The 2019 Dantés Draft Thread

[AmishMafia]

The problem for the Packers and a potential QB related trade down is that there are 4-5 teams ahead of them that could taking a QB. So if there are 2-3 guys that people like enough to take that high, teams could be looking to trade up much higher than pick #12.

What's the opposite of a conundrum?

These players to me, are the real blue chip players:

Bosa, Allen, Q. Williams, Gary, Ferrel, and White.

The more QBs that go, the more likely one of these guys are available to us and we should sit tight anyway.

The next level: Taylor, Simmons, J. Williams, ??? Is probably what we end up with.

OK, no problem, I'm getting old, desperate for another SB before AR is too old, and I know TJ and his family. We would be proud to have him on our team, he won't let us down. We do not want Fant, I know things but I'm not putting them on an internet forum. Also want high draft picks used for offense, not defense. The league has changed, its all about scoring now.

I have no doubt you know TJ and his family just as I have no doubt Rodell knows the McDaniel family. I also respect your decision not to share certain information. I don't watch any college football so I respect anyone's opinions on who the better players are no matter how they come by that opinion. I've heard many people talking up Hockenson and Fant so from where I sit, thinking TE is a need but not a super high priority as long as they keep Graham, I would not be upset with either of them.

I do get the feeling that one will be better than the other but right now I have no idea which one. Graham will probably be gone after this year unless he produces like the JG from the Saints so the Packers will need a TE. If it takes a good year at least to groom a TE I'd rather draft his replacement now and have the new guy in place ready to break out when Graham leaves and not draft one and be in TE limbo for a year or more. Does that mean I want them to use #32 or 44 on a TE? That depends on what the coaches think about who is available. If they are sitting there at 32 and Fant and Hockenson are there and they think one might be the next Gronk or Gates or whoever then I'd be more than happy if they take him.

Glass half full... either more QB's go top 11 and the Packers get a better prospect at their pick OR, the QB's slip and they have a chance to perhaps trade down.

 

[Half Empty]

Would love to go with the Half Full scenario, but...

 

[HardRightEdge]

3-4 OLBs are probably worth discussing given the availability/cost in FA or trade is likely to be prohibitive.

I see Polite getting mentions at the #12 pick. The highlight cut ups show the burst, dip and motor you'd like but I think he'd be a big reach at that spot.

Consider his performance against Georgia at the 8:50 mark in this tape against good competition:

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

The commentator wonders who is the RT #79. That's Isaiah Wilson, a 5 star recruit playing as a redshirt freshman who goes about 6'7, 345 lbs. who was not a starter at the beginning of 2018. The LT #71 is Andrew Thomas, 6'5", 320 lbs, a freshman All America in 2017 and All-SEC and second team All America as a sophmore in 2018. It's easy to project these guys as starting in the NFL a year or two or three down the line at one position or another.

So, start with Polite's work against Wilson in the early part of the tape. He gets engulfed and can't out-quick him. Whether it's upper body strength, hand and arm size, technique or maybe a combination of the three, Polite engages and his arms collapse into the block. He doesn't fare much better as the tape goes on against either OT, shoved around the back of the pocket when not engulfed.

To his credit, he starts to make some headway in the 4th. quarter in getting around the edge, almost knocking the ball out of the QBs hand on one play, though that may be a stamina issue Wilson needs to work on. Nonetheless, Polite's motor keeps running throughout to his credit.

I think where he shows best is as a smart run defender.

I'll be curious to see what the Combine shows, particularly height/hands/arms/lifts. He doesn't look very big, which does need to be considered. FL lists him as 6'2, 260lbs. but those college numbers can be off. If he's in fact 6'2" he sure doesn't look 260 lbs.

You'll never hear anybody else say this, but his best position might be as an off-the-ball OLB in a scheme that likes to blitz and where his run reads can be put to use. Of course there's nothing I've seen where he drops into coverage and the game is such that off-the-ball guys need that 40 speed which the Combine would show. This is probably the last you'll hear of this idea.

Your pretty spot on here and he is a total reach at 12. I expect him to drop just like Tak McKinley did. He isn't anywhere near close to 260 either and is actually probably closer to 240. He is at best as you described a situational off the ball pass rusher.

Throw in his rumored attitude problem and I would just rather roll with Fackrell all together and trade back to re-load the offense. Polite like I posted already is a smaller Tak McKinley. I just don't see how picking this guy 12 gets us any closer to where we all want this team to be.

Good stuff, thanks.

Very consistent with what I observed in the one game I watched him. For some reason he reminded me of Jamal Reynolds. The guy doing the analysis was spot on "once someone gets their hands on him, he is locked up".

Like you said, maybe his speed and ability to read a play well would make him a decent 3-4 OLB but as of now, I wouldn't be happy with him at #12.

An EDGE and a TE could be in play and could be a great idea, but I'm not 100% sold on the choices. I prefer Hockenson to Fant (as does Brugler, so it's weird that he gives us Fant), and I'm still sorting things out among the edge rushers. I think I prefer Ferrell.

 

[brandon2348]

Lacy was effective for only two seasons though.

With the way things have been rolling lately I would take two really good years at this point.

