Was it a 4th? Can't find it anywhere...possible it was a 5th

He is Cobb, who was similarly limited as a receiver when he arrived.
Wasn’t my choice but in retrospect a good one. Who knew we do have a slot “type” after all.

The SHE rating of 11 is a bonus endorsement.

I know. Can you believe he traded up for a slug like Jaire Alexander.

We have a winning record and really crappy pick location. I for one am tired of seeing every good DL snapped up. I hope he moves up again for a good DL.

While his PR production was average at 7+ yards per return, he effortlessly catches punts, doesn't muff and knows when to fair catch or head up field. All traits the Pack had trouble with. So yeah, he may not be top ten in the NFL , but he should be a solid upgrade.

Definitely good to get a WR with return ability.

Great Pick ????- Jersey Al. made a comment that he likes Ourlads still after all these years. Ourlads had him rated as 4/5 round pick. WE gave the Titans a 4th round pick to move up 6 selections. Thats outrageous!!!

I agree, upside plus current value. Nice start.

Stokes will get starters snaps to start in nickel and dime....which the Packers under Barry will play more than base 3-4.

But I see him making it very hard to keep him off the field and he may take King's spot during 2021.

You do realize the "dumb choice" to move up secured the pick of Rodgers, right? Did you also know Gutey had made several attempts to trade up to get him? Teams were interested but when their pick approached their guy was available and the teams said "no trade back...we have our guy."

Gutey said he was working the phones most of the third round to get Rodgers in a trade up but teams kept backing out until TN finally said yes. I do not think was a "dumb choice" to give up a few trade value points to get a player that fills a huge hole and will comtribute immediately.

You make it sound like Gutey just made one call to TN and offered the 4th in overpayment to get him. Not what happened.

Gutey also said he had two players selected as his primary targets yesterday....Meyers and Rodgers...he got them both in Green Bay.

Good day!

"Let's also hope this is the end of the offensive selections;"

No. I won't hope that. I want another WR, a full-sized one. A developmental TE would not be a bad late pick. The way ML uses RBs and FBs, if the right one is there, that's a viable choice. You can never have too much OL help so adding a 2nd if the board lines up is not a bad thing. And I guess they might need a backup QB if the hissy fit Rodgers is throwing is real,

That's not to say that I don't see needs on the other side of the ball either. DL is acute, Another CB would be nice. Edge and ILB could use more talent. I'm not thrilled with the production of the backup Safeties. I sorta like the rooks from last year to step up but not enough to close the door on drafting another.

Basically, nothing is off the table for me. That's what the draft is all about, building up the competition for roster spots all over the roster.

splitpea,
You have to remember. Gutekunst is a Ted Thompson disciple, DL and LB are foreign to them, they have no interest. He thinks he can will, or 'Develop' a dominant defense, but that takes players.
Worse yet, Gutekunst is mimicking Thompson in his treatment of his MVP QB, what is wrong with these guys? Can't they see what the rest of the league does with their best players?
And, even worse, is that Gutekunst is a coward, he's had opportunities to pull the trigger and has wimped out each time he's had a chance to grab a guy that could have really changed this team. That, and his present "he's under contract" treatment of Rodgers is what's put us where we are. Pffft, even Thompson moved up to take CMIII and knew better than to draft a 'can't make the game day roster 3rd stringer' to sit behind Favre.
The final straw is that, in reality, this all falls in Murphy's court, the power grabbing Real Estate Mogul that could care less about football as long as he leaves what he considers his legacy on Packers' history.
The organization is a mess!
Somewhere, Bob Harlan and Ron Wolf are shaking their heads in disbelief.

If they give Amari #12, we'll know there is additional news coming out.

He's not as electric because he's a lot heavier. But he is a tough guy who can handle the middle of the field and the contact that comes with it. He can definitely make twisting catches. I would have thought Rodgers might have landed with the Ravens, as his father is their WRs coach.

I liove this pick. Center too Now go get a DL and LB.

Mathbomb had Rodgers @ 4.52 in the 40 on his RAS sheet. I recall his profile on this site cited a number more like the mid 4.4s, like 4,45 or something. A tenth of the second is not a long time. But it kinda is, for this. We'll see what we see. If he's getting chased down, well, that won't be good.

I can't wait to see him show which number is right. I'm excited they finally made an investment at WR before day 3. Davante Adams was the last one. If Rodgers turns out half as good, he'll be a valuable asset for either Aaron Rodgers or Jordon Love.

They would be different sets of people, That's the nature of opinions. People tend to hold all kinds of them, including both sides of particular issues. It's part of human nature.

In your example, the people that want to give up picks to move up would have the wrong opinion.

I'm excited to see a healthy Deguara back this year. Between him, Dillon and now Amari, MLF is going to have the ability to run a whole new set of looks/plays. Lots of unique skill sets there.

The "three starters form a quality draft" rule has to be amended to "quality starters." Sometimes guys earn starting roles because they're a GM's pet project. That doesn't mean they've necessarily earned the role.

