    The Packers do not pick the next hyped big thing as far as QB's. The Packers have only drafted two heismen winning players in 101 years.

    Glad I didn't stay up to see who the Pat's would draft. They traded their pick. Thrilling.

    I hope so. The commentators were positive at least.

    Had a guy on my college team..a 1AA team 25 years ago that Belichick came and scouted. Said he was the best defensive back in the draft. A 1aa player.....a lot of teams laughed. Guy went on to be a perennial all pro in the NFL. The guy knows what he is doing.

    You're right. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. I'm sure that kid has worked real hard. Who was the player your talking about?

    Ok.... I can kind of understand the QB pick, but what are they doing taking an RB? Aaron Jones could be an elite RB! Draft Rodgers another WR.

    I dont think many were left on the board. I hope Dillon gets to play. I liked watching him with BC and hope he does well.

    The Vikings have 13 picks today. That is absurd.

    The way things are done in Green Bay is confusing to fans of other teams that got their ass swept last season in the division.

    They had one of the worst drafts of any team this year based on need and potential to help them win while Rodgers is still there.

    Want to bet a 6 pack or $15 that Vikes have a better record if they actually play? I know you’re good for it unlike the other dude.

    According to the smartest of smart NFL “experts” the Vikings had the best draft in the league, while the Packers are in the bottom 5, with many saying they were the worst.

    Bring on the 2020 season. Can’t wait to watch the Vikings dominate the NFC North.

    Packers :lol: :lol: :lol:

    “Overview: To explain away this sorry excuse for a draft, GM Brian Gutekunst went into damage-control mode after day two by passing the buck onto second-year coach Matt LaFleur. “He’s talked to you guys repeatedly about how much he’d like to run the ball and have the pass work off that,” Gutekunst told reporters. “Matt really wants to tie everything to the run game and off the run game, and these guys will help us do that.” Not only did LaFleur potentially alienate the franchise’s most valuable player by trading up for a turnover-prone project quarterback in the first round, LaFleur’s obsession with outdated offense influenced the team to severely overdraft two-down banger Dillon and H-back/fullback Deguara with its remaining top-100 picks. Including the fourth-rounder (No. 136) surrendered to move up for Love, the Packers spent their top-four selections on three backups/role players. Due to a troubling history of knee injuries and pass-coverage limitations, Martin was a projected undrafted free agent. Runyan’s short arms and small hands foreshadow a move from tackle to guard. Hanson lacks power, length, and athleticism. Even if Love develops into a franchise quarterback, the process behind his selection and most of the rest of this draft was dubious at best and downright irresponsible at worst.
