Love the overall strategy. Like the picks - not sure about Garappolo but I don't hate it (yet). Other than getting raped in the trade you're doing great (a team trading up from 7 to 4 for a QB is giving up at least a #2 this year or a #1 next with nothing else going back).
Reaction, Packers fans?This is unexpected.
2.53 Green Bay - Daquan Jones, DT - Penn St.
One of the biggest reasons for the Packers getting rolled last year was that their d-line was a wreck. Raji likely won't be back and the rest are mediocre. Jones was nearly dominant the last half of last season.
We're trying to figure out what the right value would be here.
? Im not understanding. I did get his 2.06 pick
didn't you also give a 3rd? that was the rapey part. I said I liked the strategy and the pick though.
I can take it over if you still need someone to cover it. You've already made a couple of good choices for ARI in the first couple rounds and hopefully I can do at least a serviceable job with the remainder. Hopefully taking over later will be just as much fun as having the team from the get-go.
Not a Packers fan, but NT was a need, and there is a pretty healthy drop off from Jones to next available NT.Reaction, Packers fans?This is unexpected.

Yes, it is conventional to pay a round higher next year for a pick this year, as the other team needs to wait a season.We're trying to figure out what the right value would be here.
I'm thinking that it's a scenario close to what the McDaniels led Broncos did in 2010 when traded a 2010 first-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2009 second-round pick to select undersized cornerback Alphonso Smith.
Isn't that typically correct. A likely late 2015 1st is worth a late 2014 2nd, isn't it?
Thanks. Feel free to make picks. I likely won't be available through Noon EST for the next week & don't want to hold things up.
the logic of the pick is reasonable. IF the Pack do not resign some of their FA (which, btw, are ALL OF THEIR FREAKING STARTERS), then they are going to have to draft someReaction, Packers fans?This is unexpected.

not of fan of kelcy for the pack. most project him for a 4-3 d, not a 3-4d. Imho, Jones is a better widebody dtackle in a 3-4 def
Haha I bet our offensive line looked just dandy to you guys this year.I guess that's what happens when an Eagles fan drafts for the Giants.
They never do with mock drafts. They're worse than Cowboys fans.Packers fans aren't having much fun.
I think you guys pick up a guard or center in free agency and draft Levan if he fails. I think Richardson is the best tackle for their passing game though - and I just missed him by two picks in round 2.Haha I bet our offensive line looked just dandy to you guys this year.I guess that's what happens when an Eagles fan drafts for the Giants.
Maclin and Cooper are both FAs, so I think taking a WR is a good idea. I don't think Cooks is a bad idea, but with so many prototypically sized WRs, I expect Kelly to go after one of them. It's not because I don't think Cooks will be good, but because I expect Kelly to appreciate a bigger and better run blocking WR like Bryant or Adams.
He is undersized at 5'8" 190 lbs., but I think the Honey Badger (5'9" 185 lbs.) is a fair comparison. He went in the early third, but obviously had a ton of character and off field red flags that Joyner doesn't. Despite missing three games (and only starting about 2/3 of the season), he had 65 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INTs and 1 FF. Started at nickel CB, ended up starting at FS, and made an impact for a top 10 defense.

I know what you are getting at but run blocking WR in the 2nd round of this draft? No thanks. I can find one later if necessary. I want my early draft picks to bring something special/elite to the table and I feel I did that with each selection. To the posters who questioned passing on Gilbert in the trade down, would you rather have a top CB in Gilbert or top edge pass rusher in Ford AND a 6'2" safety with range in Reynolds?
I said he would be a good fit in Philly. Kick returns, runs, fake reverses, deep threat, screens, etc. New plays nobody has even thought of.
Would much rather have Gilbert than Ford and cooks. Like the Reynolds pick though. Too many Wrs available and passing on the best shut down corner with size when it's a major need is a mistake IMO.
Not a run blocking WR. I good WR that can run block. Many people think the 2 guys I mentioned are as good if not better NFL prospects than Cooks to start with. So if they are well rounded WRs, and can do what Cooks does but better, why not? It's not like Adams can do nothing but block. That's silly. He can be a great WR.
