  1. The team chemistry is a joke. Team needs a full breakdown on nearly all the offensive players. Renfroe, Wong, Adames, Urias, whomever is a catcher still with the team(all of them), Tellez, Peterson, Taylor, and Davis. Mix in Lauer and Woodruff. Burnes, Peralta, Ashby, Houser are a good enough rotation to build around. All these trade-aways youre looking for a 3b, 1b, C, 2b/SS and some pitching to dream on. The lack of (all the guys I listed above on offense trading away) multiple players getting hot building off one another tells me there's no vibe going on. Thought Adames was supposed to be this great clubhouse guy but where is it this season? He's been below average. Urias clearly isn't the future. Tellez I'd say you're selling high. Just in need of changing the scenery of the lineup. Adding Turang, Frelick, Mitchell, Wiemer and soon Chourio I hope becomes a start. Youll have Yelich(not movable) Hiura and Brosseau(someone to play 3b) still around for time being. Just want the lineup to not feel hopeless after these past few seasons. Men on base 0 outs and you know you're about to see 2 strikeouts and a groundout/flyout.
  2. Pretty clear on the videos Yelich's swing speed is vastly faster than the Yelich of today. That would tie in more to back issues disallowing him to swing as fast. I've believed it was fear on hurting his knee with swinging timidly, but now it's clearly the back nearing 3years later. If he were a golfer this is like a prime PGA player turned senior the next years. Bat speed must be multiple miles per hour slower. The hard exit velocity is just how well his swing plane and barrel of the ball is.

  4. On a Ruiz top 100 prospect thought. The read on him is-was he was poor at 2b with heavy hands(guessing that would mean dropped balls and slow throwing action?) They moved him to OF. Breakout year with bat. Does he grade out defensively? Arm strength? If heavy hands meant dropped balls...well is that continuing in OF? Does he possess power mold for the position he'll play? Since he's not younger his rise is sorta past the stage you want to gleam about him for lists. He should be added to ML games soon and that addition may not even last til next list. Just say he's close but you'd rather list so and so since they were recently drafted.
  5. Must have *just* crossed 5yrs. Lamet was optioned by SD on 7/11. Then back for two games vs. Twins before the trade. Boy. FO looks complete incompetent if they missed the boat that they couldn't option Lamet if they seriously intended to keep him as a piece in the trade. The luxury tax would have been 20pct for every $1 SD went over. The return for taking Lamet contract should have included a lottery prospect alone. We also took Rogers and his contract off SDs hands. Why wouldn't you acquire another RP of SDs vs an underachieving high priced rental? Because you were being fleeced. To the idea that this return may have been the best offered? There was over 24hrs left to see offers come in before taking this fleecing. Plenty of time to certainly to you know learn if Lamet could be optioned.
  6. Brewers could do this easy. Freddy Peralta, Chourio, and add from there if even needed. (Small+Turang) Team needs to cash in 1 of their bellwinning SPs for a bellwinning bat. Burnes, Woodruff, Lauer, Houser, Ashby still packs a punch. And Soto to bat 3rd for Milw is the bat that would put fear in opposing pitchers this team doesn't possess.

  8. Great combo picks. Teams are going to turn over the ball with Clark-Wyatt wreaking havoc up the middle and Walker or Gary coming around the edges and the QB just tosses the ball begging please stop hitting me! Here take it.
  9. Solid. I love good LBs. We lost in the playoffs due to great LBs creating pressure and wrecking the short passes.
  10. Glad Pitt got their Pitt QB. Hope he makes a Pro Bowl career.
  11. Dig at GB here. Now Vikes with 32 and 34. Lions with the Vikes 2nd rd. Going to see them draft obvious GB targets. Wonder when the Bears jump in.
