2019 Green Bay Packers draft preview and predictions

[Matt Breen]

I was hoping the Broncos would pick Lock - that way the Packers aren't tempted to pick him at #30.

[Matt Breen]

I want AJ Brown at #30.

 

Some good OL are still available as well.

[bjkrautk]

Pack just traded into Pick 21

[Fear The Chorizo]

looking for GB to bounce back up somewhere over the next couple picks with a trade here

 

Edit: and as I type this....BINGO

[brewcrewdue80]

I just put a NFC Central grade out in 1st round.

 

Lions:A

Vikings:B+

Bears: C

Packers: D

 

That's pretty pessimistic considering the 1st round isn't even 2/3 over yet - I'll give you props for being punctual

 

Wait was I not in an IGT?

[OnTheBlack]

I find it hilarious the Vikings draft a center in round one less than two years removed from hearing nothing but glowing praise for Pat Elflein as being their longterm answer at that position as recently as this past fall up here.

 

The Vikes' O-line continues to be a mess - this guy might help solve some of their issues, but it doesn't take away from the fact the line has been their bugaboo for quite some time.

 

 

 

I think he could easily move over to guard and be a pretty damn good player there. That was a really good value pick, but they still don't have tackles.

I didn't think that was ever going to happen, but I was hoping they'd jump up and take Fant.

[OnTheBlack]

This has to be Taylor, right?

[bjkrautk]

Taylor's still on the board...isn't he?

[FVBrewerFan]

Arent the "best" CB and S still out there?

[xisxisxis]

Running Back probably...

[Matt Breen]

Did we just trade up to take Darnell Savage?

[brewcrewdue80]

Yay a 5'10 Safety. Help that Defense every 1st round this decade. Rodgers should just retire for fear of health.

[HarveysWBs]

This D had better be pushing top-5, because these investments are simply huge.

[Matt Breen]

Savage was - at best - a 2nd round type selection on most mocks. I think I saw him in the 3rd round in some.

 

Wow.

[bjkrautk]

Arent the "best" CB and S still out there?

 

Gary and Savage weren't exactly the names I had been hoping for, but they're Packers now.

I don't mind giving up a pair of 4th rounders to move up...just not sure you had to move up that far.

[OnTheBlack]

This has to be Taylor, right?

 

 

Meh, this seems like another reach. I've seen this guy compared to Bob Sanders, but a bigger and more athletic guy, but this seems like another reach.

 

And they likely gave up their 2nd round pick to move up, right?

[wildcat83]

Any word on what they gave up?

[xisxisxis]

my god what a *bleep*

[patrickgpe]

I would have drafted Wilkins. I don’t hate the pick, but his lack of production scares me. Most of the players I targeted were gone, so I would have preferred to trade down. Hopefully Pettine can light a fire under his read end.

If we’re going on the record, I would have taken Jawaan Taylor.

I thought that’s who they were moving up to take for the record.

[patrickgpe]

hopefully it’s just their second and 30.

[OnTheBlack]

Ok, so they drafted two guys that nobody on here guessed. Pretty much par for the course. I like Savage...I like his 4.36 speed and coverage ability, but I feel like they could have just stayed where they were and got the same players.

Seems really a stretch to move up for him -- I guess the club loved him and knew someone else would take him.

 

But let's be honest - hardly anyone mocked Savage this high - or even in the 1st round. Seems like a reach.

 

I'm disappointed because I think we had better guys available. I'm good with a safety - but not this high.

 

I guess the team loved him.

[CheezWizHed]

They gave up both 4th round picks. How will we get any more OL without a 4th round pick???

That was my assumption. That or they were really doubling down on pass rushers and they wanted Sweat.

 

Two 4ths for the right to move up and take Savage...meh.
