2023 Draft Live Discussion Thread

Guess he crushed at the senior bowl. Increased his draft stock from a projected 4th rounder as a result obviously. Shifty and fast, don't see a 3-cone on him though.

That would be BS if true. or just BS.

Or a joke

 

[GreenNGold_81]

I think we can move on from the MVS comp.

Marginal athlete. I ruled him out as a Packer target.

This draft is crazy. Tons of guys falling and lots of reaches from across the league.

What # is our next pick?

Same thoughts here. Not that I'm as up on all of the prospects as most of you here, much less the teams front offices, but I have been surprised at some of the picks.

He didn't do any agility testing prior to the draft.

only according to engines. This is why I tried to ignore rankings. I remember telling everyone when Brents could be had in sixth to ignore…or Mingo like Dante’s and I have said will be HIGH pick.

Fact is league is illustrating that engines and such are not gospel of course.

I think 78

And historically they've done really well in the 2nd.

Lets be honest, they have a ton of holes that need filling. Grabbing a WR in the 1st was more important in the last 3 years for Rodgers. This year they need help across the board. Everywhere.

Basically 2 things upset people on draft day in the 1st round. Picking a guy above where the board is slotted (picking a guy #20 where 'the board' has him at 40) and not picking an offensive weapon which is the equivalent of getting a new toy on Christmas. The Packers in the 1st round are always are the aunt that gives us socks on Christmas. In the past few years, I wanted the Packers to get a new toy under the tree. This year... they need f'n socks (and underwear)

Bravo

Wow his film really presented me one thing right away. One area he is brilliant in is Juke. His Juke Wiggle is on the level of the great Mercury Morris. I don’t know if he’s an ankle breaker, but he’s an ankle sprain trying to tackle him. Really elite wiggle no wonder he was a good returner

 

[Firethorn1001]

Just gotta find a way to get Gute out of the picture for the 3rd round.

Dang it!! I really wanted Rashee Rice. He was one of my draft crushes.

 

[PikeBadger]

78?

 

[Sanguine camper]

He didn't do any agility testing prior to the draft.

If you are a small guy like Reed, isn't agility your bread and butter? Why skip that?

 

[OldSchool101]

I bet he’s going to be great at YAC

Agree. The mock drafts are the amateurs at play. Today the pro's are playing.

 

[Dantés]

The league must really have taken the problems with the Tennessee offense more seriously than the media.

Which is why I’ve said I’m higher on Hall than Hooker sadly. Neither is amazing but I love Hall instead of Hooker.

I think we can move on from the MVS comp.

I think the logical comp is Randall Cobb. Plus this guy could be our next punt returner.

I don’t see it as much because Cobb has to live in slot, Reed does not. Either way I love how he fits differently with our WR room

 

[AKCheese]

I see him as a slower MVS clone who runs better routes, better hands and half a foot shorter - well they’re both black guys LOL

 

[BrokenArrow]

“We drafted some good WRs outside of the first round, and out of the whopping five WRs we did draft in the first round only two of them were HoF players, therefore there’s no reason to suggest we should consider drafting a WR in the first more frequently”

Compelling logic I must admit

The point is they've done pretty darn well not drafting WR in the first round, so why are you so critical that they didn't do it this year? R-E-L-A-X

 

[Todd Princl]

Why is AJ Green announcing the Bengals pick? Has he retired? I thought he was an active player yet.
