I like White, but I could also get Mack Wilson at 30 if I can draft an edge or WR worthy of #12 I go that way, if not I definitely take White.

My latest one goes like this:

Rd 1 pick 12: Ed Oliver DT Houston - Best player available I'm starting to think we're on the downside of Daniels' time in Green Bay and we were thin at times on the interior last year, love to see this guy as a Packer.

Rd 1 Pick 30: A.J. Brown WR Ole Miss - Ole Miss had possibly the best WR corps in the country happy to get one of theirs.

Rd 2 Pick 12: Taylor Rapp S Washington - I can't see taking a 1st round S we've been burned by that recently, so getting one of the highest rated Safeties in round 2 is a decent selection.

Rd 3 Pick 11: Michael Deiter G Wisconsin - Best interior lineman in the country can move around and play at least 4 positions on the line. Steal in round 3.

Rd 4 Pick 12: Darius Slayton WR Auburn - I watched this guy alot as an Auburn fan to me he's another Geronimo Allison, which to me right now is a step above Randall Cobb.

Rd 4 Pick 16: Austin Bryant Edge Clemson - I think he's a steal here at a position that may be thin. It LITERALLY may only be Bosa then everybody else.

Rd 5 Pick 12: T.J. Edwards LB Wisconsin - Solid thumper good in pass and run. 3 down backer, put him opposite Blake and I think we have something, and if not look at Round 7.

Rd 6 Pick 12: Brett Rypien QB Boise State - Nephew of former Redskins QB Mark Rypien so some pedigree. Green Bay never takes the **** pick at QB, and comes up with a guy that either nobody thinks anything of or a guy who slides down the draft. I think if it's not Kizer in 2022, I think it's Rypien.

Rd 6 Pick 21: Kaleb McGary OT Washington - I was looking for another OL who could possibly play RT or inside, McGary seemed to fit. Would prefer another Big Ten or an SEC guy, but I think this guy can at least be a solid backup for several years.

Rd 7 Pick 12: Deshaun Davis LB Auburn - Again a guy I saw alot of the last 2-3 years. I don't know if he fits in as a backup behind Martinez as a play caller which he did at Auburn, or if he fits in alongside Martinez in the defense. Sideline to Sideline player, looks like Ray Lewis when he plays, but smaller at 5'11. If he was 6'1-6'3 or taller easily a third rounder or higher.

Just feel like we have too much invested in the receivers we drafted last year. I highly doubt any receiver in this yrs draft we come out and take a starting job from EQ or MVS. Geronimo is still here, plus A-Rod doesn't want another rookie receiver yr like last yr. Andy Isabella I think could fit in seamlessly for Cobb, and he'll probably be top 5 WR in the 40 yd dash.

I highly doubt either MVS or EQ will be starting in 2019.

Any reasoning behind that? EQ is highly productive. His size and speed make him a mismatch. His immaturity is the only thing that pushed him down the draft board. He'll be our second leading receiver this yr.

Yeah, I fully expect Adams, a veteran slot receiver signed in the offseason and Allison to be the starter this season. Both MVS and EQ will receive significant playing time though.

We have the cap space but any free agent moves will probably be strictly defensive. WRs are over paid in free agency. And we need DL and Safety help over receiver.

In my opinion the Packers need to add a veteran receiver this offseason if they let Cobb walk away in free agency.

Would t be a bad move at all. But there are only a few that are worth it for the price tag. Golden Tate there's alot of bad blood there. (Fail Mary) I would like to see John Brown in green & gold. I think he could fill in nicely for Cobb, without being too expensive.

I would prefer the Packers to pursue Humphries as a veteran slot receiver. Brown has mostly lined up on the outside over his career.

For the price tag of a top ten free agent receiver I'm leaning more towards C. Patterson. At least we'll finally get a much needed return man.

Patterson would definitely improve the return game but I wouldn't rely on him having an impact as a receiver though.

Agreed. But he showed to be an effective runner. Especially against us last year. And I would assume LaFleur will be running a bit more jet sweeps than McCarthy ever ran.

 

[GreenNGold_81]

I can see MVS having a regular role on offense - I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he won't be the wr3 by the end of next season. He could definitely make the jump (but so could Moore, Kumerow, and so can Eq). The thing is we can't plan for that at this point... So, a veteran would be a great addition (Humphries, or Tate who will come at a discount given his age). The rest of the depth should fight it out for the WR3 spot.

I'd also be in favor of drafting another WR who fits in the slot if we do not pursue Humphries or decide to save money to sign a defensive FA or olineman for example - Deebo Samuel if he drops to the early 2nd would be my choice. There are some sites that have him going in the late first though.

 

[GleefulGary]

I highly doubt either MVS or EQ will be starting in 2019.

I'm sorry, what?

Essentially 3 WR's "start" or play the vast majority of the snaps in our offense. You don't think MVS or EQ will be one of those three?

You're kidding, right?

There is a possibility we go two TE a lot of the time (apparently that's what Lafleur wanted in Tenn before Walker went down - maybe that's because outside of Davis their WR's were hot garbage) but I think you're right to assume there will be a lot of three receiver sets.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

Agreed. But he showed to be an effective runner. Especially against us last year. And I would assume LaFleur will be running a bit more jet sweeps than McCarthy ever ran.

While Patterson had success running the ball against the Packers he only rushed the ball a total of 31 times for 167 yards and no touchdowns the rest of the season.

I'd rather have Jones and Williams getting the majority of the carries.

As I've mentioned above I expect the Packers to sign a veteran slot receiver resulting in Adams, Allison and that player to start at receiver.

Rd 4 Pick 16: Austin Bryant Edge Clemson - I think he's a steal here at a position that may be thin. It LITERALLY may only be Bosa then everybody else.

For starters, unless they have loaded up in free agency somehow, if the Packers wait until the middle of round 4 to pick a rusher, I might just throw an object at my TV. And I'm pretty sure I won't be the only person.

Secondly, the consensus is that the draft is deep with pass rushing talent so, I really don't know why you think it is thin.

It's Bosa and everybody else. We aren't getting Bosa and the rest of the guys may not move the needle.

 

[green&goldsoul]

Let's keep it honest and not emotional...
Ohio State does not play an SEC schedule. Now with that said, I'm not taking anything away from Bosa. He performed well and comes from a great Pedigree. But he didn't face supreme competition on a weekly basis. (Rutgers, Indiana, Michigan State, Maryland who they nearly lost to) So to just assume he's far greater than every other pass rusher in the class is absurd. He may be??? But ask urself, without that name attached to that jersey (both names) OSU & Bosa, would he be getting this much recognition?

 

[Deleted member 6794]

Bosa seems to be the best edge rusher available in this year's draft but there are some others capable of having an immediate impact as a rookie as well.

Thoughts on all the free agent acquisitions???

Did you just get here We've been giving our thoughts on all the free agent signings all over the site since this morning.
