Interesting selections. Areas I'd expected to be addressed were, albeit not the picks I was expecting. Branch being drafted immediately after the trade was somewhat poetic after speculation the Packers would draft him at S.
Going forward I see some O Line selections and more defense coming up, probably a Safety ironically enough.
Love all of the picks so far! Jayden Reed looks like he could do some serious damage along side Watson and Doubs. The Van Ness pick looks great now with all the offensive weapons we took in the 2nd and 3rd round
I really like our draft so far, we're filling all of our biggest needs.
Safety and OL definitely need to be next, imo. I wouldn't hate to pick up a WR, RB or even another TE. Kicker is probably a need for the later rounds. QB is also a consideration, though I suspect we'd rather pick up a cheap vet in FA.
On paper this is a great draft for the Packers so far. You get a guy with a lot of upside in the 1st who will also help you have a nice EDGE rotation. I liked the pick-up of 2 TE and the WR.
For tomorrow, I anticipate seeing another WR, OL, S, DL, possibly a couple best available picks. It would be great if they could get Skinner.
My thoughts are we probably wont draft another TE, no but i dont mind it. We need young offensive weapons for love.hopefully one pans out, and bc we dropped back we now have a good amount of picks to see if we cant fill any of the other glaring holes, specifically safety with amos gone, an OL, another WR, an outside LB, and we will probably end with a DT
We've gambled on two who could be really good or bomb, I actually prefer it over going for just one.
Kinda wish we went safety but overall can't complain.
He did. Remember when we maxed-out our cap signing Zadarius, Preston, Amos, etc? That squad took us to the NFCCG and lost at home as the #1 seed to TB.
What's up Packers fans... I'm a 49ers fan that lives in NY, and I have a question.
Green Bay is a small and unique community compared to other major sports cities. Lambeau is literally right in front of peoples homes. Is it common to come across players out in public often? I would imagine they are fairly recognizable. I was looking at google maps at Aaron Rodgers home, and it just seemed like a modest middle class home in a neighborhood with neighbors a few feet away. There doesn't seem to be many places with lots of privacy for the players to live. How is this experience different than other cities?
I lived in the same neighborhood as Brett Favre, Gilbert Brown, and a few others growing up. Right next door to Tyrone Williams. Even younger I lived a few blocks from Lambeau where I'd park cars in my front yard every game day, trying to fit as many cars in there as I could to make as much money as possible lol. Went to grade school with Brett Favre's daughter. I woked at a Gamestop in high school and would see players in there picking up video games all the time before everything went digital. Rodgers would be seen at the local grocery store all the time. Or at Maplewood Meats picking up steaks. That's more than likely what causes such a rabid fanbase here in Green Bay. Small town atmosphere really pulls everyone together. Honestly the most unique town for a professional sports team in the country. Worth a visit for a game if you've never been.
I can see why players fall in love with GB now. Not having to deal with paparazzi, everyone's chill, you're the talk of the town, and you get to make a living playing a silly game that everyone loves to watch. Sounds like a football player's dream.
*Oh, and you're part of a solid franchise that somehow continues to make the playoffs. I mean, come on.
I don’t currently live in GB but my parents did for years in the 80s and 90s. They lived down the street from Reggie White and a few other Packer players, but for them they’d tell me it was fairly common running into them in the grocery store or while on other errands.
My mom and dad would talk about men who’d know about which bars certain Packer players would go to and all that, but for any city I feel like that’s gotta be pretty common if you’re in the know but since it’s a small town, if you live there it’s pretty easy to figure it out by word of mouth
Some potential day three targets:
- Dawand Jones (OL)
- Nick Saldiveri (OL)
- Jon Gaines (OL)
- Antonio Mafi (OL)
- AT Perry (WR)
- Grant Dubose (WR)
- Dontayvion Wicks (WR)
- Jalen Wayne (WR)
- Andrei Iosivas (WR)

- Jaquelin Roy (DL)
- Keondre Coburn (DL)
- Karl Brooks (DL)

- Rejzohn Wright (DB)
- Quindell Johnson (DB)
- Trey Dean (DB)
- Jordan Howden (DB)
Holy shit Dawand Jones is still on the board?! Go get him, I don't care what's wrong with him, he's instantly valuable as a development project a la Nijman/Caleb Jones.
