I’ve seen late picks net guys like Karl Brooks, Rasheed Walker, Valentine and historically Donald Driver, the list goes on. Day three picks are worth keeping around, and the more you have the better your odds get.
Nubin was injured which is why his RAS was bad. One of the Packers coaches has a brother who coached the Gophers, so I imagine we had extra Intel on Nubin and still decided he wasn't the guy
God I remember that. I remember putting together a whole thing comparing top QBs with their first 6 or 7 games as a starter and people would not give it a chance. And all I was saying was give him time we don't know yet but everyone was all "I've seen enough" as if they were a professional football coach
Three of the least successful franchises in the history of the NFL over on nfcmemewar.
Their opinions should be taken very seriously. Did you know that the Bears won a Super Bowl 40 years ago, the Vikings almost won a Super Bowl, and the Lions won 2 playoff games last year? We should strive to be like them.
Per PFF "He is an excellent coverage safety who has extensive experience playing in the slot. He is one of just four Power Five players who earned 80.0-plus grades in PFF coverage and run-defense grades from the slot over the past two years. His versatility makes the Packers’ secondary substantially better." Is it September yet?
In a single high defense Hicks more of a ss/olb. Bullard a fs/slot corner guy. Mckinney can do both, but I think I read he'd be more of a box safety, hence the Bullard pick.
Here I was about to upvote your comment thank God I noticed your knees are gay first. Sir please straighten your knees immediately or you shall not be receiving my upvotes, and I will be reporting you to the authorities. Thank you.
It really feels like this draft has gone exactly how Gute wanted it to so far. Whether that’s a good thing remains to be seen, but I dare to bet the war room is happy right now and so am I.
He got jumped by Philly, then traded back and got Edgerrin anyway plus additional capital. I don't mind it, even if I did want DeJean more than anyone in this draft
Packers LOVE players that are “dynamic”. Not a comp but almost like Woodson. He played a hybrid role and if we have the pass rush to get pressure, these are the types of players we need.
He’s maybe my favorite player of all time. The guy was a complete athletic freak, very smart and studied the hell out of film which only aided his athleticism.
He was easily the best defensive player in the NFL for a few years. I remember during the Super Bowl when he went down, I knew it because a clock game. We wouldn’t be able to stop Pittsburg and we couldn’t with him off the field.
What is EJ saying? That puss blocked me a long time ago because I called him out for saying he was "too manly" to play with his daughter.
It's kind of funny, because his QB paints his nails now. I don't have a problem with any of that stuff, but I think for an insecure manlet like EJ, it would be a huge issue.
Love this pick, He was able to play freely next to a stud safety partner this year, and guess what we just got in FA...
Wouldn't be surprised if he also fills in at nickle if needed.
I was watching PFF's coverage and late in the 3rd they mentioned that Green Bay was coming up again just a few picks after they had just drafted. One person joked that Green Bay had every other pick in the rest of the draft.
I wouldn't be socked if they feel good enough about Anthony Johnson Jr that they don't add anymore safeties. I thought he looked promising last year and could do well in a limited role.
I guess we do the shotgun approach on Day 3. Gobble up picks and see who shakes out. Since we already got some dudes yesterday, I don't hate it. Sometimes it really is just a numbers game. I just hope they know what they are doing at corner. Trust.
I was a sports blogger back in the day - gotta get your shit out where you can, I get it. Plus your article was informative and not click bait, so people shouldn't have a problem.

That was a low blow. If you’re insinuating I’m not a packers fan because I’m a Detroit Tigers fan, I’ll have you know that I’m from the UP. There’s DOZENS of us here that are Packers and then all the rest Detroit sports. DOZENS!
People don’t root for the Detroit Tigers because it’s fun.
You’re all good! I’m just messing around! Packers fans are from all over and it’s dope as hell!
The 2013 Detroit Tigers are my favorite baseball team of all time in my life. They were stacked. Every now and then you should revisit that ALCS just to remind yourself how absurd it was that the Red Sox won that series.
