" Green Bay seem pretty set with their starting five ahead of the 2026 season" - i know we need CB and NT, but the state of our OL, with questions among starters and bigger questions of any depth is concerning. I'd be happy with a day 2 interior OL if a good one is available. I sure like Gennings Dunker of Iowa.

Kind of a dream draft for a team with no first round pick.

Inconceivable! (With lisp.)

Yes, I know the "professionals" use all caps, too.
The pros are just as stupid.

Excessively Dopey Grade English?

Would you say that the all-caps thing has you on EDGE, I mean edge? ;-)
All the best to you, Oppy.

I'm pretty sure that's it

EDGE is some Dude’s Gratuitous Extracapitalization

Black can protect. While I agree he’s not the best runner in terms of vision or top end speed, he ticks all the LaFleur boxes. I think they will try to get him. At least LaFleur might play him if the need arises. Black is by no means a bad player, but as a runner he’s not got the greatest play making potential and upside.

I see this as pandering to coach predilections over acquiring the best talent at the position, but that’s the structural consequence of the system Policy chose to keep in place.

"Jackson @ DT will be better than orange."
I don't agree on that stock. All of the taller DTs are knocked for standing up/playing too tall.
It's a comment that you see on every taller DT. I really think Orange is the right size for what we need and has untapped potential because of how he played at Iowa State.

You are right on Zuhn, he would be a great pick because of his versatility, and he is projected to play Center which we have a need at. I like Logan Taylor as well.

That would be a fabulous draft whether you like it or not stock. I am not a Kaelon Black fan, or a RB fan at all in this draft. We are not going to be able to fill all the needs in this draft, some more FAs are going to be needed. Honestly we would be better off elevating 1 of the practice squad RBs over wasting a 5th round pick on a RB that might not make the team.

Coldworld is 100% right that we need a TE way more than we need a RB in this draft. It would be way easier to find a solid FA RB than it would be to find a good veteran TE. Roush, Royer, Bently, even Marlin Klein would be a good later pick. They can all block AND catch, let's try to get one who can do both. My trade idea of Musgrave to the Cowboys for Schoonmaker could work as well if we run out of picks.

There are 1/2 dozen really good Boundary CBs that should be available between #84 & #120. I hope to Christ Gutey doesn't wait until the 7th round again to start looking for one. If he does it again he should be reprimanded.

Van Den Berg and Jaden Dugger would be great later "Flyer" picks.

Not to nitpick but, pretty sure Nick Collin’s played Safety at Bethune Cookman

Good point on round success rates….get a CB as early as possible.

If Gutekunst doesn’t come away with at least one CB or DT it will be a major disappointment

Okay. Deep breath, because there's a lot. I disagree with basically everything you have to say here.

It's presumptive to say that Jackson will be better than Orange a week before either of them are drafted, much less see the field. In addition, Orange being higher on the consensus board, they're likely going to be asked to do different things at the next level, making "better" wholly subjective. I'll agree that Jackson shows more pass rush upside, but Orange shows more run stuffing upside. What do you want your DT to do? If you can get a two-down DT that can keep guys like Hargrave and Wyatt fresh for pass rushing downs, more's the better. Also, where are you seeing that Orange is falling, he's consistently a top 60 or 70 guy almost everywhere I look. Cite sources. That said, I could see a world where he's available at 84, but who knows.

Also... you mean you have faith in Stackhouse? It kind of undercuts your point when you can't get the player's name right. Later on, you also refer to Michael Hyde...Micah. It's Micah.

When Parsons gets back, you have him holding down one EDGE obviously, and opposite him you have Van Ness, you have Sorrell, you have Oliver, you have Cox to name a few. One of these guys will likely have to step up and start for the first few weeks. Van Ness has disappointed but put together a strong start last year when he and Parsons were both healthy. Ultimately, we don't really know what we have in Sorrell or Oliver yet due to injuries.

I would love if someone like Dani Dennis-Sutton was there at 52, but I have a hard time believing he will be. And after Sutton drops off the board, the bottom falls out of the EDGE market. LT Overton has HORRID athletic testing, and Romello Height is undersized for what they like, Max Llewellyn isn't quite as explosive as they'd prefer, Anthony Lucas is close but has short arms, and now all of a sudden, you're looking at guys outside the top 125 or 150. So, you have to wait for where guys that actually meet their thresholds are of decent value.

I'm not sure where you're getting Zuhn as a top 100 guy, as I've seen him be closer to the 120s. Also "he won't be there" is far and away the least helpful or insightful mock draft feedback that any fan can possibly offer.

Your last paragraph is pure gibberish. The depth in this draft at CB, at least for the Packers, is in rounds 3 and 4. After Hood and Johnson go, the next 5 or 6 highest ranked corners are not Packers guys. Too small, or slot only, or some combination of the above. If they don't get Hood or Johnson, the best guys they likely have a shot at are Neal, Everette, Moore, maybe Igbinosun or Muhammad if their size checks out. It's not a stellar CB draft but you can get a quality player. And really, with Nixon, Valentine, and St-Juste, and Bullard in the slot, I don't know how much field time that anyone they draft will actually be able to see. Maybe they beat out St-Juste as CB3, who knows. Either way, an improved DL and better pass rush (with healthier Wyatt and Parsons) makes the secondary better faster than the addition of another corner. A strong pass rush is a force multiplier on defense, as we saw early last year. This is not an argument against drafting one, but rather tempering expectations for their impact.

I'll grant you Black, as he's a 6th-7th round guy, but in no universe is taking Van den Berg in the 7th a reach. The guy's got athleticism for days. The 7th round is absolutely when you take dart throws on guys like that.

A Savion Williams type prospect with really short arms and wingspan but with the body size of a slot WR? Pass. We have Reed, Golden, Melton and Moore. I’d be more willing to use Moore.

There are too many hurdles to jump with drafting service acadamy players but maybe it is worth it for their last pick.

The "he can play anywhere" crap worked out very well with Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom. It has worked with others in the past as well.

Most OL coming out of college are not strong enough their first year to be a starter in the NFL. If he is good get him. They can make him stronger.

I'm not into mock drafts, but wasn't Monk basically a "center only" draft pick by the Packers? So far that hasn't seemed to work out as a plan with him.

If Orange isn't taken at 52, he will be gone by 84. Hoping for a trade back. Picking up an extra 4th. The sweet spot is from around 65 to 125.

If we don't get the type of DT we want then we move to the next guy or sign a FA. Calais Campbell @ 40 would be the 2nd best D-lineman we have on the team. Trading up wastes picks and we don't have enough as it is.
