This is good for the Packers so far. Just pushes a few guys down the board...really wish Denver would have moved up for McCarthy rather than Minnesota though.
-
I doubt it. I'd guess Denver was eager to take McCarthy. Especially if they end up taking Nix...which is not a great pick IMO.
-
He's a stud, but I'm just glad they didn't take Fashanu. I thought they should have added to that OL. I'm not a big fan of Braxton Jones.
-
Well...yeah, of course! It was even more fun doing the mock draft simulators until Jordan Love ruined it by...winning. We could have had Joe Alt!
-
I don't think so, I think the Nabers talk is legit. But the Chargers now have an elite OT combo with Alt and Slater. That's a team that needs to build from inside out. They've always had this flashy talent, but they rarely seem to have the OL/DL you need. Alt was by far my favorite prospect in this class. I think they made the right move... That said, best case scenario is Brian Thomas falls to #25 and the Chargers are desperate to replace Williams/Allen and trade up and give up a future 1st? We probably have to send a 3rd back or whatever, but it'd be well worth it.
-
I could not agree more. I was on the Harrel bandwagon...after we made the pick. It's really kinda silly not to. All the mock and guessing is fun, but the Packers are so well run, Gute and their scouting is exceptional, it's really pointless(and a little arrogant) to get disappointed about a prospect. Even the Jordan Love pick...I half heartedly predicted it and then felt disappointed for a bit, then just excited about the future. I hoped we'd get lucky enough to find another franchise QB...and now we're watching the Packers draft as a team with legitimate SB aspirations.
-
Colson would make me really cringe. I like Colson, he's a smart backer. He's savvy slipping blocks, but for all the talk about how Cooper is a Will, I don't see Colson as more of a MLB. I also like Wilson. Tough kid, but a little older, knee injuries. I'd feel about the same with Cooper as I did with Quay. It wouldn't be my favorite pick, but I think Hafley will take advantage of our LBers athletic ability. I also think the edge from Mizzou, Darius Robinson is a very real possibility at #25. More likely I think we move either up 4-6 spots or down, but if we stay put, I think it'll be a pick most fans find a little boring. I'll come around either way. The talent of this team with 5 top 91 picks? Could this draft feel more different from last years?
-
LOL...missed that one. Still love the guy as a player. He's one of a handful of Badgers I've actually really hoped would end up here, but I can imagine he's not exactly at his best in space vs a guy like Daniels. Speaking of UW guys, thoughts on Guerrendo or Bortolini? I was really unimpressed with the prior in Wisconsin and going back watching Bortolini, he needs a lot of work on the QB exchange, but he was a little better than I remembered. 169 would be a solid range.
-
I haven't looked at Walter recently, but NFL Draft Buzz HAS to be the worst "scouting" site out there. They just cut and paste the same answers. If a RB is under 200LB, he's 'questions in pass pro, curls up and tries to dive at blitzers feet,' or something along those lines. They have ~10 positive attributes, ~10 negative ones and just mix and match. "Stacks CBs with the best of them," is one.
-
Hell, Derrick Brooks would be worried about that! But I know one way to solve that issue...send Leo to the NFCN! I'd be thrilled with him as the Mike in this defense. Not quite so thrilled with him in coverage, but he can rush the passer. To be honest though, this one went over my head. Is Chenal particularly bad spying a QB or has Lamar broken his ankles a couple times?
-
I'd be shocked if he makes it to #58...less so Mims with his injury history. I'd guess he'd go to one of Balt, KC, SF at the end of the 1st and if he doesn't go in Rd1, then I can't see Washington passing him. But it's the draft. There are always guys falling. We drafted Quay, there were people who had Dean as the #1 LB(more had Lloyd, but some certainly had Dean). I think the best case for the Packers would be a team like the Raiders or Denver seeing Penix/Nix sitting there at #25 and are willing to give up a '25 1st to move up. Payton is the most likely to do so, but it'd be easier to justify Guyton and say Edggerin Cooper in the early 2nd if they're there.
-
I don't think you want the other safety to be exclusively a box safety. If you get a guy in Rd 1 to play safety, ideally, it'd be someone who's interchangeable with McKinney. Someone who can play the slot, play the run and play CF or in a split safety look. I understand the argument you'd rather have a pure CB. That will be interesting...if the Packers are willing to take a guy like Wiggins with his frame, or Sainstrail in the 2nd(I've warmed up to that a lot). I would trade down if I were them. I think they could easily add a 1st in next years draft and I'm definitely of the opinion that you're better off building that OL before you throw that young QB in there. Very few QBs are going to be able to go from CFB to the NFL and play behind a poor OL. On the other hand, Daniels is really impressive. He can make every throw, he's going to be one of the most elusive QBs in the NFL right out of the gate. If it's Maye who's on the board, then I'm definitely moving down and trying to still grab Alt.
-
I don't really think that's all that compelling. They had Clifton/Tauscher through 2000-2010/'11. Then they drafted OTs in back to back years with Bulaga and Sherrod, the latter ended up having a serious injury and they end up with Bakhtiari and Bulaga for most of the next decade. MANY of those years they also had very pressing needs and used the 1st rd to address more glaring issues. Randall when you started Gunter at CB vs Jones, Haha when you needed a safety badly, Stokes when you lost in the NFCCG with Kevin King's blown coverage. The odds are obviously against taking an OT, but this is not a large sample size and I don't think it's predictive of what they WILL do. Especially if they think there is an elite OT there. I think they'd have taken Wright last year if he was on the board at #13. There are 22 positions on the field and Gute has broken with "norms," several times. They'd have taken Watson in Rd1 if Minnesota would have agreed to trade pick 32 instead of 34. Of course even that wouldn't be a thing if Jordy had been drafted a few spots earlier. Off-Ball, Safety, a smaller WR in Jaire, Reed was under their size thresholds. Again, they probably take another position just because it's the field vs OT, but I don't think it'd be because they haven't taken one since they took two back to back.
