Draft expectations or thoughts

[Moab]

With the Pack picking late in the 1st, 30th overall, I'm expecting them to trade down to get more pics in the top 100 to try to get multiple shots at guys that can play ILB and CB. I don't believe there is too much of a difference once you get past the top 12 to 15 players in this draft, so I'm guessing quantity will be his play this year...quantity in the top 100 picks.

TT hasnt traded down much lately. I think it will depend on how the run on WRs and DBs goes in the first round

 

[packfancjh]

It's too hard to predict what TT will do in this draft I'm just hoping he can get a decent prospect at ILB, CB, TE and maybe OLB. And please TT, don't listen do Daniel Jeremiah and draft Wes Saxton in the 2nd lol

 

[Trudem]

As long as we get Peters, Johnson or Kendricks, not in that order, in the first I'll be happy.

 

[GNG]

The Packers always seem to draft well. Maybe Jerry Jones should get advice from Ted Thompson.

 

[Tainthappening]

I actually do not expect to trade down, from what I have read, someone that should be there at CB, ILB or DL for Packers to draft.

This draft - like most of them - is hard to predict. Harder than usual because of the weak class (appears to be). The idiots being arrested on drugs... injuries... I'll predict Packers will go D... again... heavy o D. Sooner or later someone will be good like Matthews (when his thumb doesn't sideline him).

According to NFL Network the Pack is looking to trade out of the first round. Puts a little bit of a damper on the night if it happens

I was surprised we didn't take the NT from Texas. I trust Ted Thompson but I can say this pick has me scratching my head. Not saying it is a bad pick just thought there were other guys out there that fit GB's needs.

 

[GNG]

I thought Randall was a brilliant pick by Thompson and just shows why the Packers are always a contender. If Jerry had even an ounce of his knowledge maybe the Cowboys wouldn't have been so mediocre over the past 20 years.

 

[Trudem]

Randall is a good player but I agree. I wanted Brown or Goldman more but I trust TT to lead us in the right direction.

TT said the offers he received were low ball so he made the pick.

It pretty usual that he takes guys based on their evaluation and board, not the medias or fans. We'll find out soon enough if they got a contributor.

He has decent size(same height and more bulk than TWill) and is excellent in man to man coverage. He can play all over the field, just needs to work on his tackling a little. Good pick imo. I am thinking TT will have to trade up to get an ilb though. Not sure any of the top ones will last to 62

I dont want McKinney.

 

[packfancjh]

McKinney has great measureables but is slow to diagnose plays and slow in recovering if beat. Pass

 

[Trudem]

Kendricks with a trade up or hope Perrymen or Dawson falls to us

 

[packfancjh]

that's what I'm hoping

Cross your fingers for a repeat of last year when Clinton-Dix fell to us.

Interesting they traded up to pick Hundley. Probably thinking they can develop him and then trade later?

I like the Hundley pick, they need depth at qb and he seems to have a lot of natural talent. I think they took a wise chance on him in the fifth round. Interesting draft , not as I suspected but I have quite a bit of confidence in Ted Thompson.
