Packers Huddle

Vote for your Packers specific big board, consider needs and historical team trends.

Vote for a few people, hopefully, especially at the top, we can pull off a handful of guys per poll, finding top tiers or whatever.



2022 Packers Big Board
1. Aidan Hutchinson - EDGE - Michigan
2. Travon Walker - EDGE - Georgia
3. Kayvon Thibodeaux - EDGE - Oregon
4. Evan Neal - OT - Alabama

6. Kyle Hamilton - S - Notre Dame
7. Jordan Davis - DL1T - Georgia
8. Ahmad Gardner - CB - Cincinnati
9. Derek Stingley - CB - LSU
10. Charles Cross - OT - Mississippi State

This should be when it starts getting more fun here.

Can't believe I am the only vote for Dean. Stud.

Meh, Packer specific ranking here, both built on need, positional importance, and our historical traits.

A short, undersized, inside linebacker. Doesn't check any of those three boxes above.

Maybe it's time for a change bf'er? So tired of hearing the Packers only draft players that have to check their imaginary boxes.

I think Gute has been breaking it moreso than his predecessor (guys like Jaire and Amari Rodgers, etc.).

But clear he really likes big length on the OL and front 7.


However, a bigger ILB is more a 3-4 thing than a Packer thing.


But yeah, I just don't think an undersized off ball LB is going to be too high on our radar this year. I could be wrong, I often am, but I hope I'm right this year. If for no other reason that I'd have to ban half the forum and lock 200 threads if GM Packfntk trades up for an ILB when guys like London, Wilson, Olave and Williams are all on the board.

That’s how I’m feeling about trading up for Jordan Davis

I still don't really want to trade up for anyone. Everyone is kind of in one big blob. I would rather have a few cracks at a couple of guys.

I generally never want to trade up, but I’m definitely fine with multiple moves to maximize draft capital and value that still leave us with some excess picks.

Like trading 22 and 59 for 14; but also trading 28 to Houston for 37, 108, and 109…

Things like that.

I'm leaning on wanting to keep 22 and 28 and trade 53 or 59 and 92 something in the early 40's.

Yeah, getting the feeling there are about 10 prospect in top tier, and if some fall due to QB needs etc, we could take take advantage of it by trading up. After that, it's pick where you are or take advantage of a deep draft by trading down.

I have settled on two ideal trades (pending the board, of course) that I think put the Packers exactly where I want them. At 22, no WR worth taking, flip to NYJ for 35+69. Then, in Round 2, flip 53+92 for 41 with SEA. Leaves us with 28, 35, 41, 59, & 69. Definitely will lose out on higher end options from 22-27, but eliminates that dead zone between 28 and 53 and gives us two shots at guys in the higher end of that range. Also gives us one last shot at a top-100 guy that we really like by moving us up over 20 picks in Round 3.

Might just steal this for my final mock.
