Isabella has video game set to expert level silly speed. He's football faster than his 4.31 40.
I don't see any way Greedy Williams slides to 44. If he does then he is the pick.

Metcalf reminds me a lot of Gary. The physical talent is crazy but the production wasn't what you'd like to see. But man... Rodgers would turn him into a superstar with that speed and size.
Like he did with Janis? Not convinced. Don’t like DK Metcalf.

JAWAAN TAYLOR, OT
CODY FORD, G
DREW LOCK, QB
D.K. METCALF, WR
AJ BROWN, WR
GREG LITTLE, OT
DALTON RISNER, G
IRV SMITH, TE
HAKEEM BUTLER, WR
DEEBO SAMUEL, WR
JACE STERNBERGER, TE
JJ ARCEGA-WHITESIDE, WR
I saw Arcega-Whiteside being taken by the Pack in a R2 projection, more in place of a TE pick. Interesting prospect. Kind of reminds me of Jordy.
Jeremiah calls Arcega-Whiteside (6'2/223) a "huge asset on third down and in the red zone" and projects him as to have an "immediate impact." If you've seen him play, you know Arcega-Whiteside dominates the 50/50 balls using a unique basketball box-out technique, but some are concerned with his separation skills. With that said, Arcega-Whiteside surprised during athletic testing when he ran a 4.49 40-yard dash. It appears that there's some divide on where Arcega-Whiteside ranks in this deep wide receiver class, but he will likely be a Day 2 selection come this weekend. (Daniel Jermiah, nfl.com)
Just like Gary though, I'm not convinced Ole Miss fully realized his talent and utilized him accordingly. He could be Julio Jones IF he has the right coaching to teach him everything that Ole Miss neglected and the mental make up to hone his craft. That's the difference between good receivers and great ones, it's the attention to detail. One overlooked detail is that his father is former Bears OL Terrance Metcalf and his uncle is former Pro Bowl returner Eric Metcalf. He has some NFL bloodlines, he's not just a physical freak that came out of nowhere. He doesn't sound like a doofus in interviews, so there's a chance he could realize his talent.
I dont know how the Georgia WR Hardman will do as a WR but it would immediately fix the KO and Punt Returner problems the Packers have had.
I like AJ Brown if he’s still around when we pick.
Josh Jacobs life story really is The Pursuit Of Happiness with reversed roles. Crazy what that kids been through.
Henry posted:Herschel posted:With both 4ths gone, there's now no help coming before the back half of day three at multiple positions. They have no depth at multiple spots, which is concerning because injuries happen. The defensive backfield is paper thin, for example.
I feel better about the oline with Madison and Turner in the fold but there better be a 2nd or 3rd round oline pick.
I hear you, but that means no TE or D-back or WR, etc. until round 5 and how far would they want to trade back in any of these rounds?
The hot takes from last night - fantastic. I wish I could send a few of you guys some of my blood pressure pills & a valium (though I don't have those on hand).

I was just coming here to post that. The fact Gutey moved up 9 spots in round 1 & STILL has both 2nd & 3rd rounders is remarkable.
Rosen to Dolphins finalized for #48?