-
I didn't see anyone you missed, but I think Fautanu is pretty clearly a LT. The concerns there were mostly with length and he has the requisite length and he moves really well. Suamatia I think can play LT but probably not right away. I think Guyton ends up at LT(I know you didn't say otherwise). He had a left handed QB, so he was protecting his blindside. If there's one guy who's realistically available at the end of the 1st(I think Fautanu, Fashanu, Alt are gone) I think he's the most likely OT they take. I do believe he also has Guard versatility in this scheme given how he can bend. The huge advantage to having Tom is the ability to play him at LT though. So even if you think someone is a RT only, don't think he's got the feet to play LT, I don't think that's a big deterrence.

Wade Miley is Injured. Now What?
BrewerFan replied to Ryan Pollak's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
I don't want all that in Milwaukee. He has been vindicated with regard to the accusations, but it was still an ugly situation, ugly details, I don't think the people are changing their mind about him and I've never heard a teammate with a good word to say about him. I get that's a bit hyperbolic, but he's not exactly been well liked and...I just don't think the Brewers need that drama, to upset the chemistry and I think we can cover it. Even if Miley is the worst case, I think we can add a player and get by with our defense. Bauer was a great arm. He hasn't played in 4 years and you've seen the discussions on this forum. It'd only get uglier in public...if you think it's justified or not. -
3 WRs, at least one LT. Williams looks great. He couldn't beat good teams at USC and he played a little too much like Johnny Manziel. Undisciplined. He has a ton of upside, but I'm not sure if he has more than Daniels anymore and the Bears are going to have to get it out of him. Mahomes got to sit for a year and learn from Reid. Williams isn't going to be given that luxury and he's going to have who developing him? Just another reason I'd take Alt if I were them, though I imagine they'll go defense with that 2nd pick.
-
Yeah, but if you're trapping well above the 3 point line, you would expect more of a hockey assist. Either way, the rest of the team is going to have to keep hitting shots to make Indiana pay. I agree...I'd probably leave him to rehab in Milwaukee either way. Gotta win one of the next 3 and then maybe hope he comes back.
-
Gute just publicly praised Cooper DeJean...so he probably wasn't going to be on the board...but if he is, unlikely he's the pick now! I'm only half serious...but I would be surprised to see Gute talking about how much he likes the versatility of a player they were targeting in Rd1.
-
If Williams and Daniels are in the division, I'd be good with moving back, picking up another pick early in the 3rd and getting Cooper. Especially if Guyton, DeJean, Fautanu, Barton, etc...are all gone by 35. I'd prefer Suamataia over a OG only at #41 and not a fan of Trotter, but I'd be a big fan. I do think to move up to #2, Minnesota is giving up more. Washington would have to be overwhelmed. I really hope the Bears trade down is Alt is on the board. Alt with Wright and Williams gives them an incredible foundation, but I think they will look to split, one on offense, one on defense. Jarrian Jones at #169 would be a steal. I think he could go in the top 100...but there are so many variables. I like the picks and the positions for the Packers. I don't think McCarthy makes it to #11. I think teams are going to be aggressive moving up for that 4th QB and it seems like scouts are higher on McCarthy than those making the mocks. He was asked to do a ton at Michigan, but he's been a winner. 3X B1G Champ, NC. He seems a lot like Herbert coming out with more team success.
-
I have no memory of the 1970s, just stories of my Dad's glory days. I had some very vague memories of the late 80s, but the Brewers are in pinstripes in them. These are my favorite jersey and I've bought this color for most of my Brewers merch...so no, those are not the only people who could say these are nice jerseys (though I'd say they're awesome, not nice, so might be splitting hairs here).
-
I agree. Mims may be too much to pass up at #41, but #25 with limited playing time, seems like a high-risk signing but with too much risk. Guyton is one of the biggest boom or bust prospects in that range. Wiggins would be interesting for the reasons mentioned. He's just so skinny.
-
Probably. He was similar to Walker in '21 at OT, but he was brutal last year. Athletic and maybe they can work on his technique and patience at OT. Seems like he lunges at Edge rushers and gets off balance. A lot of people are upset over this. Not entirely sure why. He's just a body to provide depth. Certainly not a lock to make the team.
-
Yeah...they're so good at finding QBs, they're helping the Brewers find pitching. What, that wasn't obvious in my post?
-
You could transfer once without sitting out(unless the coach that recruited you left). That was the NCAA rule. That was challenged and an injunction blocked the NCAA from making kids who were transferring a 2nd time from being ineligible. That was just this past year. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ncaa-agrees-to-temporary-injunction-granting-eligibility-for-multi-time-transfers-until-end-of-spring-sports/

Brice Turang tweet from official Brewers account
BrewerFan replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I don't care if he has a .750 OPS if his line is .280/.350/.400. For that matter, I don't care if the SLG is .375. He's an elite defensive MIFer. I don't need him to be a slugger.
