There are a couple really interesting players this year who are at a talent level that we probably wouldn't normally have access to with our draft slot but may drop because of injury. The problem being they may not be ready to play until mid/late season or next year.

CB Sidney Jones is quite possibly the best CB in the draft but tore his achilles. Could be a huge steal for us if he's able to come back from the injury but we'd have to wait on him.

TE Jake Butt and CB Fabian Moreau could be available to us at our 2nd round or maybe even later picks

You are typically waiting on rookies to start having a big impact anyways so these guys are something to think about.

In fact I can't think of many players who Ted drafted who were expected to go much higher injured or not. You know, the guys who make you say "I can't believe he was still there."

That yes he had some injury issues but they believed he was past it. I realize some fans (nerdman will insist he was fine and was actually injured in TC.)

Thank you for the information. I was not aware that Harrell was originally projected to go that high. I didn't always pay as much attention to pre draft hype as I do now, not that I pay a lot of attention to it now.

The current GB GM's professed draft strategy has been to draft the best player/s available. Filling the team's greatest needs is not the primary concern . However these two ways of thinking sometimes converge . It has happened before .

IMO, drafting the best CB available may just be one of those intersections this NFL Draft . After-all I am not alone in recognizing how much GB's current squad of CB's truly SUCK BILDGEWATER .

If you want more I can get them for you. It really doesn't matter which players we talk about because we have no idea what players the other GMs are going to select, how soon they will take them, which players are available for Un cle Teddy to choose from and which ones he will want. But if you want the next 100 names or if this top 100 list doesn't keep you busy I can find another one.

beast (18h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (22h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
