Couple of thoughts on the draft.
What truly is the biggest need for this team?
I actually like their corners, to the extent the current roster provides. Gunther, Rollins and Randall are young and can get better.
I see a lot of people say they need LB's but I think they are developing well there with Ryan and Martinez. Perry and Matthews outside is one of the best tandems in the NFC. I think Elliott can make a leap this year.
The d-line is jacked with young potential, how that translates come game time, we will have to see. Clark, Lowry, and Ringo all need to step up and realize their potential. Won't be surprised to see Teddy add one other DL in first 3 rds.
My first projection is if Forrest Lamp is still available first round he will be a Packer. I think he is a special player even if he is only projects as a guard. Interior OL will be a top 3 pick.
Teddy has rented TE's for the last couple of years, this is a relatively deep TE class. Howard will be long gone, but I have liked Butt and think he could be a nice long term piece and could be had in the 3rd or so. Njoku maybe 1st Rd??
With Geronimo Allison stepping up in the playoffs and the returning vets, I don't see a high pick being used. But they will draft one somewhere.
My initial thought for this post was to ask for feedback on Joe Mixon to Green Bay. This is assuming McCaffery, Cook and Fournette are off the board. My first thought is that this guy is 20 years old. He attacked that girl when he was 18. There is a lot of talk that he has good character and with the reports that he had a sit down with her leads me to believe, the NFL has been behind getting this guy ready for some camera time. He's going to play! It just comes down to who has the political goodwill to take him on. Green Bay seems to fit.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Thompson draft a QB in the first 3 rounds should a Watson or Kizer fall into the bottom of the 2nd round. Hundley will be a FA in '19 and may be trade bait later this year if someone needs him. Developing someone in the mean time seems logical.