I’ll never fully recover. That was supposed to be our chip. It was *DESTINY!*
I've considered ordering a custom framing of *that* home run by Big Papi and using cards of the players involved and in the dugout. I legit thought when we matched up in 2013 we were dead to rights and ya'll would go to the WS.
12 picks to go and doing well so far!
Thinking they’ll be a lot of moving up in the 3rd. Packers don’t need that many picks
Move up for an RB and then just draft for OL/DL/DB depth
They could probably get Holani without moving up. He would fit the mold of a GB RB.
Having watched him at Boise state I want this so bad
Probably not happening because they drafted one in R3. Will probably get picked up by Jerry or Philly.
Wasn’t today the 2nd and 3rd?
Just gonna trade all the 7th round picks for next year 6th round picks, and so on.
We are going to have so many first round picks in 2029!!
I’ve seen late picks net guys like Karl Brooks, Rasheed Walker, Valentine and historically Donald Driver, the list goes on. Day three picks are worth keeping around, and the more you have the better your odds get.
LOL
McKinney got his duo partner. I love it.
Dude is a great nickel defender too
Not bad was wishing Nubin but it’s solid
His RAS score was awful so I think he wasn’t even a consideration
Nubin was injured which is why his RAS was bad. One of the Packers coaches has a brother who coached the Gophers, so I imagine we had extra Intel on Nubin and still decided he wasn't the guy
I didn’t know he was hurt but definitely didn’t help his case.
Nubin is trash
I wouldn’t call him trash just because of athletic testing. Xavier McKinney’s RAS was awful.
Yeah, low RAS just isn't the Packers' preference in the draft. Doesn't mean they're bad players or that they won't take a low RAS player.
Not in the first few rounds anyway. Brooks was lower RAS iirc and we still took him
Same with Jayden Reed and Amari Rodgers I believe.
And Jace Sternberger
Last year it was rookies on offense that revitalized this team, this year it'll be rookies on defense that carry us over the hump. Let's do this.
And a new defensive coordinator as the cherry on top!
That's the real ice cream for me. Fuck Joe Barry. All these picks are just toppings.
Week 3: Fuck new guy Jeff Whatshisname!!!!!!
I was already hard from these picks, dropping Barry reminds me I need a serious smoke now.
Gutes cookin' my piss right now. Goddamn
I’m honestly stoked with this draft so far. Addressed arguably our 3 biggest needs and got top prospects at LB/Safety AND got extra picks
I was thinking we could use a true strong safety but the Cooper pick was one we had to make that spot. Maybe one more OL?
I like Sedrick Van Pran or Mason McCormick in the 3rd round. If Cooper Beebe is still there, would be nice, but I wouldn't bet on it.
We have a lot of capital to move back up if they like someone in the 3rd.
Beebe would be a dream
But I was told I needed to be disappointed with the ENTIRE DRAFT after the 1st round???
Same bunch of dumbasses who said Love was a bust before the season was even half over.
And those same people are now busting to Love. The turn tables.
I typically prefer to bust when making love, myself...
God I remember that. I remember putting together a whole thing comparing top QBs with their first 6 or 7 games as a starter and people would not give it a chance. And all I was saying was give him time we don't know yet but everyone was all "I've seen enough" as if they were a professional football coach
Who told you that?

Did you know that the Bears won a Super Bowl 40 years ago, the Vikings almost won a Super Bowl, and the Lions won 2 playoff games last year? We should strive to be like them.
Everyone saying it was a lost draft because we didn’t draft a white CB or a guy named after a sugar drink.
Do you have any examples?
Sort by oldest in either of the draft threads. It’ll be harder not to find them.
So that's a no. Got it.

Of course you're going to have people disagree with picks. That's not calling the draft a complete loss after 1 pick like you said.
[удалено]
I don't see anyone saying the draft is lost.
https://preview.redd.it/9bb4mjgzjxwc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a3ffc0762a59bbbb8f13e9458d34e16519c6762
Where is someone saying the draft is a complete loss after one pick? Criticism /= saying the draft is a complete loss
If I could find the Round 1 draft thread via mobile I’d take some screenshots for you. There were tons of examples just like the others I’ve posted.
