Just me or did the board not fall that great for the Pack?

I know there are now the domestic concerns out there regarding DT Devonte Wyatt but I'm going with him. They can grab a WR at #28 as they just signed Watkins yesterday.

That's probably a worst case scenario board.  We're usually due for a few surprises, and this doesn't have trades so hopefully this isn't what Gute is facing in a few weeks.  As for Wyatt, the fit makes sense but he busts a couple of previous draft tendencies.  The Packers have historically gone on the younger side of the spectrum with their FRP, and Wyatt is already 24 years old which means he's going to be 29 when he gets that second contract as opposed to 21 and then being 26 when they sign that second contract.  That doesn't seem like much, but when you're talking about getting value out of your picks you prefer the younger guy.  And the Packers have also shied away from character concern guy.  I think Kylin Hill was the only one in recent years they invested a draft pick, and that was a measly 7th round pick.

As for who the Packers could pick, they could go WR (Burks, Watson, or Pickens), DB (Hill, Pitre, or Cine), or somewhere else.  Treylon Burks is probably the "safe" pick, but I think Watson and Pickens are more likely Packers' pick.  I think DB is going to be a sneaky high pick.

Burk seems to fit what GB wants at WR. He'd probably be WR1 by the end of training camp.

I went LB because I think they’re now actively trolling A-Rodg.

The Packers have used a 1st round pick on a WR since 2002, and I don’t see that trend breaking.
