I probably won't be watching tonight as my kid has a double header.   But if the Lions pick Willis at 2, it is proof that this regime is as bad as the rest.

If he is still around with the Ram's pick, perhaps.   Get a impact player on defense at 2.   Or trade down if somebody makes a good enough offer.

I’ve adopted the Lions as my team and If they do this, I will strongly reconsider my allegiance.  I hope they understand the ramifications of such a pick

At least they wouldn't be trading up to draft the NCAA leader in interceptions, who was playing in a mid-major (at best, for football) conference.

Bad teams should always pick D-line and O-line until they've cemented those positions.  If you can't protect your franchise QB... well, we've all seen what happens.

Yep. I'm hoping the Panthers finally draft their franchise LT. They've already made some solid moves to help what had been a bad OL, and drafting one of the 3 LT studs at the top would be nice.

Things broke perfectly for the Panthers. They wanted one of the 3 stud OTs in the draft, and all 3 were still on the board at No. 6 when they picked.

They ended up getting NC State's Ikem Ekwonu, whom some had rated as the No. 1 player in the entire draft.

I hate the idea of a safety at 28 - but both starting safeties this year are probably in their last year in GB. They need to address it in this draft but there are some decent guys left in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

If it wasn't for the off the field stuff, I'd love the Wyatt pick.  Good at both run defense and pass rushing.  The type of 3-4 DE that Green Bay has missing for awhile.

But with Wyatt having some domestic incidents in his past, including one arrest for "family violence", I have some reservations.

I wanted the Packers to grab a WR in this draft, but after the major run (6 drafted before 22), I'm kind of glad they didn't. I think one of the next two might still be available when they pick at 53, but it is risky.

I'd like to see them possibly package 53 and 92 to move up and grab Watson. If not, grab another Georgia guy (Pickens) towards the end of round 2.

Use the other 2nd round pick on a TE.

Double up on WR's by grabbing Khalil Shakir (can be very good out of the slot) or Tyquan Thorton (probably an upgrade to MVS as a deep threat) later on.

Pro Football Focus was not a fan of the Walker pick. Liked the Wyatt pick.

22. Green Bay Packers: LB Quay Walker, Georgia
Pick Grade: Poor
This was a reach in the eyes of PFF, who had Walker as the 45th-ranked player overall on the Big Board and LB4. The Georgia off-ball linebacker isn’t a downhill player in the run game, and he was still more of a reactor than a playmaker. On the bright side, he does have an elite physical profile. Walker is so good at wrapping defenders up with his near 80-inch wingspan. Throughout his collegiate career, Walker missed just seven tackles on 138 attempts.

28. Green Bay Packers: DI Devonte Wyatt, Georgia
Pick Grade: Good
Many expected Green Bay to break the “no wide receiver in the Round 1” streak, but they opted not to do so by grabbing PFF’s top-ranked interior defensive lineman, Devonte Wyatt. No Power Five interior defensive lineman earned a higher PFF grade in 2021. Wyatt also earned a grade above 80.0 both against the run and as a pass-rusher — something no other player at the position in the Power Five accomplished. The former Georgia Bulldog was the most impactful interior defender in the Power Five. That carried through the Senior Bowl, where he led all at the position in win rate during the one-on-ones.

The Athletic was just the opposite, giving the Walker pick a 'B' grade and Wyatt a 'C-'.

Walker is a big swing - all projection. All the measurables are there (I thought the KGB comp by measurables was extremely interesting - https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/quay-walker), but I guess I don't see it.

I would have taken Pickens and the f'd around and saw what happened. I like Wyatt as a player. He's old - wonder if he'd even be considered for a 2nd contract given he'd be 29 5 years from now - but that's a future problem. If he hits for 5 years, you'll live with that.

I would have taken Pickens and the f'd around and saw what happened. I like Wyatt as a player. He's old - wonder if he'd even be considered for a 2nd contract given he'd be 29 5 years from now - but that's a future problem. If he hits for 5 years, you'll live with that.

Defensive line was arguably as bad or worse than the wide receiver position. Run defense was brutal. They have addressed that.

Now it's time for WR and OL.

Oh, I agree. And I think this solidifies what their primary Nickel front will be: 2 DL (Clark, Wyatt), 2 OLB (Gary, Smith), 2 ILB (Walker, Campbell). That gets all 3 of their starting-caliber CBs on the field with significantly better run defense in the front 7 than having a safety play as the 2nd linebacker and one of your edge defenders with his hand in the dirt (as Z. Smith did often when healthy).

I wouldn't do this, but I wonder if this is the end of Dean Lowry, who had a nice season but doesn't have much dead money if cut. Would free up some room for a vet receiver if things don't break well.

For day 2, I would not be sad if they end up with 2 WR and a TE. I have a feeling they'll need to do some moving in Rd 2 to protect themselves though.

