Washington / Mayer & Mingo would make the offense look a lot better. Not overwhelmed by the LVN selection (the bench reps at the Combine are at least a question mark), but pass rush is a need with Gary coming off his injury.

It's on page 6 of the thread; here's a direct link to the post.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/peter-skoronski-honors-grandfather-packers-165057709.html Skoronski's Grandfather played for Lombardi, for what it's worth. I would have zero qualms with the Packers drafting him if he falls to 13. I'm not a huge JSN fan myself. For a guy reported to not run a 4.4 40 (he did agility drills during the combine, but not the 40), I think he's at best a 2nd round guy who's being elevated by the not-great draft class at the position. His productivity has largely been a function of playing alongside Wilson and Olave in '22, and Harrison Jr. this year; he's the guy who gets open because teams try to take away the other guys. I don't think he's ever been the best WR on his own team, which makes it touch to see him as the top WR in the class. I was very high on Olave last year, having seen him play over the years....and I never got that same sense from JSN, despite them being on the same team. If there's a guy they like at 13, preferably an Edge or OT, I'm fine with them making the pick. My preference would be to trade down into the high 20s, accumulate additional picks in the 2nd/3rd/4th rounds, looking to fill holes in the roster (TE, Safety, WR depth, and OL / OLB if not addressed in R1).

Can we see the 12 people who "won" the pool?

Honestly, whether Aaron plays in 2024 will have more to do with how he likes playing for the Jets in 2023....which is honestly something we have no control over. The compensation is multiple high picks, which should increase the chances of filling multiple holes in the roster (TE, Safety, Edge, long-term need at OT). Zero cave-in by the Packers front office, which is nice. Would not be at all surprised if they used the extra 2nd as part of a deal to move up and get the TE they covet, particularly if "their guy" falls into the mid-to-late 20s. There's also something to be said about the finality. I will always be thankful to #12 for what he did in a Packers' uniform, but I did not have a high degree of confidence he could get the team back to a Super Bowl in the next few years.

Never forget that Florio's a Vikings fan.

https://www.si.com/college/2023/03/22/oregon-dana-altman-fan-attendance-nit-wisconsin “You see the commitment that Wisconsin makes with the cheerleaders, the band,” Altman said, per Jarrid Denney. “We make a commitment, don’t get me wrong. But you can just see how important it is to them. It’s important to me. We should have more people here. Alright? I mean, the guys played hard. 3,300 people…that’s not good enough. If it’s me, then get rid of me. If you need somebody else to be a promoter, to do something. But 3,300 people is embarrassing. I’m not in a very good mood, you can tell."

Weren't even one of the first four out. Just a disappointing season all-around.

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/nfl-rumors-raiders-pursue-jimmy-garoppolo-if-aaron-rodgers-quest-fails?cid=Yahoo&partner=ya4nbcs Hadn't seen a suggestion the Raiders were in on Rodgers prior to this, possibly because the ESPN story is behind their pay-wall. Maybe there's a bidding war we don't know about?

Per an e-mail I've received from the streamer, Women Talking has been added to Amazon Prime from now until Sunday.
-
Chris Chambers was on both teams as a Freshman at Wisconsin, but he didn't see the court much in Basketball. Tony Gonzalez played in the NCAA tournament for Cal, and had a pretty good career as a football player. I'm sure there are others.
-
…on the plus side, Chucky drove the lane late, and passed the ball! (Tendency breaker.). Fortunately he also made a big steal at the end of the game, and Essegian took most of the shots from the line late (which explains the percentage). An ugly win is still a win; now get another one this weekend!

I'm up to 6 of the 10 (missing Triangle, All Quiet, Tar, and Women Talking). All Quiet on the Western Front is on Netflix, so I know that I'll see that one before the ceremony; might have to break down and rent the others. I have a hard time not rooting for Everything Everywhere All at Once....which is such a non-Oscar-type film, I simultaneously have a hard time picturing it actually winning.
-
At least until a bankruptcy filing occurs, there is another streaming option to get Brewers games. I also assume the BK Court would look to operate the RSNs as a going concern (operating business) until they can be sold by the Court, rather than liquidating the assets....but I only practice in the bankruptcy courts on occasion (Disclaimer: I am not your attorney). What I do not know is how the contract between Bally & the Brewers (or any other team) would be affected in the event of the bankruptcy. If the bankruptcy itself constitutes a default under the contract, the Brewers could potentially opt out of the contract with New Buyer. -
I've already seen 3 of the Best Picture Nominees! 1. Everything Everywhere All at Once 2. Top Gun: Maverick ... 3. Elvis (I'm not sure whether the movie Tom Hanks thought he was in would've been better or worse than the one everyone else filmed.)

Three-way trade with A's, Braves; Brewers get William Contreras
bjkrautk replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Can't believe they flipped one of the prospects from the Hader deal into a 24-year old Catcher who has already played in an All-Star game...and is only ~14 months older than the prospect we gave up! -
Looking at the schedule, it seems like most of the non-conference season is going to be on actual Cable TV, and not shifted off to BTN+. Job well done, schedule maker!
-
Really hoping the transfer (Klesmit) and Freshman (Essgian) improve the outside shooting. Chucky shot it well before his injury in the tournament, and Jordan Davis had flashes, but I do hope they're more consistent from outside without Johnny manufacturing his own shot. Hearing about the scrimmage at least gives me some optimism for this year, despite the lowered expectations.

Article: What Should the Brewers do With Luis Urías?
bjkrautk replied to Kyle Ginsbach's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The ideal use for Urias may well be in a Bill Hall / super sub role, where he plays every day between 3b/2b/ss based on matchups. Before that could happen, though, the club would need to find a regular starter at 3b. Likewise, Urias' splits for this year make that difficult to accomplish....as he actually has a reverse split in 2022. While that makes him a decent platoon partner for Brosseau, it causes problems putting him anywhere else on the infield (but for Kolton Wong having even worse splits against lefties this year). -

They’re watching Sam Raimi movies, as there are directorial flourishes to how certain characters….end their fight scenes….which would not be out of place in the Evil Dead trilogy. The film is not gore-y, but it’s not like any of the other MCU films in that respect. As to the post-Thanos part of things - GETTING MORE SPOILERY HERE - the only part that’s really related to the snap is Wanda’s story. The Doctor’s romantic arc is certainly affected by his having been dusted for 5 years, but there’s a multiverse full of evidence as to how things work out between them. I’m exceedingly curious as to which direction the films go after this one, particularly the interplay between this movie & the Loki Disney+ series.

Really liking this draft! Get a safety & some special teams core guys yet today and figure out if they need another veteran WR.

I said GB needed to get in front of the Saints for Olave. Curious to see who the Lions traded up for.
