homer

Plenty of people would have been fine with the Packers reaching for a guy like Skyy Moore at 28. That's just a dumb way to draft. If you want to complain that they had capital and didn't move up that's a legit point to make but to just complain they didn't take a wide receiver at 22 or 28 is silly.

The AJ Brown trade and Washington's big reach for Dotson probably hosed any chance of GB getting a receiver.

Assuming the slide is due to off field stuff:

People talking about Walker having some helium weren't lying. He was shooting up the mocks the last few weeks.:

gonna be weird having an elite defense

honestly think they're looking to sign and or trade for a other veteran...or two

Cut Lancaster tomorrow

Chiefs take a corner.

oh buddy...

yeah lots of value on defense. Karlaftis would be killer

Dotson? He was supposed to be there at 28. Trade back.

Pack should trade up for Malik Willis

I feel like anything getting leaked at this point is getting leaked with a purpose.

I think I've posted this site before, but Grinding the Mocks takes a "wisdom of crowds" approach to forecasting the draft. They take every mock draft out there (I'm sure they vet them somehow so Cousin Bob's mock from Facebook is excluded) and find an expected draft position for each guy. I find it interesting...particularly the graphs which show how things change for players over time (e.g. post combine). https://grindingthemocks.shinyapps.io/Dashboard/

I will be neither surprised nor disappointed if they don't take a WR tonight.

Coming off several uneven performances the Brewers were looking for a “get right “ series with the Pittsburgh Pirates a team they’ve dominated historically at Miller Park, er, American Family Field to the tune of a 127- 70 (64.4%) record entering play on Monday. April 18 - 20 Pirates @ Brewers recap Game 1 Brewers 6 - Pirates 1 Box Score The Return of Christian Yelich Now this is more like it. After a roughly two-year hiatus, the Christian Yelich of old made an appearance at American Family Field and helped the Brewers take down the Pirates in game one of the three-game series. Yelich ripped a double and smacked a grand slam in what fans hope portends great things to come. Yelich’s grand salami in the fourth capped a five-run outburst. The offense didn’t do much after that, but it didn’t have to as Eric Lauer and the bullpen held off the Pirate bats. Mr. Thompson doesn’t know what’s about to hit him Lauer was sharp logging six innings, five strikeouts, and one walk. His only blemish was allowing a solo home run to Pirates second baseman Diego Castillo in the top of the fourth. Lauer seems to have found a bit more juice on his fastball as mentioned by Curt Hogg just prior to the season. He is now averaging over 94 mph on his four-seamer which is more than a mile and a half faster than last year. He touched 96 on his last pitch in the third. Lauer’s been on quite a run since mid-2021. The Brewers could have a devasting staff if he can keep it up. Jandel Gustave, Hoby Milner, and Jose Ureña each threw an inning to close things out for Milwaukee. Game 2 Brewers 5 – Pirates 2 Box Score Burnes Dominates This is the kind of performance we almost expect from Corbin Burnes each time he steps on the mound The Brewers took the reins off Corbin allowing him to throw 107 pitches in seven innings striking out 10 batters and walking none. He did give up two solo home runs which accounted for the entirety of the Pirate offense but all in all, it was vintage Corbin Burnes. The Brewers offense gave Burnes all the runs he would need in the second inning. After Andrew McCutchen drew a leadoff walk. Rowdy Velez jacked a 2 – 0 slider from Pirate starter JT Brubaker 424 feet into the second deck in right field. Kolton Wong followed that up with a two-run double after an error and walk allowed Lorenzo Cain and Victor Caratini on base. Off-season acquisition, Hunter Renfroe, finally got the monkey off his back with a 402-foot homer in the bottom of the seventh to end the scoring and give the Brewers relievers a three-run cushion. Devin Williams and Josh Hader both threw uneventful innings to earn a hold and save respectively. Game 3 Brewers 4 – Pirates 2 box score Woodruff Bounces Back, Crew Secures Sweep In the final game of the series, Brandon Woodruff continued the strong run of performances from Brewers starters. He allowed three baserunners – a single from Dan “Barrel Man” Vogelbach and two harmless walks – over six innings. Woody had the Bucs off balance all game long striking out nine and helping his own cause with a nifty bare-handed play in the top of the second. Rowdy Telez continued his fine start to the season by cranking his second homer in as many games putting the Brewers up 1 – 0 after two. The single run was all the Brewers could muster through six innings. In the seventh the Brewers led off with a Hunter Renfroe cue shot down the right-field line that went for a double. Omar Narvaez followed that up with a wounded duck to center and advanced to second on the throw putting men on second and third. Keston Hiura then jumped on a 3 – 1 four-seamer from Pirates reliever Miguel Yajure and smoked an opposite-field liner over the wall in right for his first home run of the year. After showing signs of life in spring, fans have been waiting for Keston to show up. His timing was impeccable. After giving up two singles to start the eight, Brent Suter was able to get two outs before moving aside for Devin Williams. Williams has been a bit shaky, to say the least, this year. He walked the always dangerous Bryan Reynolds to load the bases before giving up a two-run single to Ke’Bryan Hayes. He got out of the inning with no further damage by striking out Yoski Tsutsugo looking on a gnarly 83 mph changeup. Hopefully, Williams can find the zone with that changeup going forward. Josh Hader came on in the ninth to earn his second save of the series and finish off the sweep. Hader already has six saves on the young season. Up Next Pitching, defense, and power were all on display for the Brewers as they swept Pittsburgh. Winners of four straight, the Crew look to keep it going in a three-game set at Philadelphia that kicks off on Friday. View full article

I have a hunch they are going to try and trade up in the 1st. If not, I hope they trade down from 28 at least. From what I've read the difference this year from #15 to #60 is negligible.

Biloxi is gonna be loads of fun to watch this year.

Not sure why this bothers you.

Is it still a smokescreen if they do it all the time? They met with Jordan Love pre-draft. https://www.nfl.com/news/saints-packers-virtually-visiting-with-qb-jordan-love-0ap3000001108057 They didn't meet with Savage or Alexander. I don't know about Stokes. The truth is no one knows anything.

Grinding the Mocks has his expected draft position at 33.7 so anywhere from 27 - 40 makes sense.

I never thought the Daniels guys would ever graduate from kooky DIY visual effects music videos to (potentially) Oscar nominated movies. Good on them.

I get the feeling these are the link reports Mass always wanted but did not have the technology to create. ?
