Packers 2022 NFL Draft Discussion

[young guns]

Is there a reason we should be worried about him falling if we pick him?

Ok Lord.  Seminole Edge rusher please.

I want Jermaine Johnson 

[Joseph Zarr]

I'm ready for anything here. And, I frankly will support the pick regardless. So many directions we can go. I have the pick. I will wait!

[PeaveyFury]

Holy cow. It's Quay Walker.

Well, in Gute we trust.

[Joseph Zarr]

OMG I LOVE IT and I am not sharing!

[Joseph Zarr]

DUDE, Quay Walker is a STUD

[pitchleague]

Wow

[Matt Breen]

Walker had been rising in mocks. I liked Lloyd best - but so be it. He’s our guy.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rumor was he was flying up draft boards. This is a 3 down LB'er. Vastly underrated. 

[CheezWizHed]

Joe Berry has pictures of someone...

[Joseph Zarr]

Jermaine Johnson is falling because of one thing:

Character

He rubbed people the wrong way it is being reported. Sounds like a Dallas Cowboys pick.

[PeaveyFury]

I'm surprised, but it's pretty ok.

[Joseph Zarr]

I am all aboard the Quay Walker train. And, more importantly, I am all aboard the Twitter meltdown.

Pickens or Watson at 28 if they are there?

[LouisEly]

Off by a round, but got one!

Don’t be surprised if it’s: Quay Walker, ILB, Georgia – Walker didn’t test as well as some expected, but he is instinctive with quick recognition and response and plays disciplined, team-oriented football. Perhaps his best calling card is his size (6’4”, 240) which lends to covering TEs and playing either inside or outside.

Packer defense has consistently struggled to stop the run and cover TE's in the passing game.  Walker is a solution to both problems and he's got some bonifides as an occasional edge rusher or blitzer.

 

[CheezWizHed]

I'm wondering if PIckens drops for the same reason - character.

I predicted a trade down at #28 and I'm going to stick with it. (Of course, I predicted trading up at #22).

Walker's RAS is super high, which is clearly a predictor for GB.  Walker's RAS is the 76th highest of all LB in the last 35 years. So that's pretty great.

AWESOME job baby. Love it. He's a stud. And that's great. It is NOT easy to pick for the Packers. LOL.

And he doesn't have a lot of snaps on the chassis.

What I was thinking is that Johnson, Karlaftis, and Ebiketie are all still there so there's a good chance one will still be there at #28 if they want edge.  Plus Drake Jackson, Boye Mafe, Cameron Thomas in the 2nd.

That being said, I'd be surprised if #28 isn't Pickens... unless he really rubbed some people the wrong way in his in-person visit.

I hope.  I'm just stunned we took an ILB in the first round.  I guess we got over our AJ Hawk woes?