Round 2 and 3 always has a lot of gems that for some reason the scouts sour on. The trick is for the Pack to pick the right ones easier said than done

I disagree, Dish. They feel they have the potential for a top 5 defense. The 2 picks were solid. No way you give up 2 1sts for a WR.

ESPN had a fun stat. 7 of the top 8 WRs in the the last 3 years combined were NOT 1st rounders.

Vikings did really get a lot of value there. Packers clearly sweetened the pot to get the Vikings to let them move up.

I thought they could move up far enough to get Watson by trading 53, 92 and then a late round pick to meet the value. A 53 and a 59 is the value of the 30th overall pick.

I like what the Vikings are doing. Capitalized on division's desperation and is stocking up on good, cheap talent so they can keep paying Kirk Cousins.

Watson is not the guy I wanted, but he'll be a gadget player, an MVS replacement deep threat and a special teams player. That's a year 1 floor I can live with.

I value second round picks immensely. I want as many spins at the wheel in round 2 as possible. Watson might be fine, but it’s terrible value that GB gave up. Is Watson that much better than someone at 53 and 59? Wait to see.

The flip side of this is if they were aggressive and traded up in the 1st round to grab a top 4 WR it would have cost them the number 22 and 53.

They were able to move up to get Watson, by using 53 and 59. If you think there isn't much drop off in potential from those top 4 to Watson, what they did makes a heck of a lot of sense.

Yeah but you aren't a GM so it doesn't matter that YOU value second round picks. Some gms have the philosophy that you pick players not picks, so if you like a guy you go get him. Even if he doesnt work out, at least they are being aggressive.  They gave up alot no doubt, but they essentially got 3 first round picks.  They still gave up less than what it would have taken to go up to 12 to get Olave for example.

Never sure when to take you seriously. But if you want a guy similar to Skyy Moore, Calvin Austin III is still available. Small, but absolutely electric, one of fastest guys in the draft and has good hands. (Think Steve Smith, but faster and more explosive).

If he is still available, and no top end TE's. I'd grab him.

Big fan of him.  Lots of work to do with him on the developmental side.  Ole Miss ran a QB-friendly offense that made things easy for him but the dude plays balls out.

Totally agree.  He's first round talent that fell because of his injury and his openness about depression.  He's a good dude, plays his ass off, works really hard, and has an awesome skill set.  Would not be shocked to see him starting early in the year.

Peddle Love ass. He ain't worth a chit, hey?

And Rodgers, too.  Team needs a QB more concerned with winning than commercials, Hollywood and regular season stats

Love that Pack picks up another WR

Like that they grabbed another WR. Not excited about the pick. Think better options are available, and if they wanted this guy they could have gotten him much later.

But what do I know. Watch him be the next in a long line of great packer WRs.

Yeah that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  They are drafting less talented players so veteran free agents would sign with them?

Worse, they gave up what's likely a high 6th round pick in 2023 for two of the last picks in this year's 7th round.

Might be wise for the Pack to take a flyer on Justyn Ross, projected as a likely 1st round pick after his Freshman year at Clemson. A spinal fusion and foot injury later, and he was projected as a 3rd or 4th round selection this year, because of injury concerns.

Has 1st round ability, if his injuries are no longer a concern, he has the talent to contribute.

The Pack made some excellent late round picks. Rasheed Walker in the seventh round could be One heckuva of a pick up.

Sadly, they failed to find a qb capable of winning a Super Bowl and are wasting the best years of Kenny Clark’s career

Jack Coan is one of the better undrafted free agents available . Who knows maybe they give him a shout .

Looking forward to seeing the new prospects in camp

My old boss' son went undrafted, but was picked up by the KC Chiefs as an UDFA.

He had video of "the call" and how the family went bonkers.  TBH, I didn't understand that, I mean, it's better than no shot at the NFL, but I imagine the success rate at making a roster is low when 260+ guys were picked ahead of you.

I have had the opportunity to interact with a lot of college athletes who have the potential to be fringe professionals.  All they want is a chance.  Especially football players where there are no opportunities in other countries like basketball, or a large network of minor league teams.  A non-tryout camp invite at least gets their foot in the door.

I went to high school with Alec Pierce’s uncle (he walked on at DePaul) and have stayed friends with him since. It was really cool to see him get drafted by the Colts, as the family lives in Glen Ellyn. Pierce’s brother played basketball at William & Mary and then transferred to UNC.

Yup, my BIL is friends with Josh Seltzner who signed with the Colts.  Josh is ecstatic for the opportunity even if the chance is small of sticking.

And there's an argument to be made that it's better to the a UDFA than a 7th round pick. As a free agent, you have some control over where you go and can pick a team that may have more opportunities at your position, or a track record of keeping/developing undrafted players.

Big fan of him.  Lots of work to do with him on the developmental side.  Ole Miss ran a QB-friendly offense that made things easy for him but the dude plays balls out.

Projecting to the NFL is tough with QBs like him and I’m not sure Carolina is a great spot for a guy like him but wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the best QB in this class