Opioids and booze for me please!
ESPN Round 2 mock...
33. Arizona Cardinals
Greedy Williams, CB, LSU | Highlights
Free-agent signing Robert Alford was released by Atlanta after a disappointing season. Williams is a good fit for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's press scheme and a good value here.
34. Indianapolis Colts (from NYJ)
Chase Winovich, DE, Michigan | Highlights
The Colts signed Justin Houston, but that shouldn't stop them from continuing to upgrade a pass rush that tied for 19th in the NFL with 38 sacks last year. Winovich is a twitchy pass-rusher with an array of pass-rush moves.
35. Oakland Raiders
Byron Murphy, CB, Washington | Highlights
Corner is a top-three need for the Raiders, and Murphy is too good a value to pass up at this point in the draft.
36. San Francisco 49ers
Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina | Highlights
San Francisco was the only team that didn't have a wide receiver with 500 or more receiving yards in 2018, and Samuel is the best receiver on the board.
37. Seattle Seahawks (from NYG)
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple | Highlights
Shaquill Griffin took over Richard Sherman's left corner spot and struggled at times last year. Ya-Sin is a perfect fit for Seattle's scheme, and he's capable of competing for a starting role as a rookie.
38. Jacksonville Jaguars
Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma | Highlights
The Jaguars made right tackle Jermey Parnell a cap casualty, and Ford is a nasty run-blocker who projects as a rookie starter.
39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware | Highlights
Ideally, one of the three corners that has come off the board in this mock falls to the Buccaneers, but Adderley is a good value here instead. A Tampa Bay defense that ranked 26th in passing yards allowed per game started five different players at safety last year.
40. Buffalo Bills
Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama | Highlights
The Bills ranked 31st in passing yards per game last year and they released Charles Clay. Adding Smith gives young quarterback Josh Allen a playmaker over the middle.
41. Denver Broncos
Drew Lock, QB, Missouri | Highlights
There was some speculation that the Broncos would take Lock in the first round. They get him in the second round in this scenario, and he could push 34-year-old Joe Flacco for the starting job sooner rather than later.
42. Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss | Highlights
John Ross hasn't lived up to expectations, and Brown has the skill set to push him for the No. 3 role.
43. Detroit Lions
Joejuan Williams, CB, Vanderbilt | Highlights
Detroit has a No. 1 corner in Darius Slay, but it's unclear who will start opposite him.
44. Green Bay Packers
Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida | Highlights
Thirty-year-old right tackle Bryan Bulaga has played in all 16 games of a season just twice in his eight-year career. Taylor is the No. 10 overall player on our board, making him a steal if he slides this far.
45. Los Angeles Rams (from ATL)
Erik McCoy, C, Texas A&M | Highlights
The Rams didn't pick up John Sullivan's option, and McCoy is a good value at this point in the draft.
46. Indianapolis Colts (from WSH)
JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford | Highlights
The Colts signed Devin Funchess this offseason, but it's a one-year deal and they need depth. Arcega-Whiteside has the potential to develop into an excellent complement to T.Y. Hilton, and he has outstanding football character.
47. Carolina Panthers
DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss | Highlights
Adding Metcalf gives the Panthers a big deep threat who makes it tough to stack the box in an effort to slow running back Christian McCaffrey, and helps create space for receiver DJ Moore.
48. Miami Dolphins
Ryan Finley, QB, NC State | Highlights
The Dolphins traded Ryan Tannehill to the Titans, and 36-year-old free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't the long-term answer.
49. Cleveland Browns
Justin Layne, CB, Michigan St. | Highlights
Denzel Ward is a shutdown corner when he's healthy, but he suffered two concussions at the end of season. Terrance Mitchell missed eight games with a broken wrist and T.J. Carrie is at his best lining up over the slot. Layne would be a big help.
50. Minnesota Vikings
Miles Sanders, RB, Penn State | Highlights
Dalvin Cook fantasy owners will likely hate this pick, but the Vikings need to add depth behind him. Sanders is a good value at this point.
51. Tennessee Titans
Connor McGovern, G, Penn State | Highlights
The Titans could take a receiver here, but they need a player who can compete for the starting right guard spot, and McGovern fits the bill. He's also versatile enough to play center.
52. Denver Broncos (from PIT)
Taylor Rapp, S, Washington | Highlights
Justin Simmons enters a contract year and Darian Stewart was a cap casualty. Rapp has dropped this far because he didn't run well, but his instincts, athletic ability and ball skills make him a good fit for Denver's new scheme.
53. Philadelphia Eagles (from BAL)
Julian Love, CB, Notre Dame | Highlights
No Philadelphia corner started more than nine games last year, and the Eagles finished the season ranked 30th in passing yards allowed per game.
54. Houston Texans (from SEA)
Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State | Highlights
Right tackle Seantrel Henderson missed the final 15 games last year with a broken ankle and hasn't played in all 16 games of a season since his rookie season of 2014. The Texans got a left tackle in the first round, and they get a right tackle in the second in this scenario.
55. Houston Texans
Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB, Kentucky | Highlights
The Texans finished 2018 ranked 28th in passing yards allowed per game. Houston signed Bradley Roby to just a one-year deal and Johnathan Joseph just turned 35.
56. New England Patriots (from CHI)
Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Louisiana Tech | Highlights
The Patriots signed Michael Bennett, but Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborndeparted via free agency. Ferguson is the best available defensive end.
57. Philadelphia Eagles
Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M | Highlights
Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles remain unsigned. The Eagles traded for Jordan Howard, but he's in a contract year and Williams would be an excellent complement.
58. Dallas Cowboys
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida | Highlights
Gardner-Johnson is a versatile defensive back capable of pushing for the nickelback role as a rookie and developing into a starting safety in time.
59. Indianapolis Colts
Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State | Highlights
The Colts should be looking to add depth behind Margus Hunt and Denico Autry. Jones is an ascending talent who had his best season in 2018.
60. Los Angeles Chargers
Max Scharping, OT, Northern Illinois | Highlights
The Chargers need a right tackle to push Sam Tevi for the starting job, and Scharping fits the bill.
61. Kansas City Chiefs
Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State | Highlights
Campbell is an excellent value at this point. Andy Reid will find creative ways to make the most of his considerable talent and skill set.
62. New Orleans Saints
Elgton Jenkins, C, Mississippi St. | Highlights
Max Unger retired, and Jenkins projects as plug-and-play starter at center.
63. Kansas City Chiefs (from LAR)
Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia | Highlights
Safety Eric Berry was a cap casualty, fellow safety Eric Murray was traded and corner Steve Nelson signed with Pittsburgh. The Chiefs did bring in Bashaud Breeland, but on just a one-year deal. Thornhill is a versatile defensive back who could play corner or safety depending upon need.
64. New England Patriots
Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M | Highlights
Rob Gronkowski retired, and Dwayne Allen signed with Miami. Free-agent signing Austin Seferian-Jenkins has yet to play in all 16 games of a season, so Sternberger could have a decent role right away.
If I'm Gutey, I'm likely trading down from 44 to maybe 49 or 50 and I get back one of my 4ths. There is plenty of talent in the 2nd round that there isn't a need for the Packers to stay at 44.
Lots of options and you get one of your picks back:
