AlexGreen#20 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 In rounds 1-4 you draft with a plan of where you will be putting guys. In rounds 5-7 you draft the best overall player without caring about position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 what was the point of keeping 10 OL? Put spriggs on notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 4 hours ago, NormSizedMidget said: Completely disagree on filling positions late in the draft Why though? I get going best player available late in the draft, but there comes a point when it just defeats the purpose. I know a lot of people here thought Davis and Janis were on the bubble, but they weren't. Both bring more athletically than we've had in a long time, and both had too much value on special teams to just give up in their 4th/2nd years, so once receiver was the best player available, gotta think it would have made more sense to go with the next best player NOT at a position we're deep in.

Like you can't fault GB for taking 3 RBs in a deep RB class any more than you can fault them for the Adams/Abby/Janis draft in a deep WR class. Pretty much. The Packers played the numbers game at the RB position, and the early returns are encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has more to do with the health of Don Barclay more than anything else. Aside from he and Corey Linsley, who has C experience? I don't think anyone other than Lucas Patrick has experience in that regard. My guess with McCray has something to do with the Packers liking his developmental potential.

CWood21 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Honestly, the biggest surprise to me was that we cut 3 of our draft picks. I'd imagine at least two of them end on the PS, if not all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one of the extra OL is playing backup C until Barclay is healthy, because you need a backup center active on game day because the play doesn't start unless someone snaps the ball. Once Barclay is healthy, the erstwhile backup center will be making room for someone else's roster spot (Allison?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGreen Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 was not a fan of the yancey pick at the time, and this drives that point home. a 5th round pick isn't a guarantee roster guy, but it's one you really hope would be. i don't even really think he should be a PS guy. would rather keep mccaffrey and dupre on the practice squad over him.

Yeah, latest story says Barclay is probably gonna be out for most of September http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2017/08/28/updates-green-bay-packers-roster-cuts/610149001/ Quote In part, the Packers went heavy on the offensive line because of injury. Backup center Don Barclay won’t be available against the Seahawks, a source said. His return might not come until late September. No team enters a game with only one offensive lineman who can snap the football. Without Barclay, the Packers needed to ensure they had a backup center.

deltarich87 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Saints love poaching QB's from GB. Did this last year with Joe Callahan, now they do it with Taysom Hill Looks like Callahan will be the Packers PS QB now....maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGreen Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 disappointing about hill. wanted him on the PS above callahan. that said, not really disappointing to lose either. still think hundley needs another year or two as a backup before he's ready to challenge on a team as starter, as (i'm sure) frustrating as it is for him.
