 1 starters for the Pack. An absolute bullet so far for Gute and company.

 

[Thirteen Below]

Don't change that channel, folks. Stay in front of your TV. With 2 5ths, 3 6ths, and 2 7ths, there is probably at least one Day Two trade coming tonight. I'll be surprised if we don't pick again until 88.

 

[Thirteen Below]

Sure feels different to be a Packer fan these days, as compared to 40-50 years ago.

I don't know - Gute has filled the three true needs already, and they are positions where a second selection is off the table. He's in great position to let the board come to him.

Yes, that's true, he definitely is. But 30 picks is a long time for a guy like Gute to go without seeing at least one player slide to where he can't resist moving up and poaching him. I think it's most likely he would trade for a CB, but most other positions, he would be more likely to take what's there and count on his staff to spot talent that other teams don't see.

Aside from CB, I would expect him to double dip at LB and OL (or maybe go WR) with his BPA at any given spot. Maybe even a QB.

I rarely make specific prediction regarding things I can not control, but I did come close a few times the last couple of months when I said I fully expect him to turn his 11 picks into at least 13. And now at the end of 2 rounds, we have 3 excellent players, plus 10 more picks - more than most other teams had even at the start.

Seems a lot of teams have injury concerns about LB Wilson.

 

[DoURant]

I felt 3rd Rd is where the injury concerns shouldn't matter anymore, and taking a chance was valid.

 

[Firethorn1001]

Not surprising given he has filled up his get 10 surgeries get the 11th free punchcard

 

[tynimiller]

I called Beebe go soon...I'll say this if Glaze makes it out of the third I'd be surprised. HOT TAKE

 

[tynimiller]

If Wilson is there when we pick and Gute writes his name down - I'm cool with it in the third.

 

[tynimiller]

HOLY ****....there he went. Not in a million years LOL that's awesome