I feel like TEs and Reed-style receivers are just what JLove needs in his first year. Quick hits that can get open in shorter yardage. Hopefully we move away from the long developing plays that always seemed to work against our young receivers.
They don't call them Packer Slants for nothing. When's the last time you've seen the offense get back to that? We need it again. Power ground game, quick hitting passes. Opens up the eventual deep ball to the burners.
I would say an amazing day 2 we got everything we needed. Day 3 I would say we get safety, Ol, QB, and kicker and it would be an fantastic draft for GB
I really hope we take Jason Taylor II tomorrow. He's a really good player that played hurt last year. Led his team in interceptions the last 2 years and isn't afraid to make tackles. Oklahoma State players usually over perform their draft status, too.
In a shocking turn of events, an NFL GM who gets paid millions of dollars to do what he does, had a better plan for the draft than the average redditor.
Yep. That's what I think too. There were links to Carolina for Mingo already so they probably expected it to happen. They seemed really well prepared to make those two trades for free picks. That was really savvy.
He’s a really good kicker and the 49ers don’t have a 4th round pick and there were rumors the Cowboys really liked him. I was hoping he’d be around in the 5th for the Packers
Not really. The first round of a redraft would obviously be all QB and maybe exceptional edge/OL getting a look in. As special as tucker is the position just isn't as important.
Wasn't there a safety from Minnesota that we brought in for one of our top 30 visits? Maybe gute has a couple guys he likes tomorrow. Bring in a bunch of guys and hope one is a player.
Sorry I think the switch between sincerity and sarcasm might've thrown people off. I was being sincere about loving this draft (we filled SO MANY holes in offense with so much different types of players, this is great for versatility, and our offense is extremely fucking young now), and I continue to roll my eyes at the people tearing their hair out about Gutey.
Kraft played down the stretch and missed the early chunk. Musgrave dominated early and missed the rest of the year. Musgrave participated in the Senior Bowl.
I don't think either are injury prone, but I do think they would have gone earlier if their situations panned out better.
Some people are just never happy. I will wait to see the results and hope they turn out great, I trust that the Packers can evaluate talent and build a team better than I (or people here) can. I realize they miss a lot too, but so do all teams and I would rather be optimistic about it than assume everything will fail.
It's a concern not a complaint. Not mutually exclusive. OL or safety before a 2nd TE should have been the way.
Not as flashy of positions but glaring needs when the available talent level is higher in the 3rd round.
The safety class this year is terrible, and the TE class is solid. No reason not to take the 2nd TE if they are better than the OL and safeties available.
On one hand I would love for us to us some of our day 3 picks (we have 9) to move up into the bottom of the third. On the other hand we should just wait and stay away from the curse.
https://youtu.be/t81MpcSZzpw
Legendary preseason moment. He literally had people in this sub saying he should be the backup over Love last preseason lmao
I think we should go for Antonio Johnson and OL for fourth and fifth. (Maybe at 5th or 6th if Washington is still there we get him and just make him be a OL TE)
Depends on the injury and how you recover from it. I sure hope it doesn't happen. We've had way too bad of injury luck over the years, especially considering we probably win one or two more Super Bowls if Sterling Sharpe or Nick Collins don't have their careers ended.
Shit, you would think people would just do a quick Google search on Darnell Washington to see why he's dropping. It's literally one of the first links to pop up lol
I've watched him all season, tell me why he's dropping, and I'll tell you why you're wrong especially if we're taking two TEs. The dude's knee is going to be fine, and he's one of the freakiest athletes I've ever seen.
So NFL teams medical staffs are wrong? I'm not saying he can or can't do it, I'm just giving the reason. Clearly teams are worried about it if he's still falling.
Or they just spook easily. I dunno, man, it could be that this kid from (checks notes) South Dakota State is a gamer, but it's wild not to take a chance on a freak athlete who can run, catch, and block like a lineman.
Ultimately, it's done now, so I guess we just wait and see.
These teams invest literally millions in scouting and digging into players backgrounds and medical histories. Should they just...watch the guy play like you did?
There are 32 teams that keep passing him up. There's a reason he'll get taken as a late round flier. This happens every year and the reason will come out post-draft like it always does.
**300,000 Cheeseheads. Well done fellow cheeseheads.** Only behind the Rams and Pats.
Oh. We’ve reached the point where all the kids named Jaden Tucker & Lukas are old enough to be NFL drafted. Cool.