  12. Wilson selected. There can't be another player worth trading up for left os there?
  13. Surprised Carolina didn't find a trade down. Happy London is gone. No trades yet!
  14. I'm thinking part of that deals with the fact TE class has about as much a chance to see 1 selected by end of round 2 as it would more than. Ferguson is like 5-7? on top 10 ranks and he's a 5th rd to undrafted potential. I looked again at draft pick trade values,, and adding 22 with 28 somehow climbs up to #7. Or even 6. 6 and Carolina is near lock for trading down. Garrett Wilson becomes the obvious move up for GB to select him ahead of any of the following picks likely selecting Wilson immediately after 6. Feels odd because in 2019 I thought with 12 and 30 we couldn't move up beyond 7 or 8. The trade for Waller idea likely is a draft day trade depending if a trade up like that happens, or a player falls to say 17 who is on GBs top 10 draft board. George Pickens is growing on me as draft crush. Won't lie but his stature and some movements remind me of watching Adams. Only Pickens is taller and more physical to impact run game blocking. There is abundant video on YouTube including all targeted plays he had in 2019&2020. Derrick Stingley picked off a bad decision on one target but Pickens went on to 3 solid catches vs Stingley the following 3 targets. Fromm was QB his freshman in 19 and clearly better than the 2020 QB that affected Pickens production. He recovered most of 2021 from ACL injury. So that is why he's not placed among the top 5 in this class. Somewhere there's a comment from a coach about how much he wants to and willing to put in added practice. I visualizing Adams 2seasons from now.
  15. As mentioned before. These past 2 or 3 days the mocks are all over the place with decisions to not keep the same previous selections or just because Travon Walker goes 1st. I remember 1 respected guy(Peter Schrager) in these his 2nd mock contained only 7 of the same picks he made previously from 1st mock. Thinking a lot of the older mocks will have better projection than newer sans trades as a reason to pick differently. Carolina has the 6th selection and not another until like 200. They need a QB but also need picks. Quite a good amount of mocks must have been informed of 2002 being last GB WR selected in 1st rd and are sticking that as not selecting a WR anymore in first. My guess at the moment is gutey moves up in first rd to select a WR(wrong 1 clearly) to cop out with hadnt he made the move to move up that wr was being selected. Ala Savage and Love.
  16. Kinda ran in to what may be keeping Pickens from a 1st rd grade. Not only the ACL recovery and the game experience he lost but he has some questions about mental status. 1 thing came up is not giving 100pct effort on plays. He also had a game where while on the sidelines he used the water bottle he had in his hands and squirted a Ten Volunteer(QB) with it when that player ran out of bounds on his sideline. Cost a 15yd penalty which resulted in a Td. I think a 3rd was a scuffle or shoving with an opponent. So just some immature things that teams just won't waste a 1st rd on. Oh and he has something like 8 1/2-3/4 inch hands that creates some drop concerns. I've seen some suggestions that GBs mold for WR in drafts had height and or weight tendacies that would check some guys off [I think Olave weight? being 1) and leaving that trio of Pickens, Watson, and Pierce fitting this draft mold. That brings that idea of mine to trade with Seattle for 40/41 using 1 of the 1sts and 2nds to do so. Where the 2nd rd grades of the 3 and picking 2 would settle more to that projection vs a reach. Burks seems best to go from day 1. I'd consider Pierce 2nd. Pickens 3rd. Watson while the freak, has the largest jump to make in gamespeed. If putting an insert player comp of Packer past Bigger heavier Cobb-Nelson-Adams-MVS.
  17. I'd keep an eye out on this name: Marcus Jones, CB, Houston Height: 5-8. Weight: 185. Arm: 28.88. Hand: 8.88. Projected 40 Time: 4.50. Projected Round (2022): 3-5 So Jones reads as the interest by teams due to his punt and kickoff return prowess. Size wise at CB WalterFootball classifies him as strictly a Slot WR cover. What I'm reading here is check, check, and check what Green Bay could use in a CB, Punt returner, and kickoff returner. With the fact that he wouldn't be your #1-3 guy at CB leaves so much less concern on putting him back to receive punts or kicks. And being a CB I'd imagine he'd work on the coverage units there as well to boost ST there. Credit here to watching a Lion fan mock 3 rounds with GB trading 22 and 59 to acquire 16 and early 3rd to take Jermaine Johnson. Selecting George Pickens at 28. TE Dulcich at 53. It was here when 3rd round came around he drafted another a WR(no way with a TE do we go triple on receiving) that the next pick was Jones and he commented about the Punt/KO return skills that will be coveted by teams. Oh to round it off we got what seems to be everyone's later OT Abraham Lucas. Who just seems far too popular to be around where people draft him late 3rd or in the 4th rounds. Since the guy is essentially on an island it seems for OL by the time mid to late 2nd round selections happen. Like the well of OL dried up suddenly.
