busy day for GB today... 

Most definitely. I would think (?) given their absurd quantity of picks they might be working phones to get back into this round for two stabs?

[Joseph Zarr]

Packers are now on the clock in 5 picks, count 'em, 5 picks. I am preparing to overreact in every way imaginable.

[Joseph Zarr]

Patriots trade up to start a run on kickers 😅

[Joseph Zarr]

I really really don't understand how an NFL team in 2023 thinks it's a good idea to trade up for a college kicker. There literally is zero correlation from college performance to the professional game. Just don't do it. Yuck.

[CheeseheadInQC]

I see we have reached the Bill Belichick doesn’t have any other prospects he likes so he just starts taking random special teamers portion of the draft.

Made sure to beat GB on the pick

Sarcasm, yes but given our lack of kickers...I did have a thought of "Thank you, Bill. We'll take the kicker that falls to us, Mister!"😂

[Joseph Zarr]

Packers are on the clock. Let's GO!

[Joseph Zarr]

DL Colby Wooden. Skilled guy. Violent disengagement with those hands. He can contribute right away as a D-Line rotational player. They'll list him as an Edge. To me, this is a hands down D-Line depth piece.

[Strike4]

Not a bad pick and an area of need but was really expecting Safety.  
 

Wonder if they are going to trade up yet - Do the even have cap space for 13 rookies?q

[CheeseheadInQC]

I wonder if given the number of picks if the Packers take a 6th or 7th round flier on one of the small school linemen like Witt or Fisher

[brewcrewdue80]

Well, not sure for this choice.  Van Ness and Wyatt, you've got a bigger need with your next pick 32 away.  Sure you can trade up but it takes a team willing to trade down such an amount of picks.  Think you'll see 16+ selections go by before you can begin the trading up process.  Waiting on Safety, hope they aren't drafted in the mean time.

Pack's next 3 selections, 159, 169, 179  lol.

They absolutely need Interior disruptor depth. I love the pick. He's a versatile heady football player with violent hands. He had a 9.27 RAS for a DT. This is a D-Line depth piece. You can never have enough depth there and, I'll go a step further: He's better today than Dean Lowry. (I don't know if that means anything but take that Dean!)

[homer]

don't like that Roschon Johnson pick for the Bears (as in, I think it's a good pick for them)

[CheeseheadInQC]

Lots of linemen coming off the board in the fourth 

[Strike4]

 

Lion are trading Swift to the Eagles.

 

Eagles are getting better and better

[homer]

yeah Eagles are killing it this week

WOW. Man, the Eagles are clearly the cream of the crop in the NFC. The Cowboys must be weeping.😅

[Joseph Zarr]

Goodness I continue to love the Steelers draft. Nick Herbig is such a Steeler. Happy for him.

[homer]

Two UW guys to the Steelers. Joins the two they already had. They like UW defenders I guess. 

[Joseph Zarr]

I am sitting here a bit incredulous that Gutey and his staff really might hodl and use all these picks. That is wild. It would validate what he said last night, tho, in that they love competition in their roster. With a super young team, it might be just what they're after.

[Joseph Zarr]

I don't know if I can remember a draft that has this amount of trade movement during the 3rd day of draft. The Packers 159th pick has moved four times already (including their acquisition). That seems bananas.

[brewcrewdue80]

We've reached the point on Johnson's slide to wonder if he too has an injury affecting him. They said he had an eye infection during the senior bowl period. Hope it didn't affect his vision in a permanent way.

[Joseph Zarr]

Abanikanda in the 5th round feels like the Jets best pick in their draft. He doesn't turn 21 until October. That's a ball of clay to develop in their backfield. 

[homer]

well there's your third QB
