Unreal that the Packers didn't pinch pennies to secure Dejean.

We don't need more late round picks

Unreal that people are still questioning Gutey's draft strategy.

You're right, he's sitting there polishing his Super Bowl trophy...

Packers traded out immediately so he was just swiped.

Could be. But you have no idea who they valued at what level. Trading down to get the next best option could very well be worth it.

Honestly, complaining how he has built this team is laughable.

Half watching, but feels like every 2nd round pick has been traded.

All these picks will help us trade up for a kicker later

My guess is they had a significant number of players that they rated equally, and would be more than happy to have:

ex. DeJean, McKinstry, Melton, Powers-Johnson, Cooper

And knew that no matter what one of them would be available, even with moving back. So might as well secure some extra picks and get one of your highly desired players.

The only other option would have been to try to trade up and get 2 of them, but waste a lot of draft capital to do so.

Fine pick.   Unless he turns into DB Cooper.

Exactly.

Justis Mosqueda from @acmepackingco thinks they were targeting Cooper among others. They needed an LB anyway.

Stellar pick if he turns into Alice Cooper.

So I guess the Bills just liked Keon Coleman more than Xavier Worthy?

Round 2 worked out pretty well for GB.

Pretty much got who they wanted and picked up extra picks.

Someday, I hope that someone loves me as much as Gutey loves defenders from Georgia.

Awful draft by the Packers so far.  Failing to address kicker will cost this team

Rakestraw Jr was rumored to be a possibility for Detroit at 29.  Doubling down on DBs is interesting.   Depth no longer an issue.   So many additions on defense during the offseason.

The last 6 games of the season must have really (ticked) Holmes and Campbell off.  Maybe Detroit will have enough defense that Campbell can trust it to win games.

only explanation I can think of is they’re working on convincing Chris Jacke to come out of retirement.

Crosby would pull a Tonya Harding on Jacke...

ESPN's Matt Miller made the case Saturday that Mel Kiper belongs in Canton, and it's hard to argue with the point.
The draft has become one of professional football's biggest events (see: 700,000 people in Detroit while millions watched on three networks in prime time), and it's in no small measure due to the draft industrial complex Mel pioneered.