  18. That's sort of what I mean with my last post. People not wanting to mock Kyle Hamilton early because they've done that and want some different content. Drake London has started becoming the WR1A with Wilson looking at mocks and in the top 6-8! It's like refusing to go with best likely drafted and taking the #1 on the board for the teams 2nd need vs their highest need with a more likely higher up the board overall player. Seen Malik Willis not even drafted in 1st round while the other 3 QBs that make up the consensus top 4 were. Crystal Lava (seriously Closed Captioned every time) is more and more available in mocks for GB. (London effect) Seen Watson going to the Jets at 4 one time. Will say Wilson looks like a skinny HS kid on tape. Beyond slender! I'd question withstanding the hits forthcoming if the #1WR without bulking up some. Thinking there needs to be some thought on Pickens since he went up against Stokes. The scouting would certainly have some notes taken down considering they took Stokes in 1st round.
  19. Watching mocks lately and something became apparent. People who are streaming mocks within their own group are saying things multiple times of "I went with so and so the last time we did this. I want to do something different this time" And suddenly a guy falls beyond 10 or in to the 20s while you hear the next or 2nd to select say that ruined their selection and they wouldn't go for that guy who should have been selected due to not having the need. Opens up some perspective on mocks 3.0 and beyond being more wrong most likely than the first 2 mocks because the decision to not select who they would/should. Anyway GB is sitting in a great position to select the dropping player with 22 for say 10-16 expected and 28 for 15-21 expected falling. Then trading up in 2nd to take a 1st rd talent that is falling towards 40. So many multiples at the positions of need in the top 50 ranking. It'd be a blunder to not walk away with a B+ or higher grade when draft is done.
  20. With the Watkins signing the team won't be handcuffed on not selecting a shorter stature Below 6ft WR in the draft. So if the WRs they wanted are selected you maybe get that #2-slot who can add to special teams returns. It looks like half the WRs in this draft are below 6feet and 5 of top typical 7 are over 6feet where all 5 may be picked before GB has their chance..
  21. Ok So I watched some breakdowns on Alec Pierce, and couple things became apparent. 1 Pierce has possession WR written all over him by how well he commits to making the catch. 2. As a result of his tenacity to ensure he catches the ball, he is often falling to the ground vs making any Yac. Ridder the QB underthrew Pierce very often though as Pierce outran Ridder's arm(Something alarming to me that whoever drafts Ridder will find themselves looking for a new QB in 4years) The underthrows left the defenders right on top of Pierce so the Yac skills just may need a better thrower to his speed. Pierce wins at completing the 50-50 jump balls with his size and hands and that tenacity he must catch the ball. I see now why he's not in the 1st round discussion because he won't be breaking plays and taking it to the house making defenders miss tackles. He showed an ability to separate from the CB after his first move and has the speed to make the catches 20+yards downfield. Tenacity to make the catch, but not the tenacity to break it open and in to the end zone. Unlike George PIckens. Fun video watching what limited amount there was. Eric Stokes teammate 2years ago and Pickens for as well as Stokes is showed the ability to beat Stokes....not every time in the few plays shown, but you could see on Stokes face he wasn't invincible vs Pickens. Pickens is the complete opposite of Pierce after he makes the catch. He wants to get to the endzone with the ball in his hands. Highlights showed he was a playmaker and he has the speed 4.4 40(Pierce 4.41) and moves to expect him to do so. Definitely at the next level he will score more yac TDs than Burks or Pierce. The ability to create and win at line of scrimmage with such a little history I couldn't infer a determination on. He is shifty and agile and has attitude on making plays. Notch another WR with Burks/Watson/Pierce to be just fine with when GB selects them.
