NFLGURU Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I always wonder on a guy like Georgia WR, George Pickens, if the Packers are interested, would they sit down with Eric Stokes who played against him in practice every day and ask him about Pickens, or Jordan Davis, or Wyatt?

DWhitehurst Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Question: Given the buzz around his potential, how high do you think P Matt Araiza is gonna go? I would love to have him if he's there, say no earlier than pick 171, but I have nightmares from Mike Sherman trading up to take bust B.J. Sander in the third round.

We have a punter that our ST coach picked out himself. We aren't going to draft one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hope so. Then again, was Pickens healthy enough to practice much against Stokes? I just googled Pickens college stats. Came away thinking he's a sleeper first round pick. 60.58 yards per game played as a freshman. 64.13 yards per game played as a sophomore. Injuries took away his last year, junior year. But his arc was going up. Add in the size/speed/level of competition, and.... 6'3'' 200 pounds. 4.47 40. 33 vertical. 125 broad jump. Love him in the second round, somewhere. Also, not going to be mad if we reach in the first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only about this statement. Isn't he supposed to be a good holder, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is living in Crosby’s basement… so I’m sure they are working daily on laces out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is extremely underrated in the draft because he is coming back from ACL. Prior to his injury he looked like one of the best WR in college football and I believe he would be in the discussion to be the first WR drafted if not for the injury. He reminds me of AJ Green, another Georgia Bulldog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have him if he's there, say no earlier than pick 171, but I have nightmares from Mike Sherman trading up to take bust B.J. Sander in the third round. Aside from signing O'Donnell, I feel like the Sherman move was bad on 2 levels - he traded UP to draft a punter, and he talked himself into trading up for a MEDIOCRE punter. Obviously JK Scott didn't work out here, but it was tough to dispute that he was a GREAT college punter. Sander was a JAG in college, a pro prospect but not a draftable one. Araiza has a lost a little bit of shine since he doesn't really work on hang time or directional punting, he just cranks it as deep as he can; most NFL ST coaches don't like that.

Leader Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Graham Barfield - What the Packers should do: Sell the farm for Deebo What they will actually do: Draft a tackle at 22, a CB at 29 and make Randall Cobb WR1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So GB at least traded down to draft the corner… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tperk Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Take 2 WRs with the first 4 picks, and take BPA with the other 2 top 4 picks at OL, EDGE, or CB/S. Just as long as one of the WRs isnt Dotson from Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
