Have to include the UDAs which they are no longer getting the same value out of. Since you picked 2020 here is their OL in the 2021 season during which Bhaktiari (again, a 4th who became the best T in the league) did not play. They were decimated by injuries across the board and still ended up in the top 1/3 of the league. Nijman UDA Runyan 6th Myers 2nd Lucas Patrick UDA Billy Turner Modest FA Royce Newman 4th Compare that to our group: Jordan Morgan 1st Tom 4th Sean Rhyan 3rd Belton 2nd Banks Expensive FA They're a lot worse despite using more resources. Not good, but the Packers, not just the last 5 years, but for a looooong time, have had a widely admired ability to pick up great, not just good, OL from later rounds and the street. They are not doing that at the moment.

Right and they acquired a CB and DL already via other methods and have done nothing on what was a bad OL. The worst spot on which is their LT, arguably the most important guy on the line. They still needed another CB badly, no issues there. DL depth never hurt anyone so again, the pick is fine. BrewerFan has way, way more confidence in Morgan than anywhere else, I'll say that. This is a first round pick that hasn't played in his first 2 seasons, could not beat out a guy we let walk in FA for a one-year deal. His journey isn't over yet, but today he is a bad pick, bad player and we are relying on him to start. They have one backup OL who has played over 60 snaps. Real issue is that they have lost their historic ability to develop stellar offensive linemen from any round in the draft. and you are seeing the results. We will see what happens...their best CB of the last 15 years was a UDA...so, whatever.
-
And this is all assuming the starters won't miss 20 games among them, which seems to happen every year. CB was a glaring hole. I would have liked an OL with the second pick.
-
I don't have a big problem with either selection but they did address both positions with veterans already. The left side of that line is a huge question mark. I don't really care what Banks is getting paid if he plays like he did last year. Jordan Morgan lost his job to Walker. I am not sure why anyone would assume that someone picked today wouldn't be an upgrade to him just because he was a bad first round pick 2 years ago. He is playing one of the most important positions on the field.
-
Packers must really believe they don't have an OL problem. I hope they're right.
-
I don't follow college or the draft but you have to love a guy named Big Citrus.

Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins as new head coach
OldSchoolSnapper replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
I get the feeling Giannis has been inhaling his own supply for a bit too long now. Likely in large part due to being bored because of injuries and non competitive seasons. It feels like he is going to commit to be here and expect a hero's worshipping for it, when everybody is pretty sick of listening to him talk about it, and also aware that they can't really win anyway. I like the guy, but I'm just over it, and I've accepted our time in the sun has come to an end. -
Cisse isn't even 21 years old for another 3 months.
-
Aye, but it didn't really feel like that until the last 4-5 weeks of the season. Also not great, but that is the reality when you have a top 5 defensive player on your roster who's an elite pass rusher. That said, I don't feel overly optimistic about the Packers this year. Some of that is reality, some of it is conditioning to the glass ceiling they've established the last 5 years. They have bad OL and bad corners, not places you want to be bad in today's NFL. Then almost everywhere you think they're strong, they're dependent on rehab from major injuries. I don't really know what to expect. It's not delusion to think they're a contender if they hold together, but I can just as easily see a 2018 blow-it-up season coming.

Good hire but the least of their problems at the moment. And that's saying something because this was a major problem. -
2026 Misc MLB News Thread
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Frisbee Slider's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Devin Williams is mentally weak and I wouldn't want him in any role other than pitching the 6th inning sporadically for the Brewers. He is Jeremy Jeffress. He can succeed but only in the most hand-picked of circumstances. Everyone should have been able to tell that the Brewers success is organizational, not tied to Stearns. It's just comical to think that one single person could be most responsible for running an MLB franchise. It's not physically possible. Way too many moving parts. Not that the NFL is "easy" but baseball has a million layers to it. -
UW Hoops off season-----Recruiting & Transfer Portal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jim French Stepstool's topic in Other Sports
I may be misunderstanding this but not sure what a money manager is supposed to do when a kid can sign with Duke knowing Gatorade will offer him something much more lucrative than the school, that is simply not happening if he signs with Central Michigan. Wisconsin is a bit lucky in bball. The rosters are small enough that there's plenty of talent left to trickle down to them as 2nd or 3rd tier team, and still be competitive. You can't really say they're worse than before, outside of a few great runs. I just hate the turnover year to year. It's not fun. -
I feel certain they're going to take a WR with where the market is on WRs.