  22. Think we are overreacting on the age thing. Majority of these young men were coveted and given scholarships to play football in college as a senior in HS before they graduated. General 2-4years before turning pro to enter the draft means they are 21/22. 2020 happened though so you may have a player 1 year older because the extra year of eligibility. So the rarity is being 23 and older to even be drafted, much less your team then actually selecting such a player. There may be just a handful typically where they are 23 or older and actually drafted each year. As to Raimann himself, hes at a position where I see no reason to look that route and address in the 1st round. He drops(and realistically happening) at 53 or 59 if you don't see talent exceeding what he can bring, go ahead pull the trigger. I think it's becoming apparent Williams with his ACL is still going to be thought of as the #1 WR in this draft. Wilson #2 and after that it seems like a tier of 6-8 names who anybody would clamor is 3rd best. I seen something on London in regards to some sorta OPS number that has predicted the poor results of certain WRs drafted with high regard. Reagor was in that list. Yet at the same time I've seen a few mocks he's going in top 12 1st even WR off the board. Generally I see mostly Burks being there at 22 to select though not always mocked to be the pick by GB. Olave has gotten the choice over Burks if he was available. Yet for whatever reason, Sky Moore seems to be the name you wouldn't expect over Burks to end up being the mocked pick. I can't see GB using a 1st rd choice on a short WR when Amari Rodgers is 5'9" Jones is 5-9 Hill is 5-10 Dillon is 6 even. Lazard at 6'5" But we're talking Lazard as your #3 WR. You just can't line up another sub 6foot WR option for Rodgers to work with as #1 or 2 WR. Dotson is another one below 6 feet. You gotta believe any WR 6feet and below is being lowered on GB's big board til the 3rd rounds and later. I think you include Olave in that to small a build to insert as 1 or 2 from day 1. Burks has to be the WR you see GB taking with Watson or Pierce as #2. I mean there is London and that OPS stat scares me away who could be tied at 1 with Burks. Since the team has been a high RAS seeker I figure the OPS slight would keep London off GB's radar.
  23. Seen a little bit on mocks and it gave me this insight on a trade or twice in the 1st round. Seems a few believe KC will move up to draft a new WR1. ahead of GB at 21 or a few picks higher. I've also seen Seattle mocked the QB from Ole Miss Matt Corral. McShay suggested with the #40 pick. You could gain draft capitol with 2 stones here. KC has 29 and 30. GB very much can just offer KC their 22 increasing the likelihood they get their WR for KC's 30th pick. at 28 you are ahead of KC's 2nd pick and get the next option or 2 at WR with it. Now having heard about Seattle looking at what is essentially the 4th QB on the board Corral, There's the 5th year rookie option gained by selecting him in the 1st. Detroit is apparently in on the 3rd QB which is Desmond Ritter from Cincy. at #32 But who knows maybe the two like the same QB or Det is just happy to let a guy fall down to them. But you're talking moving from 22 to 40 with 2 trades that net you additional 4th round picks or say you manuever a 2nd that gets both Seattle's 40-41. We've seen the likes of Watson or Pierce as high boom potentials. Maybe the trade down comes from 28 for 40 after selecting you WR at 22. Don't know how the OL rank tier wise as compared to what WR rank tier-wise. Pulling something off where you drop to 30 from 22 and then gain 40 and 41 could provide a decent chance to grab 2 of 3 of the two types who fall down beyond expectations. The 4th round selection I seen and heard Jeremy Ruckert as a potential huge fill at TE with what is said NFL blocking talent from day 1. The fact he was so far down the offense go to after Wilson, Olave and the RBs they use, he figures as a potential sleeper as a pass catcher grade. So while not Woods you gain a new and younger Mercedes Lewis to play with. I looked at trade pick values and Seattle checks in at 990 for 40-41. Gb checks in at 970 for 28 and 59. The 30scenario after trading down with KC would require 53 and both fit 990. But I'd imagine you would want a lil extra for that 5th yr option so maybe Sea 5th for GBs 7th. Something to watch for though since values on 28-59 fall just a touch in GBs favor.
  24. Just remember he played with a WR 1 who should get drafted before Olave as to why you didn't see another WR close to that chart. Every team is playing WR1 worse than his teammate and he's WR2. As to my previous post, I would so love to see the teams BPA big board. How they rate their guys or tier them. What their "we need to trade down ifs" or we need to trade up if" are. Do they use a need to draft by round from this tier? Or is it like many of fantasy drafters everywhere where Gutey falls in love with 1-2, 2-3, say 3-5guys he expects to draft with that rd's pick and when the others have been selected he does whatever possible to get that last player? This draft will tell where he's at. Because staring at 4 picks in first two rounds, the needs the team has, and draft mock boards, he should be able to make 4 checkmarks finding the needs the team most needs.
