Braelon Allen to the Jets and Rodgers!

Boooooooooooooooooooo









lol

Hey, if I win the contest, I am fine with an asterix next to my name on the traveling trophy. As well as a downgrade on the grand prize. Instead of the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, I am fine with a Lamborghini Veneno.

 

[Schultz]

Let's talk todays picks. Even though Hicks is still out there. Doubt he lasts to 126. I would not trade up for him at this point. Time for a CB. 1. Hart 2. Abe-Drain 3. Carson If they wait late rounders for me are K. Jackson, Brownlee, Brown, Sheppard. I couldn't find any testing for DJ James. I wouldn't complain if they got Hicks but there are later guys like Mustapha, Oladapo, Tay-Dem, Carlies, Hamptonb, Vaki, E. Williams.

time for round 5. Trade up candidates. C. Jones, Mahogany, Laumea, Booker, Taylor & Wingo. I obviously like the guys in my above post that have not been drafted yet.

Nope you win I'm sending the Amari Rodgers signed jersey and expect a picture of you in it while in a public place

 

[Schultz]

Dang. My favorite CB left just went Harbaugh. Time to pick a new favorite CB left.

No telling what the new DC is envisioning for the defense but this sounds plausible.

The 4th round pick..Evan Williams is a second safety. Aggressive. And quick... But slow in the 40.

I'm not a fan of slower secondary under 6' unless they have substantial speed to make up for it. Williams is 5'11 200 and ran a 4.6-40 at combine. The combine doesn't measure football skills and attitude of course.... I am impressed with his 40.5" vertical and 10'6" broad jump. That reassures the idea he is quicker than fast.

Again..I'll have to trust Gute on this one.

But it doesn't look like they will be transitioning any LBs to safety unless injuries decimate a position.

This new scheme is kind of exciting to me personally. Looking forward to seeing these guys in action.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

That physical freak RB Guerendo went to 49ers.... Which sucks. He would've looked good in green and gold. I'm super stoked about our RB corps this year though. Just still a little(lot) bitter about the playoff loss still.... Honestly I'm still pissed at the cowboys from the 90s. And Atlanta(vick) and eagles(4th 26) and 49ers (Kaepernick) and..... Well maybe I should name the teams I don't hold a grudge against. Lol. Its a shorter list.

Williams is a box safety type, you don’t need blazing speed out of a guy that is likely called on to be slot or box type positioning.

Well damn, if it is a photo in a public place, how can I make it sexy for you?

Fun fact: Edgerrin Cooper was #45 on the consensus board, Javon Bullard was #58, and Marshawn Lloyd was #88. Weirdly precise.

Ah-ha! So, finally we figure out Gute's real secret formula....

Nice work, Chief Inspector Scheeler...

 

[Schultz]

They finally trade up.

 

[ExpatPacker]

Packers take Jacob Monk, Duke.

 

[Schultz]

If they do not use 168 and or 190 from the trade to move up consider this. 168 could allow them to take a center a year early. If somebody like Limmer, Nourzad or Nugent were on the board. 190 could be a nice spot to take Sam Hartman.

I was half right.

Guerrendo is not a football player, he's a sprinter

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

More options to replace Myers this season or next. Another guy who might be able to play all over the OL.

 

[Thirteen Below]

With all the hand wringing over "Gute's 3rd round", because I have done it too, does anyone know what the average "success" rate for a 3rd rounder in the NFL even is? The reason I ask is this, maybe Gute knows that the rate is rather low.

It's surprisingly hard to say for sure, because there's really no asolute criteria for what's a success. A guy who just makes the 53? Or a guy who sticks long enough to sign a 2nd contract? A starter? A solid rotational player? There just isn't a universal standard for that category, and you can find guesses at it all over the board.

Edit: but whatever the league average is, I think it's safe to say that so far, we're way under the curve.

 

[PikeBadger]

Do we still have 4 picks left?

 

[Schultz]

Yes. 169-202-245-255 by my unofficial count.

 

[tynimiller]

Monk is a very athletic and quick first step arm technique guy that is as much guard as he is center.

Much prefer Limmer but Gute just shored up both iOLs spots for worst case depth and best case a guy that pushes for a spot.

 

[ExpatPacker]

Oladapo. think the Packers were concerned about Safety?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Oladapo!!!

one round too early for my Amish pick!!

 

[PikeBadger]

Yes. 169-202-245-255 by my unofficial count.

Thanks. I never heard any specifics on the last trade up.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

This center we got Monk, looks really good. 6'3" 308. Started 58 games at all three positions. And team captain twice.... Pretty damn good. I'm happy.

I wanted the powers-Johnson, or that Frazier the Steelers got looks great too. From the 2nd round.... But this makes me feel better. Monk is a packer type, for sure. And a great value in the 5th imo

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Oladapo!!!

NICE!!! That's the type of safety I like to see. 6'2" 217.... I'm very happy seeing a 3rd safety if he is what I wanted.... I think we're set at safety for now.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Do we still have 4 picks left?
