Mazrimiv Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 If GB stays at 25, my draft day guess is that DeJean will be off the board along with Gute's preferred OL, and the pick will be Kool-Aid or Wiggins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggins is probably the only guy in this draft that i would be bummed out about if we take him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R T Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Harbaugh blows up the draft by taking JJ McCarthy with the 5th overall pick and trades Herbert to the Vikings for their two 1sts and some future picks. And the NFC North get ridiculously competitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Summary of my reactions for tonight: Thrilled we traded up to 16-20 and got: Fashanu, Murphy, Arnold or Verse. Thrilled we traded up a few spots or stayed at 25 and got: DeJean, Barton or Fautanu. Happy at 25 we got: Newton, McKinstry Content at 25 we got: Mims, Suamataia, Darius Robinson Surprised but actually content at 25 we got: Chop Robinson, Wiggins Slightly disappointed at 25 we got: Guyton Surprised and slightly disappointed at 25 we got: anyone else without some sort of trade back first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the NFC North get ridiculously competitive. I've seen this general idea posted elsewhere, and to a degree I actually think it makes sense for both sides. What would really be interesting would be for LAC to trade Hebert to MIN, trade #5 to the highest bidder for another pick haul, then target Penix with one of the picks they received.

And the NFC North get ridiculously competitive. It would take a boat load of picks .. 3 - 1sts plus to get Herbert and the Vikings still have to absorb his 52 million dollar salary. It would give them a qb but at a huge, very high cost. Fine with me .. let them go down in salary cap flames without draft choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R T Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 This^ The whole draft cottage industry starts with making a grocery list of a team's needs and then claiming they need to draft those positions. Well run teams trust their boards and draft the best player on their boards regardless of position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I am going to die of laughter if we pass on DeJean. Im so tired of EVERY Packer personality clamoring for him ( and I don’t want him). This has been the best example of how draft coverage is group think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to focusing on current team needs when looking at the draft. That being said, I think need is a factor when Gute builds his board, and need intersects with availability as often as not when GB is on the clock.

"BPA" shouldn't be viewed in a true literal sense of "this guy is the best player regardless of position." BPA, for purposes of the draft, is better described as "BVA" where best player takes into account positional value (i.e. an OT over an OC or CB over WR), and to a lesser degree, need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 It's not a clear linear list. NFL teams generally don't do a "big board" like that. It's not always clear, at any pick, who the "best player available" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
