It's only Tuesday. 😆
Already had some posts about the draft - it's in Green Bay this year.
Trade up for a dominant WR1, draft DB’s round 3 or later cuz the ones we do draft high play like day 3 players anyway
A bona fide pass rusher has to be at the top of Gute’s list. Either through FA or the draft. Pressure on the QB makes the entire backend better.

Yes, We saw what a pass rush did for Detroit, vs the vikings. Also, for a while, the vikings pass rush was disruptive against the Lions. Since both those teams are in our division, we can see how a strong pass rush worked against both teams. Gute's focus, in the Draft and in FA, should be on doing what it takes to win the North. No more of this 1-5 crap. Time to dominate! Pass rushers have to be at the top of the list, and a speedy, deep threat WR, right behind it.
PRESSURE. PRESSURE. PRESSURE!!!
Make the QB move off his mark and Kevin King would have a shot at the Pro bowl!
Haven't seen any rankings yet, but I'm fairly confident Gute will draft a CB or DT/DE in Round 1. He do what he do.
It appears to be a good year for edge rushers, at least, and OT looks pretty decent, as does corner.

Assuming you missed a "g" there but the draft is in Green Bay. Wondering if Gute will make a splash and trade up if he sees high value in 1 of the players.
From what I can tell this is a weak draft overall so more picks might be on tap again.
Entire 7th round is Packers!😁
1- Corner
2- WR
3- Punter
4- Oline
5- Small school D tackle
6- CB
7- CB

I'm not so sure. It'll be interesting to see if he or Jared Ivey test better as they're similar players. He doesn't quite have an elite first step and he doesn't have great bend being as large as he is.
Guys like Abdul Carter and Dani Sutton from Penn State, James Pearce from Tennessee, Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker from Georgia, Mike Green from Marshall, Donovan Ezeiruaku from BC, Princely Umanmielen from Mississippi and Josiah Stewart from Michigan all have better get-off, and the Ohio State guys may also be in play. Walker should probably go to a 3-4 team due to his size , he's a fair bit like Nolan Smith before him, but the rest should be big enough to play hand-down DE.

Are you crazy? No way they wait till 5th round for the small school dt/de! Gute will trade up for one.
I wouldn't mind trading a pick(s) for an impact player (especially on D). There seems to be this thought that a team can never have too many picks. I don't necessarily subscribe to this,(but I'm just a fan). Gute's track record in the draft with high picks is (like most GMs), hit or miss. But the high picks on defense haven't been that great. If there are some impact defensive players available, I would hope he'd at least consider.

Maxx Crosby please. Won’t happen, but it would be fun.
