Isherwood Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Some very plugged in people have said this draft only has 15-20 1st round prospects. By those numbers, a low 1st is as good as a second to me and I’d be fine with GB taking Washington down there if it means not missing him in the 2nd round. The Eric Stokes strategy.

Green19 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 As much as I would enjoy JSN in the first… given how many WRs in this class meet the Packers measurables at the position, I find it hard that they would go this way. I think there are guys in the 2nd-4th round range they could get. And there are some lottery ticket types that I’m sure GB would love to use all those 7th rounders on. Just seems less and less likely to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isherwood Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Based on nothing more than the PFF mock machine (which just went mostly behind a damn paywall) - we’re looking at Paris Johnson and LVN a lot. I usually see Quentin Johnston and Devon Witherspoon gone, who are the only two WR/CBs I would want there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Joey porter jr might be a pick that “shocks” people for GB. But if they move Douglas to S… Alexander, Stokes and Porter is a good group of 3. The OTs are obvious… mainly Johnson jr. The edge, is highly based on what “style” you like. LVN makes sense given how GB has been drafting lately at the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I would be shocked if Green Bay spends a 1st on a TE or a WR without having two first round picks in hand. With two, all bets are off however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Quentin Johnston is very much in the conversation at 15 if he's sitting there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Has anyone dug into the reasons Van Ness at Iowa didn't start many games? Was it a rotation?, too raw of a player? The guy could go in the top 15, and you think they'd get him on the field as much as possible? Just curious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Iowa very rarely starts younger guys when there's someone with seniority at the position. It's just part of the culture of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Pretty solid numbers for Mayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what keeps LVN from starting but CMIII had same issue. He was a rotational guy early his last year at USC. Didn’t start until late that year.

Brat&Beer Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Also Van Ness had the most snaps of any DE on Iowa. So it's not like he was really just a backup. Just part of a rotation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 One thing about those Iowa guys. They come NFL-ready. If the Packers draft him, it likely won't take him long to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
