GREEN BAY – After his Pro Bowl snub last month, David Bakhtiari thought it might be funny if he wound up being a two-time All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler when all the dust settled on the 2017 season.

That’s exactly how things played out for the Packers’ starting left tackle.

Bakhtiari second-team All-Pro
Bakhtiari was named second-team All-Pro on Friday, as determined by a vote of 50 media members of the Associated Press. It’s the second consecutive year Bakhtiari has been named second-team All-Pro.

It's funny, how the pro-bowl snubbed the top two All-Pro LTs.

Also I read Jeff Janis came in 4th for ST All-Pro player of the year (of course that was with only 2 of 50 votes (4%)).... Budda Baker, Arizona Cardinals and Matthew Slater, New England Patriots finished as the top 2, not sure who finished 3rd. But still someone (with a vote) thought Janis as the best STer in the NFL.

I'm wondering if any players have an "all pro" clause put into their contracts?

Pro bowl is pretty much a joke anymore.
There will be 5th and 6th picks going at some positions because guys just don't want to participate anymore.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Derek Carr is somehow going.

Especially O-line and D-line selections make absolutely no sense. Maurkice Pouncey didn't have a very good year, but gets in on name. Brandon Linder is a big reason for this Jags team coming out of nowhere, but doesn't get a mention.

My biggest annoyance might just be how the rosters are made up, though. 4-3 OLBs and 3-4 DEs don't stand a chance, unless they're playing at a ridiculously high level like a JJ Watt. I mean, 6/8 OLBs are 3-4 guys, while just 14 of 32 teams employ a 3-4 defense. DE is even more skewed.

More on topic... Finding a diamond like this in the fourth round at one of the premier positions in the NFL is amazing. The extension he signed in 2013 is an absolute steal, as well, looking at it now. We're paying him as the 12th left tackle in the league, for 2nd best play in the league.

I stopped making efforts to watch Pro Bowl when it went off over the air TV and then even less when it became a fantasy draft thing. All-Pro is where it's at. Any good agent would use that not pro bowl. In my way if thinking anyhow.

beast (18h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (21h) : 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 (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link

Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : lol

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Gutekunst said early stages of Jordan Love contract being discussed.
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
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