 

[gbgary]

Bakhtiari is under contract through 2020, there's plenty of time to get a deal done with him.

yes if you want to try to redo him the same year as most of the other key guys and rodgers contract starts getting ridiculous. ryan's contract puts atl in nfl purgatory too.

I'd rather trade pick 32 for Antonio Brown and trade back from Pick 12 once or twice picking up an extra 2-3rd then eventually drafting Parris Campbell with that 1st(who will be in everyone's 1st round after combine) then go after Lindstrom in 2nd. I believe we can get Dillard with one of our 3rd's along with LJ Scott but time will tell. Just weeks ago Dillard was projected in 4-5th.

Aren't all great teams built through the WR corps?

The last time the Packers were "Great" they were I can tell you that much to start. For some reason we have forgotten who we are.

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

And since you asked in the "New NFL" where rules have changed making it almost impossible to stop top offenses then yes it's very very important to be stacked at WR. Whether people like that or not is up to them but it's the truth. Add the fact that the Packers have a 35 year old franchise QB and it thickens the pot that much more. We have spent the better part of 5 years pumping the defense while throwing the offense a bone here and there and it's cost us big time.

Btw, I'm not just advocating for WR's but OL, RB and TE if possible as well. The whole operation needs an overhaul and hopefully Gute understands this and follows through.

Agreed. I did a little math. This would be an example scenario without losing our shorts round 1. Again, note that moving back 5 spots is closer to waiting 4 spots IMO because we can dictate who doesn’t get picked #12.

IF we traded back around 5 spots with a team like a Cleveland, that should gain us a second early day 2 selection (this is just an example to show effect of your idea) These are just my own examples but you can switch your guys into those slots etc..
Day1
17th OT/Edge (traded our #12/112 for their #17/49
32nd Edge/OT(Bulagas successor in 2020)

Day2
44th RB/WR
49th WR/RB (acquired from Cleveland)
76th OG/TE

Day3
108 TE/OG
172 ILB/CB/QB (BAP)
182 CB/QB/ILB (BAP)
204 QB/ILB/CB (“ “)

I’m counting on Safety being addressed through FA and possibly also a upper echelon veteran Edge rusher so we can end the CM3 experiment. That gives us 2 Edge rushers (1 seasoned FA- Vet +1 1st day draft we can take advantage of a draft with stellar Edge rushers round 1 and feel good about moving on from Clay).
I feel like we can still get our Offense pumped with these picks don’t you?
#32, #44, #49, #76, #108.

Plus, Pettine wont have to suffer on D with
1. A stellar Safety
2. A very solid FA OLB (one of these 2 being elite)
3. A top #32 OLB/DE

Rodgers picks up
1. A top 5 range OT
2 A top 5 range WR
2. A top 5 range RB
3. A top 5 range TE
4. A top 5-10 range OG

 

[McKnowledge]

I don't think Q. Williams is worth two firsts, granted the idea of him paired with Clark sounds amazing. We really need that 30th-32nd pick to come back and be a winner for us. I really think because of the QB race in the Top 10 somebody great is going to still be on the board. But we won't know who until Draft Day.

Gotta bundle those two picks and trade up into at least the Top 5-10 range. See what's available and if nothing sticks out, trade down for more picks in the next or later rounds and future picks.

GB can leapfrog a QB or other positional needy team and hold them hostage for a haul. Similar to what the Colts did to the Chiefs in 2017 so Andy Reid could get Mahomes. The Colts completely rebuilt their O-Line and Defensive front 7.

Yeah, I think that would work great and definitely be enough to get the roster the upgrades it needs. I've been saying for awhile we have the picks and $ to get this thing headed in the right direction. They just have to pick the right guys. Getting the safety help in free agency would be a key for it to work.

An EDGE and a TE could be in play and could be a great idea, but I'm not 100% sold on the choices. I prefer Hockenson to Fant (as does Brugler, so it's weird that he gives us Fant), and I'm still sorting things out among the edge rushers. I think I prefer Ferrell.

Where is Parris Campbell??

The only 1st round pick in that picture plays QB... weird.

Greg Jennings 2nd round
Randall Cobb- 2nd round
Jordy Nelson- 2nd round
Jermichael Finley- 3rd round
James Jones- 3rd round

And add another 1st round pick to the OL with Bulaga after 2010.

I believe the allocation of picks to be much more favorable to keeping the beast fed then the last five years. If we had that same consistency the last 5 years I wouldn't be saying a peep cause guess what? WE WOULD BE WINNING! If you had it your way you would run this offense deeper into the ground then it already is. We are now forced to double down on offense because of years of neglecting it. What part of that do you not get?

This whole craziness and yearly obsessiveness to just keep drafting defense over and over is making me insane in the membrane.

Where is Parris Campbell??

I can pull lists up that have him going in first round and mocks as well. I have run draft simulators that pull him in the first too. I imagine after he runs 4.2-4.3 and tests out at combine he will be more prevelant on more boards.

 

[brandon2348]

Easily the middle.

I've said it before, but Andre Dillard is #good. Reminds me a little of Bakhtiari actually.

Whatever. Quit picking up my crumbs. I mentioned Dillard way before you even knew who the guy was.

The tantrums are starting early this year, I see. Should be a fun year!