If Jordan Love is the starter in 2021, there is no doubt he'll be substandard compared to what we're all used to from the QB position. He'll be getting the job because he's next in line when ARod was moved.

100% agree that Rodgers was showing signs of slowing down when the Pack drafted Love. You can hate it now but it was the right thing to do. It ignited Rodgers to up his game (might not have happened without the Love pick).
Another thing is the GM and Coach will pick guys for their system and most of us do not fully understand the needs of that system. We use conventional NFL thinking and we create expectations for the draft based on our group think. The Packers (and 49ers) are operating in a different mode than other NFL teams - they will draft players we don't expect. Get used to it.

All though I agree , I can’t blame him. He played for YRS with no real RB in a pass happy offense. Then a running game gets established, other teams catch on to that so he goes to his playmaker Adams. Again ...can’t blame him. Did they give Brady, Manning a bunch of rookie RBs to work with? No. Did they give them a bunch of rookie WRs to work with? No. Anytime Brady or Manning played teams afforded them at least 1 Cadillac WR and 1 Cadillac RB. Not even to mention the Olines they were afforded to literally spend all day surveying the field. Rodgers has had bits and pieces of that but nowhere near the level. I’m just glad they picked up a true center and a good slot. IN Lafluers offense a true slot is a needed piece. Now if we can escape this draft with a DL ore 2 I’ll be totally happy. I believe some of the defensive struggles were not totally on the CBs as DL pressure has ALOT to do with cb performance.

And we knows that street is always right. Right?

Maybe the problem isn't the way the Packers treat their best player.

Maybe the problem is their best player.

There's a long line of ex-NFL players who look back at their careers and say they never played for a finer organization from top to bottom than the Green Bay Packers.

maybe they just filled roster needs at CB, OL and WR. In the NFL player turnover is the nature of the beast, with a few rare exceptions.

No they didn't. The only thing they brought in was competition.

Exactly my thought. If this guy is a "reach" according to internet/media draft "experts", at least he isn't from some small directional school.

They spent 5 picks on pass catchers on day 2 over the 4 years that began when Rodgers was drafted. That is a massive investment that was no small part of Rodgers early success. To be sure, they have placed greater expectation on him as he became more veteran. Just like other NFL teams have handled great QB. To suggest the Pats & Saints lavished weapons on Brady and Brees is laughable.

They have paid attention to protecting him with (2) OTs in round 1. They found him an elite LT and made sure he didn't get away. Last year, he won the MVP but the 5 guys protecting him were no small part of that. He's smart enough to understand that I think. If he doesn't understand that, his smarts are overblown.

They lavished money upon him with contracts that usually set a new bar for QBs. They did not give him a new contract every year as others raised that bar. That would be impossible from a cap perspective. That's how the cap game works. Latest contract sets the bar. For his part, he needed that "respect" of the high $$ contract. For as much as I hate citing Tom Brady as the be-all, end-all, Brady never did.

In exchange for all that, they expected to get a player, not someone in football administration that gets oversight in draft decisions and the makeup of the coaching staff. The crux of the diva's issue is that they did not give him that last little bit. Screw him.

I find it very hard to believe that you hope these guys have a good career.

There are no certainties in any draft. However, 3 players that fill positional needs, seem very much football people and look to be able to contribute from day one is a very good haul evidencing a deliberate attempt to make this team better now. Can’t fault that approach.

I give Gute credit for approaching the different circumstances this year differently. Shows an ability to adapt and change strategy. Pretty much all one could ask for. There are no guarantees in the draft.

Winless? Really? 0-17? I think your vision is as skewed in the other direction as those that think the Packers would not miss a beat. In fact, I think your vision is so skewed you are making up that people are saying that. I don't think they are. I think they are simply accepting what may be an uncomfortable reality if the diva's hissy fit is as deep as reports indicate.

I can't speak for others. But I can say that I fully expect a deep hit on QB play if it comes to pass that the diva retires and Jordan Love is elevated to start. But wishing Rodgers was not a diva throwing a hissy fit does not have any power to change that he is a diva throwing a hissy fit.

And thats what bothers me about these picks. You don't replace a Linsley easily. You saw how many CBs have been drafted in the last 10 years. And how many Wrs have the packers drafted and replaced. And we needed Bahk so badly, nobody could replace him. Yet; The problem has been the DL. The problem was ILB. And we saw the results from Gutes patch. Same holes, and live on a prayer, and a whim. So I'm looking at the lions Draft. They killed it and understood it. Gute didn't. Best LT in the draft. And two DTs to replace Suh and Fairly. Then they drafted the rich CB position. Thats wanting to win. Go all in. IF it's all about the Upside. The packers have blown another draft. If it's about the patch. Gute blew it again.

It’s called being spoiled with hall of fame qbs acting like the packers are the best organization to exist. He leaves it will be like what the cowboys endured for 20 years. Sucks we lost the best chance for another super bowl since the organization thinks they’ve been smarter for 30 years. 6 mvps and 2 Super Bowls says enough there.
