James Lofton Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 For years I've been pining for an edge rusher in the first round of the draft. And year after year after year I get disappointed. So this year I want two. One in the first round and another from this list. So manny fun prospects. Don't tell me about the Smiths we got in free agency -- I'll be happy if they get 15 sacks combined. I want someone that can become a guy teams worry about. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl-draft-edge-rankings-043529002.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaireAlex Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Me too Just prefer them day two or later. I like four of these guys now better than the day one prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopackgo247 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 2 edge, 2 TE, 2 SAF, 1 IDL, 1 OL, 1 RB, 1 WR, ill be a happy camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lofton Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Which ones? I'm kind of taken with Anthony Nelson -- probably have to pluck him up in the 3rd round. Obviously he needs to put on some muscle, but that's got to be the easiest thing to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for edge, I really like Banogu, Polite, Miller, and to a lesser extent Winovich on day two and another on day three (but esp Joe Jackson). TE: Warring, Sternberger, Moreau for day two and any number on day three. There's a lot to like and different types too. Edit: and that's not counting Nelson and Zack Allen who are more DL.

Any player who admits they don't care about studying tape isn't going to make it in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player who admits they don't care about studying tape isn't going to make it in the NFL. To me the only question is whether he will in pros. I really think so. I was very happy with his interviews. Like him a lot. Not being ready for "business" and "being a pro" I don't make much of. He seems to love football. He learned from it imo. Someone may get a steal. I think he has the tools for more than just edge rusher. Just my opinion. The only issue at all is weight, which is less a concern for me in round 2 or 3 than at 12. Will be interesting who takes him. GB had definite interest with an official interview and the natural athleticism and instincts you can see. And his hammy hurt all his tests as far as I can tell. He had good speed in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be posturing by teams that like him... but when there's smoke theres fire. Doesn't mean he can't play in the NFL. Just doesn't feel like a packers pick IMO.

Doesn't mean he can't play in the NFL. Just doesn't feel like a packers pick IMO. How this plays out will be fascinating to me is all. I just reread Pauline's comment from the combine that the Pack was real interested in Polite. Forgot about that, and Pauline has a real feel for GB over the years even under the tight-lipped TT regime. The interviews: I watched all of Polite's combine and pro day interviews. He did not at all come off as folks are portraying him. The tweets by scouts about his horrible interview struck me as total BS (aka deliberate smoke screen). Just how I see it. Was he badly prepared? Yeah. But totally different from Burfict imo. Polite was injured, but did work out for the combine. I really like Polite. Just think he shouldn't have put that weight on. He really didn't know what the combine was about. Not his fault imo. And more important-- he learned from it. Just my take. I'll be watching him draft day. Really, I think all the bad news on Polite was scouts throwing out smoke. Again, my personal take because I just don't see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCalebR Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Pauline is fine as a draft analyst but when was the last time his Packers "rumors" were any closer than Joe Schmo? I just found a blurb that said the Packers were really hoping to move Bakh inside to G to upgrade the T position. In 2016. Others I found is they were going to draft Jerell Adam's in the 3rd and the Packers were super high on Stephone Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Trace Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I want no more than 1 draft pick spent on an EDGE, except for maybe a flier in the 7th, and none at all if we do not adequately address S, OL, DL/ILB as a result of taking one. And because I am me, my preferences supersede yours. How 'bout THAT, OP?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