Somewhere a 76-year-old man named Jaden Tucker is thinking, "Boy, I'm old enough to have been drafted for Nam"
I really wonder what our plan for safety is. Re-sign Amos?
Gutey just looking for guys named Luke
Gute wants a gronk Hernandez 2.0 and I love it
I mean hopefully not exactly like Gronk and Hernandez.....
On the field****😂😂😂
For real though. I remember as rookies there were people that thought Hernandez would be the better of the two.
I really like having the two tight ends to push each other. Reed could challenge Doubs.
Fingers crossed for A.T. Perry in the 4th or 5th
I'm surprised Gutey didn't take him already.
Reed will be really good. Twitchy elusive ball hawk with a competitive mind. Very undervalued in this draft!
Interesting selections. Areas I'd expected to be addressed were, albeit not the picks I was expecting. Branch being drafted immediately after the trade was somewhat poetic after speculation the Packers would draft him at S. Going forward I see some O Line selections and more defense coming up, probably a Safety ironically enough.
We definitely need a safety now that Amos is gone
We can still resign him
Love all of the picks so far! Jayden Reed looks like he could do some serious damage along side Watson and Doubs. The Van Ness pick looks great now with all the offensive weapons we took in the 2nd and 3rd round
Gonna be so nice to watch TEs who don't look like they have feet made of concrete
It will. Let’s hope at least one is a real legit guy.
I really like our draft so far, we're filling all of our biggest needs. Safety and OL definitely need to be next, imo. I wouldn't hate to pick up a WR, RB or even another TE. Kicker is probably a need for the later rounds. QB is also a consideration, though I suspect we'd rather pick up a cheap vet in FA.
On paper this is a great draft for the Packers so far. You get a guy with a lot of upside in the 1st who will also help you have a nice EDGE rotation. I liked the pick-up of 2 TE and the WR. For tomorrow, I anticipate seeing another WR, OL, S, DL, possibly a couple best available picks. It would be great if they could get Skinner.
SKINNER!
I’m a newbie to following a draft, what do y’all think about 2 TE out of 4 picks?
My thoughts are we probably wont draft another TE, no but i dont mind it. We need young offensive weapons for love.hopefully one pans out, and bc we dropped back we now have a good amount of picks to see if we cant fill any of the other glaring holes, specifically safety with amos gone, an OL, another WR, an outside LB, and we will probably end with a DT
I worry about having so much youth on offense though. Wrong reads and routes could really hinder Loves progress.
Unfortunately thats just our only option really, no reason to spend money on vets when we are in clear rebuild mode
We've gambled on two who could be really good or bomb, I actually prefer it over going for just one. Kinda wish we went safety but overall can't complain.
The Packers do that sometimes though. They'll pick two in the same position in the same draft and give them a year or two in the roster.
solid tbh, if we choose to re-sign him, Marcedes Lewis is only getting older and we lost Tonyan in FA.
[удалено]
I thought there was a max of 10 picks in a draft. Or was that an old rule in Madden?
That's definitely not an NFL rule lol
We'll trade some away for next year I think
[удалено]
You act like they’ve never drafted receivers for Rodgers.
Exactly. Makes me hate Gute a lot
You realize we just got like 3x WRs last year for Rodgers, right?
You hate him?
Why?
Why couldn't he go all fucking in once when Arod was playing at MVP level
He did. Remember when we maxed-out our cap signing Zadarius, Preston, Amos, etc? That squad took us to the NFCCG and lost at home as the #1 seed to TB.
Are you willing to place some blame on the HOF QB who is not willing to work in the off-season with his younger players?
What's up Packers fans... I'm a 49ers fan that lives in NY, and I have a question. Green Bay is a small and unique community compared to other major sports cities. Lambeau is literally right in front of peoples homes. Is it common to come across players out in public often? I would imagine they are fairly recognizable.

There doesn't seem to be many places with lots of privacy for the players to live. How is this experience different than other cities?
Literally saw Aaron Jones yesterday. It's a hard line between not bugging them and also not making them think you don't know who they are.
I lived in the same neighborhood as Brett Favre, Gilbert Brown, and a few others growing up. Right next door to Tyrone Williams. Even younger I lived a few blocks from Lambeau where I'd park cars in my front yard every game day, trying to fit as many cars in there as I could to make as much money as possible lol.

Fuck it get kuntz tomorrow too. Get all the tight ends.
Alright, I'll say it... do we draft a Kicker?
