I don't know that I think it's likely, but it's certainly possible.  Gute wasn't afraid to part with a couple of good picks to go get Watson.

Or Love and look how that turned out.

My round 2 O line pick for the Packers is C/G Powers Johnson. I think I'd take him over T Guyton, T/G Barton, OG Beebe or C Van Pran.

Yeah, he's a thick strong dude for sure. talked earlier how there's just no real stuff of him getting out in space and we ask the C to get out there and rumble. 

I've got Guyton a good bit higher than the interior guys. He's got all the tools and he seems like a solid dude who'll fit right in a room. He's for sure still learning the position, I think the moon is the ceiling for him. But I'm also the guy who's the least comfortable with Rasheed here i guess and probably higher than most on Myers.

Havent gotten to Beebe or Van Pran yet. But I dont see myself looking at an interior guy that high in the draft.

Has Jordan Davis panned out? Not rhetorical, just legit haven’t heard his name since the draft (but I only watch packer games) 

Yes.  He was really good for them.

Nubin, but he’s going to be 23. Kinda hope Gute looks the other way on that.

Really early favorite of mine is the kid out of Minnesota, Tyler Nubin.

I was lead to believe he was more of a hitter than a cover guy. I know he was primarily the deep Safety, but I've heard less than glowing reviews of his ability back there like his best fit would be as a 2 shell guy.

Very shallow dive on any prospects by me so far, so certainly don't take my word for anything.  But looking at this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Dv9Up6iYM

he seems like both a hitter and good in coverage.  There will be more time to dig deeper, but my first impression is that he was able to cover and tackle at the college level. 

 

[edit]  This guy thinks he is slow.  Still thinks he will be a top 50 pick, so probably not a turtle, but may not be fast enough for what we want.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Td13aU7LSg

Reportedly ran 4.7 in the 40 coming out of high school.  In the small clips that I have seen, he looks faster than that, LaDarius Gunter was a 4.7 guy.  But how much faster is to be determined.

Gute also was willing to move back from 45 2x and pick up a few more D3 picks and get Reed + Wicks

I think the Packers might look to move up for someone they really like.  I don't see them making all five of those picks in the first three rounds.

If they did a modest trade-up, I hope it's for Fuaga or one of the CB's.

JPJ got out to the second level quite a bit in the Oregon-UCLA game and looked fine doing it.

In his booth yeah, gets on the ILBs and I think he worked himself up to a safety well. How about on screens and tosses? When he's chasing stuff down from the backside the legs start looking pretty stiff when he tries to get moving out there. I think he's prone to some of the Myers whiffs as well where he's just not stacked on himself like he should be.

I think thats one of the ones I watched anyways. should probably start doing notes..

I wouldnt hate getting JPJ in, for sure got that Pro Bowl potential or whatever you want to call it.

Just where he's going to go, is he a perfect fit? Is it an immediate need for a non premium? With Myers in tow he just wouldnt be my guy that high up the board when I think there's more pressing needs with corresponding prospects in the area.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really on team JPJ.  I don't understand the hype he's been getting lately, and I agree that he isn't the best mover (I did just watch him go out on a screen against Washington and he looked really slow and out of place out there).  He's a solid player, but PFF having him ranked 22nd on their big board is absolutely ridiculous IMO.

He did well in his all-star bowl practices.

I was finally able to find video with ALL the OL/DL 1-on-1 reps and yeah, he looked a lot better overall than the few blips I saw yesterday.  I still think he's being overhyped, though.  Again, not a bad player by any means, but a 22nd overall ranking is wild to me.

Speaking of which, after finally getting to see all the reps, the guys that I thought were solid initially had a lot more bad reps that I wasn't able to see at first.  Still good to be able to learn about players I hadn't yet heard of, though.

22?! No. If he's 22 then your board is scant. Dude is a fringe 1st at best. 30-40 range for me with his stock rise.