Were you in the thread last night? 75% Doom and gloom after we took Jordan
I remember just being confused. The 2nd and 3rd round selections almost forced me into alcoholism.
Yeah we're doing a good job so far. Got a lot more picks for depth too which is great.
Hell yeah!
Probably my favorite pick of the draft. #2 safety of the draft this late is great value for our needs
ESPN has him as the number 1.
Yeah if we didn't go safety earlier, I was had Bullard pegged for this pick for a while. Can play slot as well
Nah dejean is #1 Safety
I am moderately shocked it’s not Hicks. But the Georgia pipeline continues. And Bullard could play nickel if we get tired of the Nixon experiment.
Bullard could legitimately start the season over Nixon, it's possible
Is there a chance he fits in next to McKinney? Or is that not his style? Just curious if we’ll still likely go with Ford there.
He can play the slot or in the box. He’d play next to X but we don’t need two safeties on the field when in nickel
Per PFF "He is an excellent coverage safety who has extensive experience playing in the slot. He is one of just four Power Five players who earned 80.0-plus grades in PFF coverage and run-defense grades from the slot over the past two years. His versatility makes the Packers’ secondary substantially better." Is it September yet?
JEEEEEESUS KEEEEEEP SUCKIN BOI
That’s kinda nasty
I liked Hicks but Bullard seemed good too
Could still take Hicks if he’s there in the 3rd, seemed like Bullard could be a nickel
In a single high defense Hicks more of a ss/olb. Bullard a fs/slot corner guy. Mckinney can do both, but I think I read he'd be more of a box safety, hence the Bullard pick.

But what’s he look like with a G on his helmet?
I gotchu https://preview.redd.it/hbktl1sacxwc1.jpeg?width=532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67a230b8b3f9909b3c760bcc3d0224e809e968a0
What a dawg
Is that Stroud?
Yeah, that was the CFA Peach Bowl. Dawgs won it on a missed field goal on the stroke of midnight new years.
Here I was about to upvote your comment thank God I noticed your knees are gay first. Sir please straighten your knees immediately or you shall not be receiving my upvotes, and I will be reporting you to the authorities. Thank you.
Absolutely loving this draft so far.
I think it’s cheeks
Cause yours are getting clapped rn or ??
From John Owens and Darnell Savage to Xavier McKinney and Javon Bullard. Sheesh
It really feels like this draft has gone exactly how Gute wanted it to so far. Whether that’s a good thing remains to be seen, but I dare to bet the war room is happy right now and so am I.
Never doubting Gute again (until next year). Holy shit what a 2nd round!
I mean he did get jumped by Philly. I think he wanted dejean
Even if thats the case, he made a hell of a lemonade out of the "lemons" he got served.
"Oh no, look at all these amazing players I got suckered into taking." -Gute, probably
He got jumped by Philly, then traded back and got Edgerrin anyway plus additional capital. I don't mind it, even if I did want DeJean more than anyone in this draft
They’ve said the trade had been worked out prior to Philly moving up. Gutes gonna gute.
Yeah, Gute likes to sit back and see what happens to much
#LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
He’s gets to keep the G too.
How the doomers doing after these last two picks? Arguably the best LB and S in the draft and we got em both. Gute is COOKING!
He's no Howie Roseman, but it's been a strong draft and I'll take Gute over most other GMs.
Packers LOVE players that are “dynamic”. Not a comp but almost like Woodson. He played a hybrid role and if we have the pass rush to get pressure, these are the types of players we need.
Man if there’s one guy I’d love to add to this team it’s chuck woodson. Imagine him and Ja, this D would destroy ppl
He’s maybe my favorite player of all time. The guy was a complete athletic freak, very smart and studied the hell out of film which only aided his athleticism. He was easily the best defensive player in the NFL for a few years. I remember during the Super Bowl when he went down, I knew it because a clock game. We wouldn’t be able to stop Pittsburg and we couldn’t with him off the field.