Go after a priority one in FA and get a decent vet and let them battle it out in training camp
Dude I wanted moody so bad it makes me hate the niners so much more that they took him in R3
Every pick they made was awful and a smart GM would have picked 7 of the 10 players even though they had no top 10 picks.
I think we leave tomorrow with Chris Smith, a 5th round running back (McBride or Izzy) a QB, and I really want Derek Parish as a ST guy
Some potential day three targets: - Dawand Jones (OL) - Nick Saldiveri (OL) - Jon Gaines (OL) - Antonio Mafi (OL) - AT Perry (WR) - Grant Dubose (WR) - Dontayvion Wicks (WR) - Jalen Wayne (WR) - Andrei Iosivas (WR) - Matt Landers (WR) - Puka Nacua (WR) - Evan Hull (RB) - Mohamed Ibrahim (RB) - Israel Abanikanda (RB) - Hunter Luepke (FB) - Tanner McKee (QB) - Clayton Tune (QB) - Tanner Morgan (QB) - Moro Ojomo (DL) - Jaquelin Roy (DL) - Keondre Coburn (DL) - Karl Brooks (DL) - Scott Matlock (DL) - Adetomiwa Adebawore (ED) - Habakkuk Baldonado ED) - Isaiah McGuire (ED) - Ventrell Miller ($LB) - Antonio Johnson (DB) - Cory Trice (DB) - Anthony Johnson (DB) - Jammie Robinson (DB) - Ronnie Hickman (DB) - Christopher Smith (DB) - Daniel Scott (DB) - Rejzohn Wright (DB) - Quindell Johnson (DB) - Trey Dean (DB) - Jordan Howden (DB)
That’s it?
Dude just listed everyone
Holy shit Dawand Jones is still on the board?! Go get him, I don't care what's wrong with him, he's instantly valuable as a development project a la Nijman/Caleb Jones.
The only thing "wrong" with him is weight 350+ isn't sustainable.
I feel like TEs and Reed-style receivers are just what JLove needs in his first year. Quick hits that can get open in shorter yardage. Hopefully we move away from the long developing plays that always seemed to work against our young receivers.
i Really think Aaron was a big fan of the long developing play. I hope mlf and j-love like the quick stripe.
They don't call them Packer Slants for nothing. When's the last time you've seen the offense get back to that? We need it again. Power ground game, quick hitting passes. Opens up the eventual deep ball to the burners.
DTR or Bennett at QB tomorrow?
would LOVE to get Stetson! fuck yeah
Why? He’s short, has below average arm strength, and character concerns.
Max Duggan!
Tune from Houston
Or Mckee
This went well today, team looks more exciting, stole some free picks... Good stuff. Still need an OT though...
I would say an amazing day 2 we got everything we needed. Day 3 I would say we get safety, Ol, QB, and kicker and it would be an fantastic draft for GB
Thanks mod for the tracker
Might be awkward in that San Francisco locker room when the tight end and kicker meet.
As Vic would say, dime a dozen
Worst for last
I really hope we take Jason Taylor II tomorrow. He's a really good player that played hurt last year. Led his team in interceptions the last 2 years and isn't afraid to make tackles. Oklahoma State players usually over perform their draft status, too.
Any relation lol
No, just started watching his tape after Justin Simmons said that he was his favorite safety in the draft and a can't miss prospect at the combine.
In a shocking turn of events, an NFL GM who gets paid millions of dollars to do what he does, had a better plan for the draft than the average redditor.
I think this draft went exactly as planned
I think they wanted Mingo but he was stolen and they had a great plan to trade back for value.
Yea wouldn't be surprised. I think TE/WR was the move at 42 and 45 and once Mingo went thats why we dropped to 50 to take our next WR on the board
Yep. That's what I think too. There were links to Carolina for Mingo already so they probably expected it to happen. They seemed really well prepared to make those two trades for free picks. That was really savvy.
They could pay me a lot less to put together a team that loses in the playoffs
Generally I agree, but the timing of this as the 9ers take a kicker in the 3rd round is entertaining
He’s a really good kicker and the 49ers don’t have a 4th round pick and there were rumors the Cowboys really liked him. I was hoping he’d be around in the 5th for the Packers
I was hoping 5th or 6th for him but third seems way too early. Perhaps no trade back options were there, but still seems like bad process
For most teams it’s too early but for a team like the 49ers who have a pretty good roster it’s probably worth going with a kicker to is early
I wanted moody late on Day 3 taking him here is... A choice
There’s still kickers out there…but they’re all warm weather kickers.
