Official 2020 Draft Thread

LOL, and those guys were paid for their opinion. What a bunch of idots....

Brohm threw 53 passes in the NFL. 0 TDs and 5 interceptions. He threw 137 passes in the CFL and threw 1 TD and 5 interceptions. 

He threw 141 passes in NFL preseason games and managed to throw 5 interceptions against 0 TDs.

He was awful and you could tell he was awful within about 2 preseason games. 

At the time of the 2008 NFL draft, Rodgers had already played a lot of preseason games and gone 59-98 with 6 TDs and 1 interception. More importantly, he came in against the Cowboys on that Thursday night game in 2007 and looked really good in a tough spot. That was the point I was convinced he was going to be decent. You couldn't extrapolate he was going to be top 10 or 20 all-time, but you could tell he wasn't going to be the Whitehurst, Randy Wright, Rich Campbell type of QB we suffered with in the 80s. 

These guys knew all this at that point and were talking like Rodgers was going to be a bust. 

Whether it's sports or political commentary, it doesn't matter if you're good, it just matters how outrageous you are. There was a lot of Twitter comments today remarking how Skip Bayless said at the 2014 draft that Johnny Manziel was going to have a bigger effect on Cleveland sports than LeBron James.

People that make these types of predictions should be ridiculed and fired, not promoted. The same goes for Stephen A. Smith. 

He didn't say it was going to be a positive effect....

The Vikes' biggest problem is they have no cap space, and already lost key starters...

They had to renegotiate players' contracts to get under the cap and then lost some of those key players. They also have Spielman as GM. Can we spell c-l-u-s-t-e-r-f------?

I say we bring this back. Not only would satisfy the lust for satisfaction, but can be a fund-raiser as well. I would thoroughly enjoy spending a few dollars a month doing it!

I could use that for my son.  

Ian Rappoport just said Packers are burning up phone lines to try & trade up

So everyone will be guessing who Gutey is targeting, then they all jump their board and Gutey gets his guy to fall in his lap. 

I wonder if this draft is going to go faster since they don't have the crowds to play up to? Unless they are using fax machines.

I remember sitting in a meeting in the early 80s and the person running it mentioned getting orders by fax. I asked what a fax was. Now, they have been outdated so long, that question still applies. 

Just the fax, ma'am.

and F*** the Bears

In 1996, the Baltimore Ravens fucked Green Bay by snarfing Ray Lewis just ahead of us.  His presence on defense would have been invaluable (Forget his personal life, that dude was a MAN on the field). 

Fast forward 24 years... if Kenneth Murray falls, the Packers need to trade up and snag this dude ahead of Baltimore.  Fuck those guys.

So he had a guy murdered. Not a big deal.

Maybe it’s just me, but Mel Kiper looks like one of the aliens from Mars Attacks!

Ack....Ack-ack!

Quick, play some Slim Whitman.

Michael Irvin looking especially tuned up.

I have a funny feeling the Packers will take ILB Logan Wilson out of Wyoming today with the 2nd round pick. Just a hunch.

That's the dude I want GB to take.  I think he's a true 3-down LBer.  We can get a WR later.  

i believe Raekon Davis is going to be their pic in the 2nd or 3rd round. . Which means they will probably take Mason Crosbys replacement. 

Packers scouts seem to love Mountain West Conference players. Before anyone shits on this pick (IF it happens), consider one of the top ILB in the league, Bobby Wagner, came from a MWC school. He's not gonna wow you with speed, but he's also not going to miss many tackles or play many bad angles.

If he played at a Big 10 school, I think he'd be in the conversation to be a 1st rounder.

Anybody that shits on taking a guy like Logan Wilson hasn't been paying attention.  That kid is what GB needs in the middle. 

Troy Dye is the next guy I want there out of Oregon.  A bit undersized but he is stellar in coverage from the ILB position and a pretty tough kid.  

I'm skeptical that Wilson will be there to pick at 62, I would be down with that.  I like Willie Gay Jr a lot as well...

Anybody like the Davis-Gaither kid in R2?

Might be a tad early at 62, but unlikely to make it to 94...

If Wilson or Baun is there at 62, I'd take them. If neither are and a solid WR is (Claypool, Higgins, etc) I'd go WR in 2 and come back to LB in 3rd...

Davis-Gaither is a dude...but he won't be there in R3 when we pick...he's recovering from an injury though so he might not be ready for this season (IF there is a season)...not sure he's a 3 down LB, but he's a tackling machine. More like a big safety than a LB. Another kid I really like is Jeremy Chinn who could also fit that role...but he may well be gone by the time we pick in R2.

This whole hybrid LB/S thing GB has going on needs to fucking stop.  It doesn't work and the middle of the defense continues to suck.  Get some damn dogs in there that can thump and run. 

If they stay at 62 and go WR I think they could get Hamler, Shenault, Peoples-Jones, or V.Jefferson. If they go ILB in R2 I like Harrison, Wilson, or Davis-Gaither. 

There will be very good WRs in R3: T.Johnson, Q.Davis, Claypool, Duverney 

The last player in the world I want now is Shenault.  He'd be like a Gary/Love love child who the team feels could be converted into a CB.

Guys & Gals.....

Packers have 2 picks today & 6 picks tomorrow. 

I have to believe Gutey will be using some of that Day 3 ammo to move up if the situation presents itself. 

It's also very possible to jump back into early/middle of round 4 if nothing happens today. 

The REAL drafting starts in about 69 minutes

Don't agree with what you wrote, but gebins on the GIF.

I'd prefer Hamler, People-Jones and V.Johnson ahead of Shenault, but he upgrades the roster.

I'd like to see 3 or 4 picks today, some how. The hell with tomorrow. Get 4 impact players today and the guys already under contract can become ST depth.  

Bakhtiari minutes you say?

Madubuike.

He's a dog.

AJ Dillon...Yes! There is a difference maker...love the pick.
