    I will say that there are a lot of players in the 40 range that seem like Packer targets: Edge: Lawrence, Young DT: Hunter, Miller, Banks CB: Cisse But then again... listening to a GM talk before the draft seems kind of pointless. 😂 If one of those don't fall, I'm hoping for a trade back to grab Orange and then build depth in the mid rounds at CB and OL.

    I figured we could use a new thread to discuss the Packers' picks and other interesting happenings. Got any predictions? Any favorite players? I suspect that the 2nd round pick (if we stay there) won't be a DT or CB that everyone is hoping for (like my hope of getting DT Christian Miller). I'll predict an EDGE like Dani Dennis-Sutton or Gabe Jacas Later in the draft, I'll guess we add Jordan van den Berg, Trey Zuhn III, and Jaden Dugger. All three seem like Packer stereotypical picks.

    I think this conversation might heat up quickly in the second half of the season if Ortiz can't approach a 700 OPS and Made is hitting well at AA. But like BF said... probably not without a Pratt/Chourio extension. If Made follows in Chourio's footsteps that would come this fall (in age and development stage). Perhaps if signing a long-term contract means Made comes up in Aug/Sept, it will be the carrot he needs?

    I think you could say this was a stupid trade for Atlanta too. They traded away the better catcher plus 4 other players (though it didn't look like much was there). Murphy had 7.7 WAR vs Contreras' 12.6 in the last three years. Murphy is three years older, and more expensive. For Oakland, this was a complete disaster. Only one player of the five they received remains with the club and he is struggling in the minors (Royber Salinas). Kyle Muller, Manny Pina, Esteury Ruiz, and Freddy Tarnok all played MLB games for Oakland for a sum total of -1.1 WAR. Seriously, Rachel Phelps would be proud!

    Pena also doesn't strike me as the type of trade the Brewers make either - paying for current production. When trading for a veteran, they typically look for someone that isn't producing - blocked, struggling - where they can unlock the person's potential - Adames and Vaughn are examples. Or you are trading for an average producing player (2 WAR) to fill a short term gap - Eduardo Escobar, Renfroe, Contreras would be the counter example... but that trade was so silly-stupid on both the Braves and the As, I count that more as highway robbery instead of a "typical" trade.

    I kind of hope that there is a list of 3-4 guys the Packers are targeting for #52 and if they don't make it... trade back. Pick up Orange and another 4th/5th.

    Kyron Jones is a much less interesting QB visit than I expected.... Why keep this a "secret"? Packers hosted Virginia Tech QB Kyron Drones on official pre-draft visit

    It seems natural to want #52 at #52, right?

    Banks improved as the year went on. Historically, he is an average starting G. His main problem is that we paid him to be more and he gets injured often. Belton is going to be good. He was drafted with the label of "needing technique work" and by the end of the year, he was a monster in the run game (and decent in pass). I think he will be a break-out player this year. Morgan will surprise a lot of people this year I think. He certainly played better at T then he ever did at G. Put that on the coaches instead of Morgan. A healthy Morgan-Banks-Rhyan-Belton-Tom will be a very good OL. I imagine Jacobs running to the right side a LOT.

    Yeah, I know this isn't you doing the "scouting". I just poke a little fun at the "I can't believe they drafted him 10 picks over the consensus board! What a waste! Trade down and get him then!" sillyness.
  12. CheezWizHed
    Do you ever go back post-draft and compare what actually happened to your board? And if you see big discrepancies, do you blame the drafter or your board? 😉
  13. CheezWizHed
    I like to think that the Brewer's broke him in the playoffs. 😏

    I meant required 2-year contracts. They had a very high bar (sitting out one year) to transfer and now it is wide open (even switching in the same year after giving a commitment). Just balancing between the two for a bit more stability.

    A few thoughts on what I expect from the draft: I don't expect them taking a 2-down DT high in the draft. Banks or Miller - grab and go. Maybe Orange in the third round if they think they can squeeze a bit more pass rush juice out of him (sorry, I had to...). Otherwise, JVDB later in the draft and a clogging DT in the 7th/UFDA. If a few key DTs/DEs are gone in the 2nd, I wouldn't hate trading back. Double dip on CBs in rounds 3-5. Double dip on OL, but probably later rounds of the draft (4+). The QB mystery has me curious. I was leaning towards Taylen Green who has a very boom/bust profile due to his athletic freakishness. Thus, I could see his draft slot be very volatile - leading the Packers to be hush-hush about meeting with him. But I also wonder if we could be shocked with very high pick on Beck or Allar...

    I only have one ask to change NIL: 2 year contracts. If you commit to a team, you are there for 2 years unless the coach leaves. A hybrid between the previous and current systems.

    Does this mean we won the offseason? We've claimed the only Victory to be had!

    I'm assuming he is saying the comp picks are pretty much a wash, so it is one year of Burnes (3.9 WAR) for multiple years of Ortiz (3.3 WAR in 2+ years) and Hall (0.8 WAR in 2+ years). Noting that I'd prefer to have a player with over 3 WAR than multiple players earning a low WAR rate/year. The second is easier to find.
  19. CheezWizHed
    Except for his MLB leading OBP...
  20. CheezWizHed
    Blake Burke. For the trade, We only lost one year of Burnes (3.9 WAR), so last year and this year doesn't matter. Of course, we could've probably kept Burnes, let him go in FA and still got Burke for the comp pick.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Trent looks like David or Mario?
  22. CheezWizHed
    Am I the only one who sees this when Hamilton comes up?
  23. CheezWizHed
    I'm 50/50 on drafting a QB. While I don't think we have anyone that makes me feel comfortable back there... I could easily see them skip it in the draft (given the lack of picks) and go after a vet FA or another TC trade (using a pick from 2027 where they have several late round picks). It isn't like a 5-7th round QB is ready to help you out in 2026 anyway.
  24. CheezWizHed
    Wow, 2 starters and 7 backups. woof.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Confusing... Both teams had "Ws" on their hats so it was hard to tell who to root for...
