AT Perry -WR or TE Kuntz?

OK, Dontayvian Wicks-WR.

Pick #159:

Dontayvion Wicks WR, UVA​

Height: 6-1, Weight: 206

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

At least we got Wicks which is cool

 

[tynimiller]

@Dantés brother we got him! Wicks is a Packer!!!

 

[tynimiller]

I see a better Lazard of the future in him…more wiggle and quicker IMO

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Won't surprise me to see the Packers select a K in Rd. 6

 

[OldSchool101]

Great selection there. I was just in Charlottesville for Easter (Sisters home). Go Cavaliers

 

[Pkrjones]

Wicks spends some time with the jugs machine & reduces his drops may be good addition.

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

Obviously, Gute and the Packers disagree with your assessment.

Obviously, that doesn’t make either of us right. But I’d love to see what the draft community is going to think of this pick. I give it three years before he’s out of the league.

Do we really need to go back and review the number of picks with which someone disagreed with the FO that turned out to be stinkers?

 

[OldSchool101]

Check out his 2021 season. 21.1 per!

He’s our ACC version of
Terry McLaurin !

 

[Schultz]

@Dantés brother we got him! Wicks is a Packer!!!

Is he John Wicks brother?

I'm really happy the Rams wasted pick #228 in '92 on TJ Rubley. Had GB done it I'd STILL be livid.

 

[tynimiller]

I suspect we have one trade up for a RB pick. We won’t sit on all these plethora of picks left

 

[OldSchool101]

I had him on the board at #207 but in the wrong slot there in Round 5 That’s a great WR

Sean Clifford Video Scout from PSU site. Brutally honest. Guess the run on QBs forced the Packers' hand.

I just find it funny that within a couple of seconds-minutes after a selection, a few posters are so unhappy with a pick, that they declare Gute and his staff as incompetent because of it.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Pick #179:

Karl Brooks DL, BGREEN​

Height: 6-4, Weight: 300

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Impressive. In 2022, Brooks had the highest PFF grade among edge defenders in FBS (93.0)

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

**** ya Karl Brooks!

 

[Schultz]

I would have slightly preferred Ojomo but Brooks is a pick I like. Here is my issue with Clifford, they took a chance of losing out on Wicks, another pick I like and either Ojumo or Brooks by taking Clifford before them. I just smell some panic. IMO.

I find it funny that we can’t criticize a draft pick on a discussion board.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Van Ness, Wooden and Brooks.....I think the Packers have addressed their DL and Edge needs pretty well.

That’s my problem with the pick, the kid is basically a udfa, the quarterback run happened and there were still quarterbacks on the board that have a much higher upside and are higher on the majority of the boards in the draft community. My friend is a diehard Penn State fan, we watch a lot of games. He was the first to text me a wtf? His 2021 was beyond awful and he had Dotson as a receiver. This year he was slightly better, but still has no arm talent and makes terrible decisions. That’s a recipe for disaster.

I have no problem with criticism, but when people make absolute statements, before a guy has even put on a Packer jersey, I find it comical. Then some want to use THAT to go even further and they draw the conclusion that Gute is incompetent.

I'm not really following what posters are the ones jumping off cliffs the last 3 days, but there has been enough of them to make me roll my eyes after each pick.
