jleisher Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Packers finish the season 6-9-1, end up with the #12 pick. MM is fired, Packers get rejected by two college coaches. Dave Toub of KC is hired by another team and the Packers are left with a surprise pick from the college ranks. Green Bay hires Lane Kiffin HC of Florida Atlantic as their new HC. Kiffin replaces the whole offensive staff and leaves Pettine and his defense alone, for now. Packers don't resign any of their bigger name UFA's. let them all walk. Bulaga is let go, injuries are finally catching up to him. I won't go into FA's and cap space, to much time for today. 2019 Packers Draft #12. Wait, the phone rings. Raiders come a calling, offer picks #21, #26 and #66 for picks #12 and #44. Points favor Packers , deal done. #21. Raekwon Davis DL Alabama Ideal 3-4 DE with pass rush skills, speed and power. #26. Deionte Thompson S Alabama Excellent awareness, good range, good tackler and active against the run. #32. Montez Sweat Edge Miss St. Dynamic pass rusher. #66. Cody Ford G/T Oklahoma Solid player that falls to us in the top of round #3. Future RG if not in 2019, then 2020. #75. David Edwards T Wisconsin Solid RT for WI, can run block as well as pass protection. Bulaga's replacement. #114. Lukas Denis S Boston College Great instincts and plays with precision. Better then average hands, future FS. #124. Bobby Evans T Oklahoma Development player that can play either side of the OLine. #151. Myles Gaskin RB Washington Montgomery's replacement, Jones, Williams and Gaskin are the 3 RB's. #155. Marlon Davidson DE/Edge Auburn Development player that will spend some time on STs. #187. Jamal Peters CB Miss St. Big press CB. Depth. Drafting two Safety's, Williams moves back to CB. #195. Jared Pinkney TE Vanderbilt Big body TE that's a true pass catcher/blocker. Runs crisp routes and gets open. Read about him, seems like a Packers type of guy. #228. Jauan Jennings WR Tennessee Big receiver that could surprise teams with a great QB throwing the ball. Scouting information was from Draftblaster and Walterfootball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBitzMan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 If the Packers hire Lane Kiffin, I am following McCarthy to the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Lane ******* Kiffin? Why? What possible poltergeist would possess someone to want Lane Kiffin as their head coach? Don't even hate the draft, but what the ****? Joey Freshwater!!!!!! I love that Kiffin's resume over the past decade looks like it's in reverse 2017-Present: HC at Florida Atlantic 2014-2016: Offensive Coordinator at Alabama. 2010-2013: Head Coach at USC 2009: Head Coach at Tennessee 2007-2008: Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders. This guy's a real up and comer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Great effort but you lost my interest at Lane Kiffin, and I clicked back at this: Quote #12. Wait, the phone rings.

Golfman Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So, NO to Lane Kiffin, but I like the draft. Two minor complaints. I'd like a TE and WR before the RB and 3rd offensive lineman you took. I want a 'joy stick' type of WR. We've got enough big, bodied guys who can play already.

Gopher Trace Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I feel like Thompson will go higher than that, but I could be wrong. That pick alone would make me very happy with the draft, doubly so if we get a stud DL from the 1st along with it. Also, kudos for the Gaskin pick. He's a guy who is on my radar as well as a value RB who can bring some of the quickness we will sorely lack if we lose Cobb to FA. Very shifty, good receiver out of the backfield, from my limited scouting on the guy. I think the allocation of picks to positions make sense as well. If I have any criticisms, #1 would be Lame Kitten for HC, but I won't harp on that (others have explained why). #2 would be the free-agency. I get the sense that you did not really want to explore that too much, but really, letting some key guys go (like Bulaga) and then not signing anyone who could help at positions of need (S, IOL, EDGE) is a bad proposition, and it's not in keeping with the approach Gutekunst has rightly decided on employing towards the FA market. You could definitely have done much better with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyIrish23 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hell no to Kiffen. Also Davis has not shown any pass rushing ability this year. We need to add more pass rushers like Daniels used to be or like Matthews used to be. Davis could develop that pass rushing ability aka Kenny Clark but we need someone right away. Also Sweat is my least favorite EDGE prospect, he lacks the ability to bend the corner and is not twitchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachbuns Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Good draft for the needed spots on our roster but a tight end a little sooner may be needed as Graham is on his last leg and not much but Tonyan left. However, the head coaching position can do better than Kiffen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I would rather we just wave the white flag and let Aaron go full LeBron and be HC and GM of the Packers than hire Kiffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
