Packers 2022 NFL Draft Discussion

[PeaveyFury]

Max Mitchell and Zach Tom both scream ‘typical Packer fourth rounder that starts for 12 years’ type o-linemen to me.

Athletic size/speed guys I potentially see the Packers being interested in today:

WR Justyn Ross - Clemson
WR Romeo Doubs - Nevada
WR Erik Ezukanma - Texas Tech
WR Kevin Austin Jr. - Notre Dame
TE Daniel Bellinger - San Diego St.
TE Charlie Kolar - Iowa State
TE Jake Ferguson - Wisconsin
T Max Mitchell - Lousiana
T Nick Zakelj - Fordham
G Darrian Kinnard - Kentucky
G Zach Tom - Wake Forest
C/G - Alec Lindstrom - Boston College
DE Eyioma Uwazurike - Iowa State
DE Perrion Winfrey - Oklahoma
DE John Ridgeway - Arkansas
Edge - Kingsley Enagbare - South Carolina
Edge - Michael Clemons - Texas A&M
Edge - Amere Barno - Virginia Tech
CB - Zyon McCollum - Sam Houston
CB - Jalyn Armour-Davis - Alabama
S - Tysen Anderson - Toledo
S - Dane Belton - Iowa
RB - Zamir White - Georgia
 

Of these guys, I could very easily see Ross, Doubs, Bellinger, Mitchell, Tom, Barno, McCollum and Anderson being prime targets. All fit the size/speed/athleticism type the Packers love.

Mitchell tested poorly.  RAS <5.  Tom is undersized and will likely need to move back to center.  I don't see either being a good fit.

Did a sim draft for the final rounds on PFN.  The Jags wanted pick 132 and I was looking at two EDGE (Robinson and Gunther) and Mccollum for 132 and 140.  All were available, but the offer was the 132 for 157, 188, 197, and 235 so I took it and still came away with Robinson at #140.  Was guessing on the 7th round as I had little knowledge of the picks, but went with BPA/need for the rest.

I hadn’t seen Mitchell’s RAS until now, so I think that’s fair. But Tom’s was very high. I’d be curious if they think him versatile enough to cover guard.

[homer]

That wonderlic?

Tackle Kellen Diesch from Arizona State put up one of the fastest 40 times of any lineman at the combine. I wonder how he graded out athletically overall?

4th overall tackle in RAS. Just ahead of Tom, who was 5th.

He's a little tall/lanky for what they typically look for in a tackle, but they do love their speed guys in that zone scheme. I haven't really looked at him too much ... but maybe. He does check the athleticism boxes.

If they view Tom as having any guard or tackle versatility, the backup center spot isn't exactly locked down right now unless Hanson made a big leap during the season.

Seems like a lot of teams are having good drafts. Speaks to the depth available I suppose.

[NBBrewFan]

Surprised Winfrey is still available, but with the Bucs on the clock first, maybe he doesn't last long.  Saw him moving up several boards before the draft.  Wonder if there was some off-field issues?

From all the variability in boards prior to the draft I think many (including me) were expecting a lot of picks that didn't seem to match the boards, but outside of the entire Patriots draft and a few picks here and there, it's not really been a lot of "reaches".

[PeaveyFury]

For every guy that shoots up draft boards late and gets picked early like Walker, there are guys like Winfrey who shoot up late and fall back down when actually picked.

[homer]

I love how fast the later rounds go

[PeaveyFury]

And there goes Mitchell. It’ll be interesting to see if we have a run on OTs here early.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It's funny how some teams have trends that they target for so long that you can pretty much predict them. Every pick the Ravens have made has made me think "sounds like a Ravens pick"

[Joseph Zarr]

I wonder if the Packers target Amare Barno and his insane 4.36 40. Hard to fathom at 6’5” and 250.

If they want a developmental edge with crazy physical traits, he's the man.

[homer]

Jake Ferguson to Cowboys. Congrats!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Run on TEs right before the Packers pick. Hmmm

I'm liking Zyon McCollum or Justyn Ross here. Or Barno and his crazy athleticism.

[PeaveyFury]

Yeah, that TE run was kind of annoying.

 

McCollum seems like great value here.

[homer]

Ravens taking a punter? Everyone will love it because it's the Ravens

You forgot to put that in blue.  Congrats on being drafted yes, but the 'boys?
