I did not follow this draft, but if I could have moved up to where we did and give up only a 4th to secure an ILB, I make that trade with a big smile on the face and take either of the two LBers that went right after Love (I liked the Texas Tech dude whose name eludes me now, too, though Queen would...

Yoop doesn't give a &%$@ how many places rate Love at 26, Love isn't Rodgers, and Love will never be Rodgers, and we snubbed him of a better receiver in one of the best receiver draft classes in the last decade, we sure put him in his place, this has to one of the most idiotic drafts we've had ...

Nice to have a real C for depth purposes. Solid use of a 6th.

NFL.com scouting report wasn't very informative. TDN has better ones: https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/kamal-martin/UnFZhXnuFY Sounds like a "thumper"-ILB. A pretty meh pick, but I'll take it. A late 5th is basically a 6th, and we will need a guy like that on the second-level, given that...

Perhaps the most talented quarterback in this class, his arm and movement ability reminds me more of Patrick Mahomes than anyone since Patrick Mahomes. It's ideal that Love can sit on the bench for a few years to clean up his decision-making and mechanics, just like Rodgers once did in Green Bay. (...

from the smile on McCarthy's face he had to be thinking, finally a GM that will get me a quality WR, with Ted I was forced to watch my HOF QB struggle year after year as our WR's declined with injury, and Ted kept shuffling through all these low floor boom/bust receivers, nice to be appreciated aga...

Gonna put my overall thoughts on our draft thus-far here... (I do not like the QB pick. I will elaboate on that later in the thread designated for that pick.) I don't think either of the two offensive skill-player picks are poor prospects or draft value from what I'm reading about them (I do questio...

Y'all should step back from the draft a bit, at least stop LARPing scouts and GMing. Its really freeing. When you have literally zero sense of value (face it, once the draft is over value becomes exactly what the picks were, the value of anything is merely what someone is willing to pay for it), an...

Honestly, after the McCaffery contract, I think this is a sensible pick. I am not jazzed about it, but it's sensible. We have likely made the calculation that Jones is a goner, which sucks, but there is a strong argument to be made that he's our fourth priority next free-agency and the money's just ...

So if the 2020-2021 season is cancelled due to SARS-COV-2 (I call it by that name rather than the other two much more common names because I am the absolute worst), are players' existing contracts 'tolled' for the year and continue on as normal the next season? Because one of the only ways this pick...

The nice thing about shunning the draft for ~48 hours is you get to see our Day 1 -and- Day 2 picks together. So if you have a decent first three rounds, a pick from those that you don't like doesn't ruin it too much. Conversely, if it was a lousy Days 1 and 2, at least you were not sitting and watc...

Also, no Badgers pls. Our last two Badger picks were busts and that's a big enough sample-size for me to conclude that Packer-Badgers are irredeemibly cursed.

NO BADGERS!!

From Tony Pauline:

Aside from my horniness(!) for any decent ILB, Mims is a guy I also quite like.

1. Simmons
2. Queen
3. Murray
4. uhh, ... Dye?
5. IDK I just want an ILB worth a damn, gorrammit!

Yeah, tough to buy that he went AWOL in the playoffs due to anxiety when the guy has played a pretty key/contributing role for his team in the SuperBowl.

Maybe it was part of something, but I doubt it was the whole thing.

Nobody liked the idea of Ruiz when I brought him up. Granted that was at 30. I think he's a real option. I've started leaning more towards Hennessey as an option though. He was one of the BPA's in the mock sim I did. I gave it some thought, but unless we're expecting Linsley to depart, can't say I'...

I'm not following this draft at all closely, but from the info above, Simmons sounds like a flat-out GAMER. 'Sucks that we have no shot at him.

I had a go at it -- first (and probably last) mock of 2020. I wanted to experiment with a very specific strategy: target off-the-ball LBs (our biggest need, IMO) in the mids. Queen was there at 30 but I pretended he wasn't. Murray and ofc Simmons were gone. https://i.imgur.com/9QA9w9W.png Also, I do...

For the record I am not pro move up. Especially for a wr. But I wanted to play with the idea.

It's an interesting idea; I appreciated this mock presenting it for discussion.
