I like the idea of Winfield, but is selecting him a decision that he replaces Harris? It’s not really a need position. It makes me more concerned that they are delaying further the addressing of actual OL/DL needs.

I have no idea if this is realistic but from a money perspective what if they move Harris in a deal for Williams and then take Winfield to replace Harris? Talks about a Williams deal seems to be still lingering but I think they need to free up cap to get it done. Is this a possible solution?

Spielman Discusses The Picks of Jefferson and Gladney In Round One
He says they intend to try to trade up into the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
For Jefferson he said they were looking at two players they were happy with when the Eagles picked, so no need to trade up (I wonder if Reagor was the other guy?) and that there is still a lot of WR left that they are interested in adding later on. In a follow up question he says Jefferson was one of 3 guys they were looking at there and they were willing to lose out on Jefferson if that had been the Eagles pick.
For Gladney he says he fits all the things they are looking for at cornerback. He says Gladney is versatile enough to play inside or outside, he mentions Gladney being particularly good in the red zone and he mentions Gladneys 33" wingspan as being a factor in their decisions. He said there were enough players they wanted on their board that they were fine with trading down to 31 and still getting one of those players, which they did when they selected Gladney.
Zimmer Addresses The Gladney Pick, Team's Situation at Cornerback Zimmer refuses to make a comparison between the players. He says that Gladney has good quickness and length similar to what Spielman said about Gadney.
Being curious about this length issue I looked up what the average wingspan at corner is and that is 31"

I haven't heard anything further about this. I presume they are still interested in Williams. Spielman is talking about trading up with draft picks. No mention of using those picks to trade for players.

Courtney Cronin on Twitter today said they offered a Day 3 pick last week...She also mentioned a little about possibly sending Reiff and a pick to WAS to help with the money...nothing definite but those are the things she said...

Cleveland or Jones!!
I know they're not done at WR and CB, but yeah I'd like to see some investment in both lines soon.

And they haven't moved up to get any (plus got a couple extra picks to move down)!!
Wouldn't mind them packaging some picks to get Mims or Fulton or a DT they like...

So happy they got Cleveland. I think I preferred Jones but I like them both.
There are still a handful of guys not drafted from my wish list. Maybe now the price would be right to move up and get one of them like Madubuke. or another corner.

Zimmer definitely wins for comfiest draft cabin.

Dillon is a beast though. He worries me a bit.Loving what bears and packers are doing, wasting their picks on positions they're already stacked at.
Yeah I'm being a bit silly but Jones was already pretty awesome... Does another back really transform this team?
Biabreakable
Footballguy
Agreed. I guess I just don't see a team moving more towards committee RB being a concern. Now had they loaded up at WR, TE, OL... then I'd be worried about how that would give a boost to Rodgers.
Heatman
Footballguy
I've got a feeling Rodgers is on his way out. Sooner than later. Let's just hope Love doesn't live up to his Mahomes comps some have made.

Yeah its kind of strange. Like they are setting things up for down the road to have Rodgers pass the ball less in the near term.
There still is a lot of good WR prospects left. Some of the WR selected so far Not out of the woods yet. Great start for them not getting much impact from the draft for 2020 though.
The Vikings likely have not improved at WR for 2020. Just have to hope Jefferson is close to what DIggs has been.
Oddly enough it sure seems that way. I have a hard time imagining a guy with a Senior season of 20-17 TD/Int ratio ending up being an NFL starter and pushing out a probable Hall-of-Famer, but stranger things have happened.

The Packers were basically not competitive without Rodgers so I can see why upgrading their back up QB is a priority.
Its insurance though not upgrading the bottom line.
I think the Vikings have improved because of Cleveland. Gadney and Jefferson hopefully can replace Diggs and Waynes, that is just trying to get back to what they had though.

Well so much for that. The Ravens strike again.

Not going to lie...wouldn't be upset if they took Eason or Fromm in the 3rd round. Seriously, Mannion is not good!
FunkyPlutos
Footballguy
I was thinking the same thing, but I know he has some accuracy issues. But for a play-action based offense, seems like his traits fit better. Could he be had in the 4th?
FunkyPlutos
Footballguy
Possibly, but I doubt it...I don't think either one gets all the way through the third.
This is true, but I'm at least happy they've tried to fill those holes. Better than adding to spots that already have solid starters, especially in rounds that have the best chance for immediate impact.

Elliott, Gallimore, Lewis or Greenard would be my preferences (in no particular order)

If they miss out on Elliot or Greenard now I'll be ticked.

I wish I was excited about Greenard.
