I’m all-in!

We’re going to have a lot to celebrate tonight, tomorrow & Saturday.

If you’ve never pounded in on CHTV’s Draft Party, I highly recommend your jumping on in. Superfun watching it go down with friends here and the CHTV crew. A number of super high quality surprise guests too.

Fun Factor +11.

The diabolical side of me wants the Packers to draft a Kicker just to see Corey turn into that Stranger Things gooey, smokey, bubbly portal center.

Bloody Mary. Check. Beer. Check. Meat. Check. Grill. Check. Snacks. Check. CHTV. Check.
What time is it? I might not make it.

Thanks for the invite Nags but Gute just FaceTimed me and "ordered" me to be in the draft room with him and the rest of the posse. Heading east on Hwy 29 with the pedal to the metal...

Who knew?

GPG!

What would yall give to see Gutey’s draft board?

Can you ask Bakhtiari if he even wants to be a Packer anymore? Doesn't seem like it based on his recent interviews.

And with the 13th pick of the 2023 NFL draft, Green Bay selects from the University of Michigan......Kicker....Jake Moody. I kid, I kid....
Seriously, I'm really excited for this draft. I have a bottle of Noah's Mill Small Batch Bourbon and some tailgate food consisting of charcoal grilled, 60 day dry aged ground brisket burgers on homemade Brioche buns with a 2 year aged swiss with mushrooms. It's gonna smell like the butthole of a dead skunk in my house, but the taste will be rewarding. I can't start all this until 5:30 central time today, so I'm hoping for a trade down. I want to (might need to be) well into my bourbon before our 1st pick. Have a fantastic night Packer fans. Thanks CHEESEHEADTV for all your hard work, insight, and subscribers.

Hey guys, I wish you all good party and lot of fun. Here draft day starts at 2 am and tomorrow is working day, so I can not watch 1st and 2nd/3rd rounds. But first thing in the morning will be checking what happened. I'm looking for watching 3rd day of draft, especially 4th and 5th rounds.

So I wish you all lot of love and fun! Stay safe!

I don’t think that people should have alcohol during the draft. It’s too hard to make decisions. You should never drink and derive. 😉

Personally I am hoping Jaxon Smith-Njigba falls and Packers pick him at 13 and Darnell Washington is still available at 42 or Packers trade up with the 45th pick if they think they are going to miss Jaxon or Darnell.

"GREEN BAY, Wis. – Each team is allowed 30 visits with NFL Draft prospects. Thanks to Instagram and solid reporting, we know the identities of 26 of those players. (Note: STR counted 27 on Sports Illustrated's list)
When Ted Thompson was general manager, the visits were used mostly for medical/character checks and undrafted free agent recruiting. There’s some of that with current GM Brian Gutekunst, as well, but the Packers brought in eight players who could wind up going in the first round."

it looks like Packers are emphasizing Tight End in round 1 and edge rusher and/or defensive lineman in round 2.

TE - 6 (3 in round 1, 1 in round 4 or 5, 2 undrafted free agents)
QB - 3 (1 in round 1 or 2, 2 undrafted free agents)
WR - 5 (1 in round 3, 1 round 5 thru 7, 3 undrafted free agents)
RB - 3 (1 in 5th, 2 undrafted free agents)
OT - 2 (1 in round 1 or 2, 1 undrafted free agent)
G - 1 ( 1 late 4th or 5th)

Total offense = 20

DL = 4 (2 late round 1, 1 mid round 3, 1 undrafted free agent)
DE = 2 (early 2nd round)
DT = 1 (late round 2 or early round 3)
LB = 2 (1 5th round, 1 undrafted free agent)
CB = 1 (3rd round)
SAF = 3 (1 late 2nd, 2 7th round or undrafted free agent)

Total Defense = 13

Haven’t been able to watch video to know how to join the draft party..daughter graduation.

How do I join the party

JSN #1 overall

This is my final. First listed is who I think they will get. 2nd listed is who I want.

