Dang!!!! We get an early pick and Gutenberg trades it away. Gerry. He better have gotten quite a bit for it.
I don't think we did. I was okay with a trade down if no defensive elites were there and if we got goo value. Missed on both counts.

Only way this works is if NO completely collapsed and we get a top 10 pick and Tremaine Edmund's inexplicably drops to 27.

Packers lose a 3rd ... but gain a first. All they did was slide down a net of 4 spots. This was really well done after all.

Like I said. I want 6'+ to cover the 6'3+ wrs out there. That's the line I draw. The 4.32, long jump and vert give reason to let that 1 1/8" slide. But to me, that's a nickel cb. To cover those Doug Baldwin types...

Julio ran like a 4.32 40 too. At nearly 220 and 6'3"+......

I don't care if other teams get by with 5'11" CBs. Not many of them are under 190 I bet..... and I wouldn't expect any of them to be able to cover Julio 1 on 1. Or any of the other super sized freak athlete receivers out there...

That's just me.

But maybe 10 years of Thompson drafting 5'11" CBs (and none stuck) was a fluke? Maybe us finally drafting king, Jones, fa house, and the new bigger stronger, more physical CBs, shows the new leadership agreed with me.

Jaire Alexander (ward) 5-10, 4.39 isn't gonna be asked to cover Julio Jones, Kevin king 6-3 4.4 is

There is a significant drop off after Tier 2, imo. I imagine at least one, potentially 3 guys from Tier 2 will be there at 14. Just depends on QB's, and if some player strikes one teams fancy. There are a ton of good iOL that are arguably better players than some I have listed here, but value wise, and knowing how the Packers draft, I had a hard time putting them in. But Billy Price, Will Hernandez, Austin Corbett, James Daniels, Isiah Wynn, are all good iOL. Not as high on the OT class.

WHOOOO. I don't mean to brag, but I CRUSHED Jessie Bates.
