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.
I $%@# HATE that all the analysis and talk starts with a minute of how we didn't get a 1st round receiver and/or the Rodgers talk. So regodamndiculous!
So for decades I had to hear that the Packers couldn't give Rodgers a defense to win it all. What a disservice.
So now when we are trying to give Rodgers a defense it is a major disservice we don't give him a weapon when the team was the #1 offense in 2020.
Do they know how stupid that sounds?
It's even more $%@# stupid than that! He has the games beat receiver, the games beat left tackle, a guard who may now be top 3, a TE who led the league in YD receptions, and a RB who is probably top 5. $%@#! Just stop!!
Ok, settling in for another all nighter of watching the draft until 5am.
Every year I say this is my favourite day of the draft. Then Saturday comes and we have 3 times as many picks and I have to admit that is actually my favourite day.
Tonight is WR night. Packers will likely trust their board but Gute said they might lean more on needs this year due to being a game away from the SB and last night he said they took a CB in part because they had just 1 CB on the books next season. Well it's even more thin at WR in 2022.
I think they take 2 WRs from this draft, one tonight, one tomorrow.
I'm less worried about OT. Would like one but our OL has been rock solid for a while now. We have 3 second year OL coming in, Turner looked very solid at RT, Lucas Patrick can play C, Jenkins is a stud and we'll draft another couple tomorrow who will probably end up being pro bowlers. The Packers is a Day 3 Pro Bowl Olineman Factory.
I would really like a DT and a WR today. This team has needed to get better at DT for years. God forbid anything happens to Clark. The Packers never needed a #1 WR with Adams on it. Get a guy in the 2nd or 3rd to develop and challenge Lazard/MVS for a starting spot and have him ready to take over as the #1 after Adams next contract (provided he doesnt go Brandon Marshall on us).
Im not opposed to a center. Humphrey, Dickserson, and Myers are all beasts. I would like another CB but I think that kills upgrading our other positions. Maybe tomorrow.
