C to C-
I'm also not happy about moving up to 21 for a Safety from a POS big ten school. Sorry to all Maryland fans I offended with that comment, but being sorry doesn't make me wrong.
We seem to be on course for a 5/10 draft. Meh...underwhelming and disappointing.
Open to guys surprising me, but ain't gotta hold my breath!
Rashan Gary - 4/10 - Talented but underwhelming performer.
Darnell Savage - 6/10 - Talented but short, underwhelming tackler against big WR/TE.

Could have been a lot better. I really hate the "talented.... but" players that our front office likes so much.
It's a fair criticism to say that Gary's talent was not in evidence in Michigan's box scores. Much like Joey Bosa in his final season (5 sacks in 12 games), Gary's production underwhelmed (3.5 sacks in 9 games).
But if someone tries to say that his talent was not in evidence on tape, I would suggest that they didn't watch him with a fair eye, or they don't know what they're looking at. His ability jumps off the screen.
I figured you would try to sell everyone on this trash.
Yeah, I'm really mad Gutekunst didn't draft a safety from a powerhouse like Bethune-Cookman

If I'm Aaron Rodgers I'm shaking my head a bit... how many early defensive picks do we need to spend in order for us to have the defense we want? Oline and WR hopefully today.
Who does everyone want them to look at today at 44 and 75 to help make up for last night?
We are collectively never going to be happy with every pick. But is there any player(s) that would make it better?
The Gary pick trumps this one in terms of bad

I was going to say, from the little i've been able to see, I'm surprised his stats weren't better. He's strong, quick, can shed a block to come back inside or outside etc. But i've been watching highlight videos, so i can't make any declarations about it.It's a fair criticism to say that Gary's talent was not in evidence in Michigan's box scores.

I think there are a lot of good players that will be there at 44 and even at 75. One of them will be OL I think.
This would be my "short list" of players I would love to see at 44, even better at 75, but I doubt any of them last long enough to get to 75.
- Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State
- A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
- Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
- Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
- Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
- Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
- Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington
- Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
- Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama
- Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia
- Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
- Te'Von Coney, ILB, Notre Dame
- Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
I think this forum would explode if they went more defense instead of offense.
It's very odd to me that so many people think that this pick was a reach based on "expert" opinions.
This is bizarre when you consider where many "experts" ranked him before the draft.
Lance Zierlein: 7th
Daniel Jeremiah: 10th
Dane Brugler: 13th
I am not telling anyone to feel differently about this pick based on these guys. You all might feel good or bad about these analysts... I don't know.
All I'm saying is that a number of reputable analysts had Gary right in the range of pick #12, if not a little earlier. And yet many people are labeling him a reach based on pre-draft projection. It's a confusing contradiction.
Agreed, I only threw Greedy, Wilson and Coney in the list due too value and potentially need. CB and ILB are 2 positions that I just don't know where the Packers sit right now.
they signed two defensive free agents, that will both start, and drafted a starting safety.Draft and Develop continues....
Honestly, given who was still left on the board when the Packers picked at #12, I think anyone they picked last night would probably solicit this same reaction from most. It's kind of built into the DNA of many. That isn't bashing anyone, just facts and I have been a part of it too. I thought the Rodgers pick was stupid at the time, figured he would never see the field as a Packer. How wrong I was.
