When the Packers and Love were bad I was on Daniels as a top pick before anyone else. In order to keep bringing something up, I would've had to bring it up before. We were never drafting Jayden Daniels because Jordan Love was never bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Jaylen Wright is one of my biggest draft crushes. Perfect heir apparent to Jones. Here he is leaving Tykee Smith, Javon Bullard and Kamari Lassiter in his wake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the interviews and getting to know him a bit would be much more important. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 He's obviously a dangerous runner, it's everything else about the position that'll be important for him. I've had him as a day 3 pick in my mocks for a while now. He's going to be higher on draftnik's boards than he will actual NFL teams boards because he doesn't do the little things yet. There's a reason he only had 137 carries and it's not because Dylan Sampson and Jabari Small are on his level as a runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read at least, seems to grade out well as a pass blocker for the opportunities he had. I'd be fine nabbing him with one of our 3rds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's several other RBs in this class that are more refined and have high enough upsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrILL! Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bill Belichick was totally going to use the Patriots 1st rd pick on Mason McCormick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the interviews and getting to know him a bit would be much more important. Want to see that he has that speed with legit RB weight, is my guess. He is listed at 215, which is bigger than Aaron Jones. If that is legit, sign me up. But, just like I have been saying about Ennis Rakestraw, let's see an independent weigh-in on that number. And to be clear, I am team Wright and team Rakestraw, I just want to be 100% with the information there. I have been saying for a while, there are a LOT of RBs that I like in this draft. It just lacks that day 1 complete player. Like, tell me that a tandem of Audric Estime and Will Shipley wouldn't be very interesting. I also kind of think that the "don't pay a RB" is bleeding into "don't draft a RB" and hurting the stock of some players. I do think that you could probably plug and play Jonathon Brooks, Trey Benson, and Blake Corum. While I hesitate to pick a RB in the first round, I don't think it is a waste to take one in the second. We got 4 years out of AJ Dillon and 4 years out of Eddie Lacy. Were they flawed? Sure. But you don't have to go very far back in Packers draft history to find worse uses of second round picks. Also, to be clear, I am not advocating for any specific RB in any specific round. Only that I don't immediately dismiss the idea of a second round RB, if that is the way that the board lines up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Some have questioned Wright's agility. If he does the agility drills, doing well there could help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I like Jaylen Wright but I think Abanikanda (5'11" 215lbs) was a better, and probably faster, back last year and he went in the 5th. Abanikanda reportedly ran 4.26-4.32 at his pro-day and had great explosive testing #'s. 3-cone and shuttle weren't great. Think Pass-Pro was the big question with him.

packfanfb Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Fair to say that Tyler Nubin's 40 and 3-cone times will be some of the most important to see next week. He'll become one of the more popular mock picks at 25 if he runs/moves well. Checks every other box for Hafley's FS position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
