I don’t think Gute has done a terrible assembling the roster. I think he has done a solid assembling the roster.
I don’t think the trenches boring.
I don’t think Philly made trendy.
I think football has always been about the.

Shock and Awe is EXACTLY what I expect from this draft.

I don't believe I think like you think people think (heh). I'd love a defensive tackle in round one as much or more than I'd like an Edge, CB or WR.

I believe there is terrific value through round two, so the Shock and Awe (for me) comes with a trade down, ideally for an extra 2nd and 3rd round pick. That is going to be very difficult to achieve in this particular draft as it is a trade-down type of draft, so finding a team that wants to trade up is going to be very difficult (maybe impossible). I'm hoping for a deal with the Giants or Jaguars, but we will see if Gute can generate any interest there.

Failing a trade down, I'm hoping either that Gute keeps Alexander on the roster for this year and does not address CB in the first three rounds, going DT, Edge, WR............or that he believes the Packers are ok with Gary, Van Ness, Cox and Enagbare, under a new Defensive Line coach (going DT, CB, WR in some order, with the first three picks).

@ TKWorldwide Your comment reminds me of a London band, formed back in 1979, who called themselves The The.

If Gutey's first decision on Day 1 of the draft at Lambeau field is to trade down, he won't be very popular.

Yet if the first round unfolds with the top 2 to 4 players on the Packers' Board gone, but more than a few top prospects looking like they will clump in second, get another second round pick.

That 5th year option is valuable, but less so if their day 1 Board depletes and their day 2 board strengthens.

Additional picks for potential starting roles or quality depth will help "win now"...also help address the sideward glance at the 2026 off season.

Starters Watson & Doubs, Wyatt & Q. Walker, Tom & R. Walker & Rhyan are up. So are Enagbare & Cox, Jr & Heath & Willis. That's 11 starters and key depth players to be re-signed or replaced.

You hit the nail on the head with the proverbial hammer. Despite the defense's vast improvement last year, the Packers need to get even better, and that means upfront. They need an impact pass rusher and/or interior guy who can wreak havoc. And if fans didn't see how important depth on the OL was after watching Glover and Telfort against Philly, then they weren't watching the game.

I don’t believe Gute believes in the process.
He has deceived - For his own personal gain.
And he Treats every setback as a step closer to success.
Gute knows the priorities, and won't stick to them.
He gradually reduced the strength of the draft.
So I find it Totally unbelievable. -
That you can talk about the Line of scrimmage.
Because he had his chances to do that since being named GM!
He created the revolving door at RT.
It took him years to get Clarke help.
And he's put it on the "coach" when the Defenses failed.
If not the QB.
The revolving door in the secondary is proof.
You don't need to trade down
when you use Free Agency as effective as he has.
It's what TT didn't do.
Wolf started the process. Gute has killed it.
He gradually reduced the strength of the
Draft Ammo. Giving up the conscious BPA.

The last week or so, CHTV has been triggering my antivirus and knocking me out of the webpage. This has been happening every few minutes I'm logged in, seems to be tied to a pop-up advertiser attempting to re-direct my browser to another page, the domain of which my antivirus deems classified as a "Malvertising" site. Of course, it always seems to happen while I'm typing a post. (but not limited to just while entering a post.)

Boring is fine if one chooses well but there are too many misses. Jordan Morgan is an unknown entity in an important role. Ty'Ronn Hopper has not shown-up @ all and was a questionable choice, IMO-- he was needed last season. Marshawn Lloyd is an unknown as well--hip, hamstring, appendectomy. The appy is less concerning but he was unplayable all season until the appy ruled him completely out.

I did a mock this morning that most likely never happens but here goes traded back twice at 31 DT k grant at 54 OT j Connelly at71 cb az Thomas. At 86 wr tia Felton pk 87 wr Donte thorton pk 124 edge Tyler Barron pk 198 te Jaylon conyers. Pk 237 center Jacob bayer pk 250 cb Corey thorton This draft would be a home run filling every need and building for the future What do you guys think. Of this ?

Ok First, about the draft being in Green Bay.
It's fantastic!!
I don't often give Murphy a lot of credit. I think he's mismanaged a lot of situations. But i'll skip the labor pains of describing those, as knowledgeable fans already know what i'm talking about.

But credit to Murphy for getting the draft, i think he has contacts at the NFL that made that possible.
So Kudos, that was a good get.

With that said, i think this years draft lacks 'sizzle', to me anyway.
There doesn't seem to be any 'can't miss' we can't stop talking about him, draft picks.
The drama i guess, is about, what slot does Sanders go in, and then, who may trade up or down early.
The latter, which is the same every year.

As far as the Packers draft class, i don't care if they trade up, down, or sideways.
Just find some talent, or maybe....an impact player.

Some may have read my recent comment about the Packers drafts of 2018-2021.
It's time we hit on some draft picks, that stick around for a 2nd contract.

"There are a lot of people that get frustrated when they hear the word Gutekunst. "

Gutekunst! Slowly I turned, step by step...

What’s the thinking on, if they use the 23rd pick, don’t trade back for whatever reason, how far below the 23rd pick projection do you go? If you’re on the clock at 23 and the guy you want is projected at 30 and there’s no trading partners do you just take him?

Is Jordan Morgan already such a lost cause at OT that they need to draft his replacement in the first round just one year later? I sure hope not, especially when they already have two established starters at tackle.

I like Cory's euphemism that the Packers have "a lot of options at wide receiver." Nevermind that none of the options are particularly good. Apparently we need multiple first round draft pick O-linemen riding the bench.

20 years counted.
According to Pro Football Reference, most drafted players are busts. the only problem with their system is they don’t take into account the round they where picked. But anyway…
16.7% don’t even end playing for the drafting team (20 years average)
37% are considered ‘useless’, or busts.
5.3% are ‘poor’. Busts such as Jamarcus Russell are here.
So 69% are ‘poor’ or worst.
10.5% average
12.3% good 
6.8% great
1% legendary
That gives 20.1% good. 2 out of 10.
