I smile from ear to ear when I hear those boos raining down from Lions fans. Can't wait for next year.

Packers fans really need to not react to Lions picks at next year's draft, show them they just don't matter to us. Oh, and absolutely boo the bejezus out of the Bears and Vikings when they pick.

There's always that one guy the whole fan base randomly obsesses over and it was Dejean this year. 

Well....yeah, but to be fair, it would have been Mitchell if anyone thought he'd be there at close to 25. 

And Cooper is a guy from Iowa who we see, there's the novelty of him being a white CB...that HAS to play into it for some people. 

But he's just a stud. He slipped, he's in a great spot and we got our guy. I'm over it now.

 

I am not loving the last few picks of this draft, but I loved the first 4.

If we could all went "awww," when they draft someone...like you would when you see someone's baby and you have to fawn over it(even if you have to fake it)...that'd be even better.

 

Like, "aww, that's cute! The Lions with another CB! You guys keep trynig little bud!"

Anyone still holding out any hope for a Marcus Lattimore trade? Gute has openly talked about trading for a veteran players if it made sense. Lattimore's cap hit isn't too bad. He does have the ~14M option bonus like Rodgers, but we'd still be getting him for cheap. 

NOLA is looking to move off his cap hit and...that team has become one of the dumbest in the NFL IMO. They're not a competitor, but they're still blowing up their cap year over year.

Ooof...this Panthers pick from Germany is...BRUTAL. 

Terrible link and trying to sign some German song or...something?

I'm going to predict a Michael Pratt pick in the 5th if he lasts that long

[Joseph Zarr]

Another trade up. Wild. We are on the clock.

Not a bad idea at all. I mean...I don't really know anything about him, I kinda zeroed in on Milton, but Prattsounds like he's got really nice tools.

They need to find a QB to keep Clement interested! Keep that man from enjoying his retirement PLEASE!

So does this mean Tom is not moving to Center?  
 

Although it looks like he’s played a lot of Guard and some Tackle.  So at worst your primary IL backip

C/G Jacob Monk from Duke:

Trust the Packers Day 3 Lineman experience.

You have very strange faith in whatever you think is a definitive "ranking"....Especially when it gets to 100+ picks in.  I know you would rather have Jaden Hicks or TJ Tampa, but if you suggested that to GB's staff do you think they are unaware those guys exist? Perhaps you should tell them about the rankings!

Have them invite me to their room and I'll be sure to instill an opinion or more.

I never suggested Tampa or Hicks. I questioned moving up 11 spots for a MSM ranking 6th rd player. In the 4th rd.  Did they do it again with Monk? At least he's ranked by them around there.

I don't think you can read too much into picks at this point OTHER than they did not feel good about Royce Newman being your #2/3 backup OG.

169-...This where they get Boyd the DT? 

Would prefer they go back to the OL well with Mahogany or, my draft crush Bell from FSU. The 6'7 Johnny Wilson could also be a really interesting player. You'd have to carry 6 WR as I'd think Melton proved himself.

And Jerry Rice's kid could be a nice pick. Seems like he's a really good athlete and like MHJ, his dad was a pretty solid WR!

Wow a triple Safety dip. Oladapo S Oregon State. I know the Packers met with him - maybe had him in for a visit?

Maybe Gute wasn't looking to draft DB.

I was obviously wrong.

[BrewerFan]

LOVE this pick! I really did NOT think they'd go back to Safety...but I think he could be a WLB in the NFL....at worst a box safety and a monster on STs.

When Bulaga made the pick and thanked the fans for the warm welcome, I wish he would have said we will return the favor next year :)

One of them should pan out.

[Strike4]

I actually like Oladapo but (and I can’t believe I’m going to say this) how many Safeties can you roster?

 

That said, he sounds like more of a box safety so bring another skill set to the table.

[patrickgpe]

The Monk pick is getting trashed, but he is a classic ol pick for gutey

Bleacher report had him 35th overall

I would think they are hoping one will stand out above the rest  that can compliment McKinney.

I think this is also a sign they plan on playing a lot of 3 safety looks ala Dom Capers with how he used Woodson later on.

That and with the new kickoff rule, a KR is more important, and physical coverage guys are important. Hopper, Oladapo, Williams should all be able to fill in there and cover kickoffs.
