projected 4-5 round, Gutes showing he's the smartest guy in the room again

starting kick returner

Packers already have a kick returner

Looks like Reed has great hands, good ball skills/awareness.

It isn't Gutey's fault Mingo was taken way early in round 2. Gutey is keeping to the script. Maybe this pick will light a fire under Toure.

CBS sports gave an A on their last pick, for what’s that’s worth

One of the guys he had a draft crush on.

"Crafty route runner and has plus speed. Gets open routinely, flashes after the catch, and tracks the football tremendously. Contested-catch winner".

That’s true. But everything was an adventure with Keisean Nixon on punt returns.
Reed is a dynamic punt returner. He's had a 93-yard punt return TD and an 88-yard PR TD.

But is Love going to trust him?

It’s all about the hand signals

Can he interpret hand signals

A good pick then?

Got that TE and WR in R2.

Perfect.

Chargers drafted Nick Perry

Love can say he didn't see him.

Lots of trades this draft. It seems like more than previous years?

@Herschel posted:

More of a skinny Amari Rodgers/Randall Cobb. He's pretty small for Green Bay, with return skills.

That 10 yard split and punt return skills is hardly Amari Rodgers like.

Apparently including GB.

Five tight ends now gone, Georgia's monster Darnell Washington is still on the board. As we said earlier, some teams have concerns over his medical.

Their scouting reports are eerily similar.

• Highly competitive against bigger/stronger Ohio State corners in 2022.
• Accelerates to his top speed in a hurry.
• Keeps routes moving at an elevated tempo.
• Good ball skills to track and time the deep throw.
• Clever hands and positioning help carve out catch space.
• Makes winning plays on back-shoulder throws.
• Can be elusive when needed after the catch.
• Has three career punt return touchdowns.

Colts select Julius Brents whoever that is

We'll never forget you Brents!

Hopefully the similarities end there.

Bengals get a good CB in Turner

Fuck the Bengals.

Hope we get an OL or S next.

There are about 3 guys on this board that will criticize every Packer draft choice. Every single one.  They must think the Packers should call them before turning in the card.

i want washington bad. i want another te

Twitter awash with rumors Washington has a medical issue… knee

Foot

Hard to hate the Lions draft tonight. Some are over drafted but Lions fans should be excited.

@Goalline posted:

Foot

Wonder if it's a lisfranc type injury. Those can scare teams because they tend to re-injure themselves again with the same issue.

Plus he’s a giant motherfucker…those foot injuries are more complicated the heavier you are.

I’m guessing we either take Washington or a Safety.

Some Packers types still on the board:

Tucker Kraft
Cory Trice Jr
Isaiah McGuire
Israel Abanikanda
Ricky Stromberg
Dontayvion Wicks
Zach Kuntz
Josh Whyle

Packers pick in 3 picks.

Washington’s injury concern is apparently with a knee.

From that Herman list, McGuire.

I pray that whenever Kuntz is drafted,  Tucker Carlson announces it.

PACKERS ON THE CLOCK