UW Hoops off season-----Recruiting & Transfer Portal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jim French Stepstool's topic in Other Sports
This is probably a broken record. But this crap has ruined the sport for me. Half the fun of college hoops was watching your guys develop for 4 years. Knowing that someone coming in as a freshman might play 1 minute per game and be the anchor 3 years later. UW is just playing the game they have to, I get that, but in the same way I never consider Russell Wilson a true Badger, Victory Onuetu isn't one either. Then watching all the guys who break out go bail for someone else. This is awful. It needs reform yesterday. -
Yelich to IL with Adductor strain
OldSchoolSnapper replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Every year, I kind of chuckle when everyone panics in April, May and into June. But this year is looking rough. There is no offense in this lineup now. We all knew Yelich would have an extended absence, but there is a whole lot going wrong at the moment. If it was just hitting, I wouldn't be at all concerned, but it's that everyone is hurt. There's no getting around that. -
Turner has value. He could not have been utilized worse this season. He is a system player 100% and we don't have any system, let alone a bad one. His use was completely puzzling at times.
-
He's gone. They sat him to prevent further injury and anyone using it to negotiate a weaker return this summer. They didn't move him at the deadline because they correctly, for once, assumed that there would be a larger pool of suitors this summer. There will be teams not truly contending at the moment that think he can get them there, versus the handful or so of teams that would have added him during the year. He's gone though. I am as happy about it as you can be. He's too good to watch waste away here. We don't have the assets or flexibility to make it work, I'd rather see him play the twilight of his career as a winner. And it's our only path forward. They need draft capital/infusion of youth to ever be worth watching again.
-
Don't worry, Bo Melton will be rostered for 5 more years.
-
The WR market is wild. I'm totally happy to get #153 and a future pick of any value for a WR that is the definition of "just a guy." $12.5 million for a guy whose yardage total has dipped each of his 3 seasons and lost PT to his peers. He's an OK WR, but still wild.
-
I think it's clear for a couple seasons now the Packers defensive strategy is to rush the QB and force turnovers. They didn't do the latter last year. That is a thing that's very luck-based, and they can't be worse than they were last year. I don't think they really care about the run defense. They'll make it as good as they can with what they have, but they're not going to go after assets that are known for it. They think their offense is good enough to win most games if they just aren't a sieve for opposing QBs. It seemed to be accurate last year until the very end when they just lost too many guys to survive. I am not too worried about DET. I think that goose is cooked, they had their shot and blew it. CHI is the king at the moment.
-
I don't get upset about stuff like this, but there are so many cool things you could do I just don't understand how duds like this happen. There are so many things in MKE you could weave into a jersey; Harley, the old whale painting, German or Native heritage, homage to festivals, County Stadium, the old Braves team, etc., whatever. Just spitballing, but Wisco is so lame.
-
I'm just not seeing how Wisco connects to the city.
-
I don't have spectrum nor any TV service. I will likely just pay the monthly thing when August rolls around. I don't watch enough of it to justify the service.
-
I've held off on Brewers.TV or whatever. Almost cracked today as I love the day games, but I'll probably wait in the hopes they offer a deal at the midway point or something.

Watson may not be better than Adams but he is a different type of WR that brings something to the table Adams did not and does not, and frankly no Packers WR really has this side of the 2000s with the exception of maybe Javon Walker. Maybe Nelson. He's a go up and get it guy. That's not really the prototype GB WR, which generally has been a route runner with good hands. Even the guys we've had who have been good deep threats tend to run themselves open, they're not what Watson can be. I love Watson. I hope they extend him again, I really do. There is a big gamble on his health, sure, but I would take it.
