Can we all agree the Jags are just lost?

They're playing "Don't Stop Believin'" for the Jags...

[Joseph Zarr]

Seeing Jermaine Johnson's jacket, I think some of the character concerns may have some legs. That thing is what you might call 'loud'.

[PeaveyFury]

Packers stay at 28 and make the pick...

[HarveysWBs]

Gute did not hesitate sending in the pick here. Must love somebody out there, or else he’d still be fielding calls. Interesting.

[endaround]

Is there really a universe where Lloyd or very similar talent wasn't there at 33?

[reillymcshane]

I had said a Lloyd/Wyatt combo would be awesome. I'll take Walker/Wyatt as well.

Johnson's character concerns aside, a guy's jacket being cause for concern is an unfair characterization.  There have been a lot of guys that have worn some pretty outlandish things to the draft.  It's a loud, brash event, and it's a glitzy, outlandish event at that.

Deion Sanders called...

Some pretty juicy names there. I'd love to see Wyatt on the board at 22 and then read all the chatter in that 15 minute window that the Packers are surely taking him. Then laugh when they take someone else that they're perceived to be reaching for. Wyatt is 24 years old.

Probably should have waited until after 28 came in to take that victory lap....

I'm sorry did they pick Wyatt at 22?

Looks like neither of us can claim much victory on this one. Perhaps having 2 first made them comfortable taking an older player at 28

[endaround]

Whoops, someone had written Dean instead of Wyatt

[HarveysWBs]

Age would not concern me much at this point. So a guy is 24.  They don’t need to give him a second contract. Window is right now.

[CheezWizHed]

So much for the picks coming fast.... 

[sveumrules]

Rams don’t have any picks so they have to bring out Andrew Whitworth for our pick ?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Gute's favorite fruit is most definitely a peach - by the bushel baskets

[LouisEly]

Off by a few picks, but... BOOM!

Don’t be surprised if it’s: Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia – the Packers covet elite athleticism, and Wyatt demonstrated that by running a 4.77-40 at the combine. Disruptive, great lateral movement, high effort at chasing down the play. Like other Georgia defenders his stats were deceivingly low because of so many playmakers in their front seven; PFF gave him a 90.1 grade and ranked him first in positively graded play rate against the run and 10th in pass-rush win rate. DT isn’t nearly as deep as WR is, so the Packers may go with athleticism at DT and address WR later.

And yes it does matter and it's not just Raimann. Here is a list of player pushing 23+ who might go in the first round that I'd happily make a friendly wager with anyone here that the Packers won't draft with either of their 1st round picks...

Bernard Raimann

Devin Lloyd

Devonte Wyatt

Trevor Penning (22.9)

Jermaine Johnson

Jalen Pitre (22.8)

Boye Mafe

Jaquan Brisker (22.9)

Arnold Ebiketie

Malik Willis

Kenny Pickett

Abraham Lucas

Christian Watson (22.9)

The bolded I've seen mocked to the Packers at either 22 or 28, or to other teams in that vicinity and linked to the Packers. It's not happening. No QB surprise this year either even if Kenny Pickett were to slide ala Aaron Rodgers.

Some pretty juicy names there. I'd love to see Wyatt on the board at 22 and then read all the chatter in that 15 minute window that the Packers are surely taking him. Then laugh when they take someone else that they're perceived to be reaching for. Wyatt is 24 years old.

Sorry, should have posted the full quote. Sometimes, what is perceived as common knowledge is indeed simply personal perception.

Are the Packers trying to bring the entire Bulldogs defense to Green Bay?

Looks like it.

[reillymcshane]

Oh yeah. The defense is gonna be good next year.

[Joseph Zarr]

Get those Dawgs baby. Let's GO!!!!!

[NBBrewFan]

Awesome draft so far.  Just Awesome.

You're killing it man. Well done! Love it.

[CheezWizHed]

Covering 3 levels of the defense in Bulldogs with our last 3 first round picks.

[Opening Day]

Andrew Whitworth “ playing in the NFL is about what you do on and off the field”

** stands there as the Packers announce they are making a women beater a millionaire.   Sounds about right,

[sveumrules]

Looks like everybody that has wanted a run/defense heavy team might finally be getting their wish.
