Front line worker and I get covid after the fact, no figure?

Used profootballnetwork simulator for this mock draft and NFL draft buzz for scouting.  Enjoy!

After consulting with Rod Marinelli, (little humor here fokes!).  Packer's fire DC Joe Berry and promote DB coach Jerry Gray to DC with Aubrey Pleasant sliding into the DB coach.  I would prefer someone else, but this seems more like a Packer move.

I would also like the Packers to consider the following coaches for DC as well.

See the source image

Jim Leonhard UW HC, gut tells me that he gets passed over as HC for Lance Leipoid.

See the source image

Brian Flores Senior Defensive Advisor Steelers.

See the source image

Vic Fangio former Denver HC and Bears DC.  

See the source image

In a surprise move, Packers hire Frank Reich as Senior Offensive Consultant and Asst. HC.  Packers make this move to lock in LaFleur's possible replacement if next season starts off bad.  Yeah, your right, probably won't happen but I think it would make sense.

 

Before the draft, Green Bay signs two street free agents.  Both players could add a lot to offense, if in the right football frame of mind.

Will Fuller WR, sign him to a 1yr deal and see if a year off has reset his motor.

Eric Ebron TE, same as Fuller.  Don't understand why both didn't play this year.  

 

Mock Draft:

#12.  Falcon's call to move up to draft a WR they want, offered me pick #13 and #113.   Deal done.  Falcon's select Kayshon Boutle WR LSU.

#13.  Titian's call seeing a top OL dropping, offer me picks #27, #58 and 2024 2nd rd pick.  I agreed.  Titian's select Paris Johnson T Ohio St.

  • Can get up on the line of scrimmage and deliver a solid punch early in routes, then use that quickness to shadow, or back off and close quickly when the ball comes out
  • Turner can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #31. He wrote, "He is the fastest guy on the Wolverines, having hit 23.07 mph on the GPS and run a 4.28 40 — out of a two-point stance, no less. His 3-cone time is even more stunning. He clocked a 6.29 this offseason, and strength coaches think he has a good shot at besting the combine record of 6.28, set in 2018 by Oklahoma’s Jordan Thomas. "
  • Has the fluidity, speed and quick feet to come down and defend slot receivers in man coverage. Turner also does a nice job breaking down in space as a tackler after the catch.
  • Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
  • Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.

I think most Packer fans would be thrilled with this draft if it actually came to be. I know I am. The heart of what you are doing, IMHO, is something the team needs to do: we need more really good players more than we need one or two great ones. Trading down is the means to get what we need.