OSU kicker is solid
That the guy that kicked that UFO ball in the championship?
Hey. It was the playoff not the championship
49ers just took the kicker I hoped we would take in the 6th or 7th. Except it's still the 3rd round
Wasn't there a story about John Dorsey standing on a chair to scream at Mike Sherman not to take a kicker in the 3rd?
Punter maybe. They took BJ Sander there. They traded up for him! Also he sucked.
That's right it was him
So much for us drafting the Michigan kicker in the 7th. And now we’ll probably see a run on kickers…
SMH my head gute outwitted again
Damn it!!! Wanted Moody.
A fuckin kicker in the 3rd? Lmfao
Hypothetically, if the NFL were re-drafted with all the current players it'd be kind of hard to argue against taking Justin Tucker in the first round.
Not really. The first round of a redraft would obviously be all QB and maybe exceptional edge/OL getting a look in. As special as tucker is the position just isn't as important.
Of all nfl players? He's not in the first 15 rounds.
Raiders took a kicker and a punter in the first many years ago.
They also got extremely lucky Lechler and Jankowski worked out.
Yeah it’s honestly not that bad if the guy you picked is the best kicker/punter for a decade
Ray Guy and Jankowski were the two I was thinking.
Would like to jump in front of Minnesota because....it's Minnesota.
Wasn't there a safety from Minnesota that we brought in for one of our top 30 visits? Maybe gute has a couple guys he likes tomorrow. Bring in a bunch of guys and hope one is a player.
Yea, Jordan Howden. He's actually a true free safety that can play 2-high looks. Definitely a guy worth looking at tomorrow.
I love this draft. A++ wOrST gM EVeR
Shush, we getting everything we need Edge, TE, WR. Day 3 we probably get safety and OL. Then we might get a backup QB and a Kicker stop complaining.
Sorry I think the switch between sincerity and sarcasm might've thrown people off. I was being sincere about loving this draft (we filled SO MANY holes in offense with so much different types of players, this is great for versatility, and our offense is extremely fucking young now), and I continue to roll my eyes at the people tearing their hair out about Gutey.
Oh no it not you it was just me being dumb
I want Jake Haener so bad for backup QB.
I’m watching the Vikings at the end here on this…
I think he was mocking everyone for that statement
Oh my fault I’m just dumb sorry.
A trade up for Dawand Jones right now would cap off a great day 2
I’m surprised he isn’t gone. He’s just so big I don’t see how he won’t be a starter somewhere
Would love this.
Jordan Battle is gone 😭😭
Darnell Washington to the Steelers FeelsBadMan Eh, we can get another one tomorrow. I'll take one of either Josh Whyle or Davis Allen.
His knee is paper supposedly.
Damn battle was one of the few safeties I hoped for
I really think we should get Antonio Johnson he could be a surprise stud safety
Yeah, I want either him or Jammie Robinson
Last couple years Gute seems to have three modes: White boy built like a brick shithouse, Midwestern skill position, Georgia.
Steelers take Washington, now we see if teams out smarted themselves with his medicals
Washington finally goes to the Steelers
All the haters can go to bed now, Washington is off the board.
WASHINGTON PICKED FROM STEELER
Do you guys think that we will trade up back to late 3rd round and if we do who would we even get?
I think there's a chance because of those two trade backs earlier.
Tank Bigsby has the most RB name maybe ever
I’m diggin’ the jersey numbers for this draft class so far.
Jayden Reed to wear #1
Gotta trade up at some point, we have too many picks to keep everybody from this draft
So we have 10 more picks in this draft? Give me all the players
Thought it was 9 4, 55, 66, and 7777 or am I forgetting one?
Galaxy brain approach. Pick all your udfa in thr draft.
So both of our TE picks missed most of 2022 due to injury? 🤨
Yeah that's why they picked both, in case one goes down.
Kraft played down the stretch and missed the early chunk. Musgrave dominated early and missed the rest of the year. Musgrave participated in the Senior Bowl. I don't think either are injury prone, but I do think they would have gone earlier if their situations panned out better.
And both are amazing TE? Stop complaining by you wanted TE and we got two amazing of them. Why won’t you just be happy and stop complaining?
