NFL Draft Thread

Why safety for GB? That's about the last position they need.

[PeaveyFury]

Such a hard call between choosing from the significant talent still there, and considering letting NE move up for their QB.

Clinton-Dix will be a free agent and is coming off a bad, bad year. Has Josh Jones figured out where to line up yet? He had a full season and at the end still didn't appear to have the slightest clue as to what he was doing. Packers need all sorts of defensive backs, not just cornerbacks.

Fitzpatrick would be a slot corner, or even an outside guy in Pettine's defense. He likes big corners who can press. Ward is even bigger, but more a traditional safety.

[JosephC]

I'd guess the next three picks are some combination of Edmunds, Via and James...which would mean Fitzpatrick makes it to #14.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Dolphins taking Fitzpatrick. I think James goes to Tampa next.

[PeaveyFury]

Man, I think that makes Edmunds our pick, and I’d be thrilled.

[LouisEly]

The last first round safety the Packers tried to convert to corner didn't work out real well...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Would Packers take Edmunds? Pairing him with Martinez instantly makes the defense better. Never thought he'd still be here.

[LouisEly]

Tampa or Washington could take Edmunds.

 

Just my luck if he slides though, because on my first run I had Edmunds but changed it...

[JosephC]

Wow, Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins. Now Tampa Bay probably takes James. Bummer if the Packers miss out on all the top DBs, although it probably should have been expected.

[CheezWizHed]

Who says they convert him? I'd guess he plays the in-the-box safety with Jones at nickle LB. Find good players and put them in the position to play.

[JosephC]

If James and Edmunds are the next two picks, IMO that is worst case scenario for Green Bay. When balancing value and need, IMO there is a huge falloff after those two players. Vea may be of similar value, but I don't think the Packers can take him with Clark already locked down on the nose.

[brewcrewdue80]

I think its funny some of the highlight film you showcase to promote these guys as studs. When watching its like, um thats a bad throw by the QB in to quadruple coverage. A LB blowing up an undersized RB who thinks the OL was going to block.

[PeaveyFury]

Holy crap. Did not see Vea coming off there.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

There goes Vea! Yes! Edmunds or James will be there.

[JosephC]

Outstanding. Vea to Tampa Bay. James or Edmunds will be available at #14. Someone would have to offer me a ridiculous boatload of picks to get me out of that spot now.

I guess I'm a lot higher on Landry than you are.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

I bet the Pats are on the phone. They want Lamar Jackson.

[PeaveyFury]

Watch them take a second-tier corner like Alexander or Jackson...

[JosephC]

Now of course I worry about the Packers taking Kolton Miller.

[superfly]

gonna LMAO when we take some guy nobody thinks should go before pick 30.

[LouisEly]

Washington takes Edmunds (last in rush defense last year), Pack trades down...

 

Or not.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

De'Ron Payne! Packers have their pick of Edmunds or James!

[PeaveyFury]

Well. A lot of talent here.
