How about Trice out of Purdue for SS potential?
Carrington Valentine (CB Kentucky).
Struggles in zone.
And Joe Barry is the defensive coordinator.
I like it. What could go wrong?
Ballantine and Valentine in the same DB room is too confusing.

Either that or add one in FA. Is Amos still out there? I know quite a few folks thought Branch may end up in GB. Obviously, that wasn't in their plans.
Anthony Johnson.
Guess weāre using all 13 picks. Guessing this is the most for GB since the draft was reduced to 7 rounds. Anyone know?
This roster needs to get younger. More bodies, please.
I didn't think there was any way in hell that Gute was actually going to use all 13 of these picks. He very well could have tried, and the value wasn't there, but I thought for sure he was going to move back into the 4th RD for someone they had targeted.
Gonna' churn that roster. Can you say you're "rebuilding" without saying that you're rebuilding...
Ghana pick.
Moro Ojomo, Defensive Taco.
Grant DuBose, WR Charlotte. Fits the size profile well.

Gute aināt hard to find
Other than Clifford this felt like best player on their board for 3 days.
First draft in 31 years without a HOF QB starting.
Unless it wasnāt.
The future is a beautiful mystery, isn't it?
Congrats on all picks and I hope you know youāre a part of the NFL team that has the most championships. Time to work for 14!
Reed will bring a ton of value with his versatility and return skills. Van Ness may take a year or two but I think he's going to be a beast. He has everything he needs dominate. If Gute hit on both TEs, look out. I also love drafting two DL to add to the mix. Not taking an OL was odd with all those picks GB had. I don't like the QB from things I've read about him but it's whatever.

Not taking any OL was odd. I think we will be fine at tackle with some depth but I donāt like the thought of Hanson and Newman being our top backups on the inside. Hopefully others will emerge there.
This video of the phone call from Cowboys assistant director of college scouting Chris Vaughn to his son - Kansas State RB Deuce Vaughn - when the team picked him today is so awesome.

Iām not usually one to think I know all the players, their potential draft spot or the worth of that choice, butā¦..Clifford in the fifth and Max Duggan in the seventh.
To me, one looks like he has āITā, one doesnāt. Duggan looks like a winner, Clifford?
Meh

GB normally takes several of them. In his presser, Gute stated that after the first several OL were off the board, he was concerned that none of the draft picks would make the roster because of the quality depth already on the team.

Interesting. I wonder who they are thinking the backup guards and center will be....
Did we ever figure out why Sean Rhyan was so quiet last season? I'm hoping he figures it out and can turn the corner in year 2.

Free agency is our only hope. A mid-level vet or a Rasul Douglas type find.
Andrew Brandt on the Lions draft:
The Lions used their two first round picks to draft a running back and an inside linebacker, two traditionally low value positions. The draft gives teams a financial advantage with high value positions such as quarterback, defensive line, offensive tackle, and even wide receiver. But for those other positions? I just donāt get it.
Inactive and then suspended.
If he was a government worker, heād still be getting paid. š
but don't you mean teaching?
For people who like to bash our shitty GMās.

Loins basically dumped their dynamic duo running back tandem. They might be the media darlings in the NFC this year but the Loins gonna Loin!

And now you know why the Packers have dominated the NFC North for so long. Packers ranked 5th in CAVOE while the Lions were 18th, Vikings 19th and Bears 21st.
From Today's New York Times:
Some teams draft the best available athletes. Others draft for need. The Packers may be the first N.F.L. team to draft for spite. Having finally traded Rodgers to the Jets at the start of the week, the Packers assembled a draft class that appeared tailored to make Rodgers jealous.
The Packers added three pass catchers on Friday evening: Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave (42nd overall), Michigan State receiver Jayden Reed (50th) and South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft (78th). The Packers chose Musgrave, a 6-foot-6 target of the type Rodgers prefers, one spot ahead of the Jets, using one of the picks they acquired in the Rodgers trade.
The Packers were depleted at tight end, and they needed to rebuild their offense for their new starting quarterback, Jordan Love, so of course they did not really select three versatile playmakers as the football equivalent of wearing a white dress to an ex-spouseās wedding.
Still, the Jets had a rather quiet weekend ā their picks included defensive end Will McDonald IV, center Joe Tippmann and offensive tackle Carter Warren, who are fine additions but not headline-grabbers ā while the Packers cheerfully embraced a future without Rodgers.
Living well, after all, is the best revenge.
this the typical lazy take

TLDR
This is interesting. Jets are ticked off.
Sounds like the Jets want to win a title but they feel they are ENtitled. The nerve of the Patriots trading with Pittsburgh to pick a player the Jets wanted.
Sure seemed like Bill wanted Van Ness and got pissed when we nabbed him, just like he thought Clay Matthews was gonna be something long ago.