13. OT Darnell Wright / Broderick Jones
42. TE Darnell Washington (may need to trade up with the 4th pick)
45. Edge Isaiah Foskey / Derick Hall
78. WR Rashee Rice / Jonathan Mingo (Mingo is probably gone)
116. TE Josh Wyhle / Zack Kuntz (like Kuntz, but has chance to be there in the 5th) (may need to give up pick to get TE DW)
149. QB Clayton Tune
207. K Jake Moody
232. S Jordan Howden
235. RB Evan Hull
242. OG Antonio Mafi
256. DL Karl Brooks

I suspect 4 teams with higher picks than GB are okay with trading down. I am not too concerned as I think there is not only a lot of parity between the 13th best prospect and the 35th, and I think the quality stays high well into the thirties. GB should get 3 nice prospect.

I'd love it if Paris Johnson dropped. Run to the podium. I feel the same about Skoronski.

Mayer, Wright, JSN, Jones, and Van Ness, these guys are interchangeable in terms of quality. Perhaps one of the turns out great, but I wouldn't spend a nickel betting on one of them over the others. All except Mayer would be fine at 13 and I would hate Mayer that high.

Fuuuuuuhhhhkn Bears!

Jaylen Carter looks a slimmed down Stacey Abrams.

Titans took Skoronski.

Packers on the clock. I take Van Ness with my total lack of knowledge and just using nfl.com's ranking list.

Come on Broderick Jones.

Anyone nervous about them taking Levis? :)

Broderick Jones...here it comes.

Van ness...I can see that. Gute likes the workout warriors.

He's a twitched up Aaron Kampmann...who didn't transition to OLB well.

Lukas Van Ness Another 1st round defensive pick. Van Ness and Gary when healthy could deliver a great pass rush! I'm good with this pick. Thanks, Since '61

Well I thought OT or Edge. As an Iowa guy I’m glad for him. Van ness is going to need a bit of work, but the ceiling is high.

Hope TE is next.

OMG, I love this pick!!! EDGE Lucas Van Ness is HUGE!!!

That is a very smart pick.

Like the Van Ness pick I think. But why do we have to endure the Jonas Brothers?

Interesting. I said in a post a short while ago that I'd go with Edge Myles Murphy over Van Ness, but the Packers could well see it differently....................and they did.

What an underwhelming pick. Maybe Barry can coach him up. Just kidding!

I would have taken Broderick Jones.... Hopefully Van Ness is plays like he's related to the Bosa brothers.

Lukas Van Ness -

NFL Draft Buzz

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS
Very athletic player who is nicknamed “Hercules” by teammates. Looks like he was carved out of stone standing 6-5 and weighing in at 275lbs
He’s flexible enough to bend the edge, and he’s at his best when Van Ness can use his quickness and change-of-direction abilities to counter back inside.
Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
High level of functional strength and an elite ability to convert speed to power
His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and he displays a very good motor
Gets very good leverage and has exceptional lower leg strength
He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage
Has very powerful hands - gets under blocker's pads and easily drives them backward
As a pass rusher, he shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision
Long arms with an elite tackle radius along with an always-on motor
SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES
Plays too tall, and doesn't have the elite speed to easily beat top-level tackles on the edge
Doesn't anchor consistently and can not be knocked of balance
He’s susceptible to cut blocks, a tactic that was used on him often
Has limited experience - has played just two years of college football
Struggles recognizing blocking schemes
Has been able to dominate a college with power - this won't be possible at the next level where he'll need a greater set of rushing tools
Van Ness doesn’t show much in the way of dynamic change-of-direction ability on counter moves, and also has a limited repertoire of pass-rushing moves
SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Lukas Van Ness is a good pro prospect, with ideal size and elite power for the position. In his final year at Iowa, he played at an elite level as he logged 9 sacks and huge 31 total hurries on the edge. He however is a little raw and while having outstanding power is inexperienced and only has a limited array of pass-rushing moves and so may struggle to adapt to the pro game.

Van Ness may be over-drafted due to his power and production, although currently, we regard him as a day-two selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.

I'm surprised none of you were wishing for JSN here. Love NEEDS help, more that TWO 2nd year WR's and Josh Degurua at TE...

Barry couldn't do shit with seven 1st round picks on the defense already, do they think 8 will make any difference?

Both 2's better damn well be TE / WR....

If Brian Branch is on the board at #42, do the Packers select him?

Yesterday evening I watched the CHTV NFL Draft Party for the first time.

It was very impressive and very enjoyable!

I want to THANK YOU, CHTV and, ALL of the very interesting Packer Fan participants and guests for making the Draft Night Party such a memorable experience.

CHTV and Packer fans are the best!
