Packers Huddle

I’m not sure I see why people aren’t liking Hyatt. He’s very much in the mold of a Stephon Diggs to me.

Washington, Mingo, and LaPorta are my Top-3.

It's too popular right? So many people want it so we can't get it. That's how it feels, haha. Like "it can't be this easy, can it?"

Ew why do they need to put the Air Force blues right in the center. We have the worst dress blues. Looks like god damn mail men with long pants.

I think the vast majority of people like him. There's just one loud, relentless poster raging against him and a couple lukewarm on him around here.

Forgot to add Gervon Dexter to the list of players I would like a lot

Had him in my mock but after further research I’m out. Can’t deal with that awful of a get off.

Steelers with Porter. Surprised? Good for them!

Titans trade up. We know what this is for, right?

Titans put Tannehill to the side with Levis. Almost, not quite, surprised they didn’t take Hooker.
:-)

Titans are a trash can juice franchise

TE run begins. Starting seeing a good deal of people saying LaPorta would go above Mayer and Washington. But people will question this pick for the Lions as reach again.

Now, do the Lions get a TE?

Wow. Didn’t expect La Porta to go that soon. One of my top 3 favorite players in the entire draft. Never seen a TE so elusive in my life.

The way I see it if we don’t take a round 2 TE this run on TEs is going to be ruthless.

That’s the thing, right. LaPorta is a very good athlete. And the Lions obviously want to have a more exciting offense. He’s better YAC than Wash or Mayer. Kincaid is gone.

LaPorta first 2nd round TE. Was higher on him than some, but surprised. Lions positional value off the charts bad.

Yuh was my 2nd te after Mayer.

Lions definitely pick the guys they want and everything else is outside noise.

Positional value chart is in the eye of the beholder

They would say they are faithful to their board. The rest of us?


Now, how many TEs in the next ten selections or so. I’m hopeful either Wash or Mayer will be available at 42. (Do we need to trade up? I can’t see Guty doing that for a TE.)

I think La Porta here according to my board isn’t a bad pick. I just didn’t think anyone else held him in as such high regard as I did. I do think it’s an odd fit for the Lions because they have St Brown who is their underneath option to get first downs and YAC.