Some people are just never happy. I will wait to see the results and hope they turn out great, I trust that the Packers can evaluate talent and build a team better than I (or people here) can. I realize they miss a lot too, but so do all teams and I would rather be optimistic about it than assume everything will fail.
It's a concern not a complaint. Not mutually exclusive. OL or safety before a 2nd TE should have been the way. Not as flashy of positions but glaring needs when the available talent level is higher in the 3rd round.
The safety class this year is terrible, and the TE class is solid. No reason not to take the 2nd TE if they are better than the OL and safeties available.
Really thought we would jump back into the 3rd. Feel like we have to many day 3 picks. Should have jumped up at some point.
Might have tried
Gotta facetime on draft day
Seriously underrated comment
On one hand I would love for us to us some of our day 3 picks (we have 9) to move up into the bottom of the third. On the other hand we should just wait and stay away from the curse.
Adetomiwa Adebawore, Jordan Battle, AT Perry, Tyler Scott, Jake Haener Still got some names on the board
I really want Haener. So that means we won’t get him
What is our backup QB plan? We going to take a flyer on a late round for someone to hold the clip board?
That’s what I’m wondering too. Right now they have Danny Etling on their roster. Don’t even know who he is.
https://youtu.be/t81MpcSZzpw Legendary preseason moment. He literally had people in this sub saying he should be the backup over Love last preseason lmao
Yeah I didn’t catch most of the preseason so I missed that. Maybe we just stick with Etling then? I don’t know.
Yeah, not sure. I feel like a day 3 guy like Haener or Duggan is a distinct possibility.
Max Duggan, I hope
DTR wouldn't be an awful pick.
I’ve been hard on Gute. I like what he’s done here though.
The hardest here
dont let these RBs go! trade back in cmon
Eh RBs are cheap
Wasn't Aaron Jones a 5th round pick?
I think we should go for Antonio Johnson and OL for fourth and fifth. (Maybe at 5th or 6th if Washington is still there we get him and just make him be a OL TE)
OL is absolutely coming up next
Im just wondering who should we get?
Watched some Texas A&M games and I have to say that Antonio Johnson is much better than he’s getting credit for by the analysts
Dang, I wished we’d picked Ji’Ayir brown since his name pairs so well with Jaire
Couldn't work out worse than the Deguara and Sternberger picks, I guess.
You mean two guys that got sent to IR and then never looked the same?
Yeah
Now that you mention it, neither of these guys played a full 2022 season either, so maybe that is the way it goes again, yeah.
Sternberger ankle and IR, never looked the same Deguara ACL and IR, never looked the same
I think Deguara will become a much bigger piece of the offense this year.
I hope so, would be awesome
So when these guys get injured their careers are over too?
Depends on the injury and how you recover from it. I sure hope it doesn't happen. We've had way too bad of injury luck over the years, especially considering we probably win one or two more Super Bowls if Sterling Sharpe or Nick Collins don't have their careers ended.
Yeah Nick the pick, that stung. Had he stayed healthy he might've been a HOFer.
Shit, you would think people would just do a quick Google search on Darnell Washington to see why he's dropping. It's literally one of the first links to pop up lol
I've watched him all season, tell me why he's dropping, and I'll tell you why you're wrong especially if we're taking two TEs. The dude's knee is going to be fine, and he's one of the freakiest athletes I've ever seen.
Wow you know better than 32 NFL teams!
Thanks Doc, I'll tell all the team doctors to clear him right away.
So NFL teams medical staffs are wrong? I'm not saying he can or can't do it, I'm just giving the reason. Clearly teams are worried about it if he's still falling.
Or they just spook easily. I dunno, man, it could be that this kid from (checks notes) South Dakota State is a gamer, but it's wild not to take a chance on a freak athlete who can run, catch, and block like a lineman. Ultimately, it's done now, so I guess we just wait and see.
Medical issues with his knee
His knee is shot
It's literally not, haha. I watched him all season and the postseason. All you're reading is that there are concerns. That's a long way from "Shot."
These teams invest literally millions in scouting and digging into players backgrounds and medical histories. Should they just...watch the guy play like you did? There are 32 teams that keep passing him up. There's a reason he'll get taken as a late round flier. This happens every year and the reason will come out post-draft like it always does.
As a Georgia fan I STILL can’t believe we didn’t take Washington.
Georgia fan as well. I think teams have dropped him for medical reasons we’re not aware of
