From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Just throwing some measurables out at some of the common comps.
Kraft and Goedert both went to the same school, so I thought the comps would be lazy, but they look darn close.
Musgrave and Kelce is WILDLY optimisatic, but the numbers really line up, as has been mentioned other places.
I also listed Kincaid's size just to emphasize that he's the shortest and lightest and even before he broke his back and missed testing, was not assumed to be a much different athlete than these guys, but I wouldn't have been shocked if Kincaid's c.o.d. numbers were the best of this group, had he been healthy enough to try them
I do think both have high bust potential. Especially Kraft because the talent gap but I think Musgrave will develop nicely into a Gesecki type at the very worst.
For those wanting to compare Tucker Kraft to Dallas Goedert, coming from a South Dakota boy....Tucker Kraft is significantly better than Dallas Goedert.
Kraft has a colorful personality (think Kelce, Kittle, Gronk personality)
Kraft is a better blocker. I mean SDSU absolutely oblitereated teams. Like it was watching a college team play a high school team in the postseason.
Kraft showed up more in big games. Kraft was an NDSU killa.
I cannot understate how I excited I am about our tight ends. Because from all that excitement over Kraft...Musgrave is the best TE prospect in this class. I have felt that way for a long time and never dreamed he would be available to us in Rd 2.

Our draft, as much as I like it, is very risky. All of our prospects are high-upside guys with questions about their production except for Reed; Reed has questions about his other stuff, but not his production.
I like the high upside dice rolls in large quantities. Buy more high-payout tickets, better chance of a big winner.

Yup. High Ceiling is the theme of the 2023 NFL draft.

Good! Thanks for sharing
Goedert was, as I recall, a famously poor blocker; so that doesn't surprise me. Same school, same athletic profile, but different skillsets and demeanor. Fun times.
I feel like his competitiveness and personality will help get the best out of Musgrave, whose personality and competitiveness seems good/fine, but these two coming in together could be a fun race to playing time as friendly motivation--even though they'll have different usage.

I liked KIncaid more, but I had Musgrave # 3 right behind Mayer, and certainly more then Laporta, games played in college held Musgrave back imo.

I'm not going to devalue a guy because of injury. If anything that is a steal for us because you have to rely on projection.
Kincaid doesn't even try to block. Musgrave is willing. It is why I was much more on the Musgrave train than the Kincaid train. I need my tight ends to at least try and block.
Wonder if they are trying to get a longer deal done.

This matters. What an awesome person. I'm pushing what's she selling. We drank and laughed together tonight and she's gonna be the next big thing. She s packer fan...from Detroit living in Chicago hahahah.
