Otherwise, all this trading around made no sense at all. If Edmunds or James ends up being a difference maker, and Alexander doesn’t, this was a mistake. Even though the Packers came out with New Orleans’ 2019 first-rounder, they more than anything need a playmaker on defense. They can’t afford to have passed on a good player for future draft capital, especially at the cost of a third-rounder this year to move back up from 27 to 18. I’m a little skeptical even though they got a late No. 1 in 2019. Is the Packers’ roster good enough to be pushing players into the 2019 draft at the expense of this year? https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2018/04/26/packers-trades-nfl-draft-future/555731002/ We've still a number of needs and now have no Round 3 selection. So either we're gonna package a whole bunch of those back end selections go get back to where the gettings good - or we're hoping alot of difference makers will exist on Day 3 - which I'm not sure has always been the case. An extra #1 in 2019 is great - but - its with a pretty decent team (not a bottom feeder) and it took us out of claiming difference makers in this years draft. Remaining selections: Round 2 - 45 Round 4 - 101 + 133 Round 5 - 138 + 147 + 172 + 174 Round 6 - 207 Round 7 - 232 + 239 + 248 That pretty much sums it up for me. I am fine with Alexander though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of teams short on picks this year that would like to get more. Better check a value chart. It's gonna take a lot of lower picks and a partner willing to fall for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have preferred Edmunds (but thats a personal problem I'll get over eventually......) - I'm just concerned we dont currently have enough "high end" selections to nab actual difference makers - as opposed to backups / depth / practice squad guys - and IMO we need more than backups / depth / practice squad guys to get into a SB. Listen - I'm the last person to talk to about the talented monsters that exist down the draft chart. I've no clue - so I'll just hope they exist and we select them.

I'm not even going to harp on blue chip vs impact vs whatever. I'm just talking starters. CM3, Cobb, HHCD, Wilkerson, House, Kendricks, possibly Tramon. If Gute can fill all these holes with a bucketload of 5th and 7th rounders, and pushing assets forward, all the more power to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean (again) the 2019 #1 is nice - but thats in 2019 - and we lost our #3 in order to get back to 18..................................................................................................

Our talent level was exposed. TT played longsighted for how long and look where it got us. Just when I thought we had a guy that was aggressive enough to gather premium picks to replenish the roster, we are back hoarding 5th and 7th round picks as if they were gold. Get back to me on how you feel between pick 45 and pick 101. Yep 56 guys will come off the board and as of now, we will get 0 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaegybomb Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Shut the **** up with that ****. Our backup QB was exposed but our roster is one of the best in the league. We swapped the face to appease the shortsighted crybabies but the same handful of guys are still making the decisions as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Williams, Hernandez, Josh Jackson, Isaiah Oliver, Landry, Hurst, Bates, Guice, Reid. Personally I hope they go Oliver and Guice Don’t forget WR and TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood and not a point of arguement from me - so long as we can get back into the 3rd (or lower 2nd) to fill out our needs for this seasons roster. I dont want to go from round 2 to round 4 with the number of roster spots we need to address - again - for the 2018 team. If we can do that - get back in the 3rd - the move was masterful. If we cant - it challenges us to fill our current roster holes with truly productive players. Nothings set in stone yet - only one round down - but we've currently only got one round 2 selection - then go on vacation until round 4 - which could be problematic.
