I've read 13-15, coincidentally.

Top tier is thin but the second tier is supposed to be pretty big, into RD3.

Peter Bukowski pointed out how big it is - the swap of firsts - because now that's more value for the Packers to acquire when trading down.

If it's true the "meat" of this draft is the second tier, they're probably trading down. Maybe get another "Jaire" deal. Or drop a couple spots and pickup a third, 2nd rounder.

More picks in the 2nd tier means more chances to score on difference makers.

I don't know about McKee...I think I'd rather have a more athletic QB than a pure pocket passer backing up Love. A guy with his size should have a cannon for an arm, but it doesn't seem like he does.

He had a 2:1 TD-to-Interception ratio, and his best number of TD's was only 15. Was that a putrid offense at Stanford with no weapons or protection? Maybe...

The Stanford team had a lot of injuries and went to absolute crap around him. I think heโ€™s mobile enough to be a solid QB.

My big draft crush this year is Jack Campbell. Dude is a run stopping beast, yet he can run and cover a bit. Put him alongside Quay and we are set for a decade. Year 1 he can destroy guys on special teams.

Until last year that may have required a drug test but if Gutekunst has a three-year rebuilding plan that extra #2 as a luxury pick wouldnโ€™t be the worst thing.. D. Campbell regressed last year, as well.

My 2nd round luxury pick has been DJ Turner from Michigan at corner. They may well not be very good this year overall, so why not go for just good players with some picks.

It has taken decades. But that might be the first smart thing you have posted.

Whew!! ๐Ÿ˜…- Does that get both of us out of the Abdul "butcher" Hodge debacle?

Just saw a mock of Stroud going #11 after his test score was released.

The S2 seems to be a better way of judging a player's ability to read and react to what they see. Stroud supposedly had a great score, which is why he released it as a counter to his negatives. The S2 is probably just the first of technological analysis programs that players will have to undergo in the future.

I can see teams starting to use the S2 to monitor their QB's processing speed and reaction time as they age. In his prime, Rodgers would have been off the charts on his S2, but I also think it would have dropped in the past couple of years.

From an article about the S2:

"How does the S2 Cognition test work? The test, which replaced the Wonderlic, has nine different segments, all of which are graded separately (sort of like the SAT). The measurements used in each section include a quarterback's ability to track multiple objects, make complex decisions, and filter through if/then scenarios with different defensive scenarios -- with an ability to improvise. The test takes 45 minutes and is run through a gaming laptop, ultimately measuring a players' ability to quickly dissect information that appears on the screen in front of them."

The company that runs the S2 said this year's scores that were leaked to the media were not all accurate, that a couple were early scores and without context. Which ones that referred to he didn't say. I could see scores affected either way if a guy did or didn't play a lot of video games. But, last year Brock Purdy's score was super high, and we know that he turned out pretty well.
