At this point in the draft I am kinda hoping for linebackers and safety’s to help on special teams.
ILB is solved!
He could be a good backup guard, which is all you can hope for at the end of the draft. We have a stockpile of interior lineman now.
Described as a "poor man's Oren Burks"
Our starting ILB for 2021 is Isaiah McDuffie. Mission accomplished. 107 tackles and a pick last season.
Isaiah McDuffie LB, BC
Height: 6-1, Weight: 224
Short-area quickness is impressive. Range and hitting skill too. Reliable tackler and brings it as a blitzer. Has the athletic traits to become a good coverage linebacker. Green Bay had to add to its LB room.
There's the ILB!!! GB is officially set at the position until round 6 2022.
Assuming Trey Smith, teams are terrified of the blood clots?? I guess?
Best available as we approach RD7 #NFLDraft

If Gute can steal Dylan Moses on a flyer in rd 7, he can call it a weekend. We should all buy him a shot, for inspite of what our prima donna QB thinks, Gute has had a hell of a weekend

Homer!

Solid single at least.
Chiefs took Trey Smith. Pretty good value if he plays

Mark Tauscher would like a word with you.
Tausch was a hell of an exception.
Players come and go, the GBP franchise endures.
Moses goes undrafted. Wow.
Lions end up with the guy I'd guessed the Packers would take in Jermar Jefferson
.
Okay, Gutey, go get Trill Williams and Tariq Thompson, along with a couple of D-linemen.
RB Jermar Jefferson falls to the Loins with the next to next to last pick.
Was hoping the Packers would have a shot him as an UDFA.
Damn stinkin' Loins.
I like a lot of what the Lions did.
- Round 1: No. 7 – Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
- Round 2: No. 41 – Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
- Round 3: No. 72 – Alim McNeill, DT, NC State
- Round 3: No. 101 (from LAR) – Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse
- Round 4: No. 112 – Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC
- Round 4: No. 113 (from CAR through CLE) – Derrick Barnes, LB, Purdue
- Round 7: No. 257 (from BUF through CLE) – Jermar Jefferson, RB, Oregon State
Overall, I'll say it was a pretty good draft by the Packers.
If some of these guys will just pan out....
OL and RB are probably our deepest positions on offense.
We should be good at TE/WR, barring injury.
I'd guess we still need a 3rd QB.
Still need help at DL and LB on defense.
CB/S is pretty deep for the moment. They are likely to be the strength of the defense (again).

Wish list from UDFAs:
Kuony Deng LB California
Amari Gainer LB Florida State
Trill Williams DB Syracuse
Marvin Wilson DT Florida State
Tariq Thompson S San Diego State
Hamilcar Rached Jr Edge Oregon State (if for name only)
Forrest Merrill DT AR State
Jamar Watson Edge Kentucky
Charles Snowden Edge Virginia
Olaijah Griffin CB USC
There aren't many DTs who weren't drafted, and not that many were drafted. Might have to cough up a few dollars as a signing bonus for them.

So what. Lions are always drafting in the top 10 every year and they still suck. Why will this draft be any different?

Any UDFAs signed yet?
Don't we usually have a separate thread for UDFAs?
Unconfirmed list of GB UDfA’s thus far:
- Christian Uphoff, S, Illinois State (source: Brad Biggs)
- Jack Heflin, DT, Iowa (source: Tom Pelissero)
- Carlo Kemp, DT, Michigan (source: Tom Silverstein)
- Bailey Gaither, WR, San Jose State (source: San Jose State Football)
- Jon Dietzen, OL, Wisconsin (source: Wisconsin Football)
Uphoff is intriguing. Condensed scouting report. Tall physical plus athlete at S that hasn’t figured out how to play football. Projected as a 5th rounder.
Seems like there’s a lot to work with though. Good project for the coaches.
Gutenhootchie really showed he' not ready for the big chair this weekend. He signed an accounting intern. Maybe he's an "Emotional Support Bro" for Opie. His name is Bailey Gaither, fer cripesake. That's the frat treasurer not a football player.
