fyi The Packers traded him to Jacksonville for a 7th round pick that they used on Anthony Johnson Jr.

I’ll never knock a pick that takes a chance on a GB native who played at Wisconsin.

He went to Bay Port, so lived in Howard ir Suamico. Those are both nice communities. The city of GB itself is a sh!th0le compared to 20 years ago (largely due to the public schools, but not exclusively).

I have more good news for the 2023 roster, per my madden 24 franchise.

Aaron Jones is headed for a massive year. Lafleur knows this is last year as a Packer and he’s going to put massive milage on the tires.

Tj Slayton will have a breakout year. The DL will be a strength for the first time in a very long time.

As I said before, big year for Quay incoming.

Inconsistent play from Love. But we are going to take pressure off him by running the ball.

Watson stays healthy the whole year and goes for just under a 1000.

Team is playoff bound. No rebuilding year, sorry golf cart Bakh.

Okay, there you have it.

Yeah, no golf for Bakh until March.

If Watson stays healthy it will be at least 1200. The Packers will run the ball more and that is a good thing - they should have run it more last season.

Why do you think this is Jones' last year? True there is a huge cap hit but there would also be a huge dead cap hit if they cut him. It is going to be a SB run, you pay the man and bring home the trophy. Structure Gary for a low cap hit in 2024 and Jones' cap is not a problem.

The roster is better than the record will be. Too much inexperience this year and still carrying a lot of dead cap.

Who is the one UDFA that’ll make the team?

I like the WR guy…

Heath? He has to be a lock. Dude was playing with the 1's on offense with Love, and one of Love's favorite targets.

It seems like the guys with the most “go tos” were Heath, Musgrave, Doubs, and Reed. If PS is any indicator, I’d say that’s spreading the ball around pretty well. Add Watson, who has been quiet in PS, and the occasional dump off to Jones/Dillon and TE screen, I’d say that we’re set.

Gute Loves his Draft Picks, Film at 10

I'm always amazed at these articles talking about how an NFL GM loves his draft picks...over UDFAs and XFL players
If you spend multi-millions building a personnel and scouting team...why wouldn't you favor the players they ranked higher ?

Bill Huber is a strange cat and he loves to beat the drum for "Gute loves his draft picks !"
Its just such a " Duh" situation, but a few reporters try to paint it as some sort of character flaw. Especially since GB is well known around the league for rostering UDFAs every year.

Change the headline to:
"After years of in depth studying, Gute favors the players they rated higher" and you can see just how dumb an angle this is for an article.
Come on Huber, step it up

https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/wit ... raft-picks

"Other than his family, there’s nothing that Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst loves more than his draft picks."

Technically, is Whelen considered an UDFA?

If I were to rank their chances of staying, I'd guess:

1) Cox LB
2) Heath WR
3) Pearson FB
4) Telfort LT

I think it's more due to a lot of people from bigger cities coming to Green Bay. I live in De Pere and try to avoid Green Bay as much as possible now.

Cool story on him

https://www.independent.ie/sport/other- ... 08975.html

Whelan moved to the United States from the Garden County aged 13, and he played as punter with the UC Davis Aggies in the Big Sky Conference before spending a season in the XFL

"Should Whelan punt for the Packers in their season opener against the Chicago Bears on September 10, he will be the first Irish-born player to feature in the NFL since Neil O'Donoghue played with the St Louis Cardinals in 1985."

Here's a link to the Packers depth chart from October of 2019 - MLFs first season in Titletown
( you can set it for any date in the Archive drop down)

https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/archive/225/GB

Players still on roster:

3 on offense out of 28
5 on defense out of 26
0 on STs
1 from PS

That's quite the turnover in 4 seasons ( 86 %)

I don't think Whelan should be considered an UDFA as he entered the NFL last year signing with the Saints. He didn't even make it to training camp though.

Right, he was an UDFA last year for the Saints... He'll be considered a first-year player, rather than a rookie. Which is semantics, but I'm assuming we're asking in regards to our streak of keeping an UDFA on the roster every year. That'll be Heath and/or Cox this year, though

Here's # 94 Karl Brooks
- he kinda looks like Mike Daniels to me. It would be awesome if he plays like Mike and his preseason performance was a pretty good start

And this is a good thing after this season. Maybe by December also. The goal this season should be to be a 500 team with 5 games to go.

Crazy it is that much of an outlier, but this is basically what we needed to do this offseason.

Inexperience and youth on offense and Joe Barry concern me, but overall I think this roster is very talented. Oline should be better this year than last with Bahktiari and Jenkins back. WR's and TE's seen to have a lot of potential, but little experience. BUT, we have 2 excellent RB's and good OLine so that helps.

Defense I think has a lot of playmakers on an individual basis that need to be formed into a team defense and we'll be shutting a lot of people down. I think individually they are far better than they play at times. I'd like to see that change. Safety is kind of weak, but the rest is strong to very strong IMO along the starting roster.