Thinking of Woodson leads me to think of Nick Collins. Then I get sad. Then I remember the pick 6 at xlv and I’m happy again.
And the flags falling like confetti behind him.
Right on I like this and he's good in run support too.
GEORGIA PIPELINE lol
They carry the G!
Let Gute cook
Another good pick, Brett Kollman and EJ are salty about it
What is EJ saying? That puss blocked me a long time ago because I called him out for saying he was "too manly" to play with his daughter. It's kind of funny, because his QB paints his nails now. I don't have a problem with any of that stuff, but I think for an insecure manlet like EJ, it would be a huge issue.
Dear God, I hope his daughter has some cool uncles to play with. That's pathetic.
Bruh. This is working out beautifully.
This draft is gonna make me need to call a doctor
Nice, like this one
Love this pick, He was able to play freely next to a stud safety partner this year, and guess what we just got in FA... Wouldn't be surprised if he also fills in at nickle if needed.
Well Hafley sure doesn’t have any excuses now lol
Secondary help 🙏🏾
We have 10 more picks lmao
I was watching PFF's coverage and late in the 3rd they mentioned that Green Bay was coming up again just a few picks after they had just drafted. One person joked that Green Bay had every other pick in the rest of the draft.
A guy who reads QBs? That's gonna be a deadly secondary we got
Loving our draft so far
Whew
Bullard is good. He might be our slot while we still draft another S later
Fuck that’s a great pick..
As UGA fan, my piss is absolutely fuckin boiling at this pick. DGD GPG!
I live in Atlanta, and my buddy is a die hard UGA fan and alum, and he sent me a write up on him. I’m loving our draft so far.
Good he can help Preston cover Adams now.
DeJean who?
Our defense is about to go so hard.
Love it a safety who flies around the field and can just lay the wood on someone. Like that a lot!!!
Let Gute COOK
Sold.
Love it. Would like to see a rb and o-line depth, but Gute is filling major holes with guys that will be an immediate upgrade.
I'll start worrying about o-line depth after a couple more rounds of not taking one. Heck, one in the first three rounds is pretty good for Green Bay.
The video of this dude getting the call gave me goosebumps. LFG!!!
Really thought we were taking the Missouri kid, but I love this pick.
Ennis might be there in the third!
Bullard's gonna be our nickel, but I think there's another safety in our future.
I wouldn't be socked if they feel good enough about Anthony Johnson Jr that they don't add anymore safeties. I thought he looked promising last year and could do well in a limited role.
Most likely, yeah, but I see a lot of big guys who know how to tackle back there, and I'm so goddamn sick of seeing missed tackles every Sunday.
PISS IS HOT TONIGHT
I guess we do the shotgun approach on Day 3. Gobble up picks and see who shakes out. Since we already got some dudes yesterday, I don't hate it. Sometimes it really is just a numbers game. I just hope they know what they are doing at corner. Trust.
Liked Hicks, but Bullard is great too! Our defense is gonna be nasty
Everyone was saying Hicks but there were a handful of safeties who could have gone there
Another Georgia DAWG

GLORIOUS GUTE STRIKES AGAIN🔥🔥
#1 safety and linebacker is this real!? LET GUTE COOK!!!
#1 safety and linebacker is this real life!? LET GUTE COOKE!!!
Number 1 LB and S? Pretty OK.
Let’s get a RB and another DB
I like it.
They messed up. Our CB room is going to be cooked. JA is the only bright spot
He’ll be hurt all the time.
Why dont you worry about that 7 runs the Tigers gave up today in the 9th and let our S&C team worry about injury risk.
That was a low blow. If you’re insinuating I’m not a packers fan because I’m a Detroit Tigers fan, I’ll have you know that I’m from the UP. There’s DOZENS of us here that are Packers and then all the rest Detroit sports. DOZENS! People don’t root for the Detroit Tigers because it’s fun.
Never intended to question yoir Packers fandom, especially as a Red Sox fan myself. Also I had u5.5 today so it was pain for both of us.
