Hey gang, I usually post this a day or two before the draft but this year the calendar fell on a personal day where I couldn't put my mind into it earlier today...so late at night here we go. I'm using Sportskeeda because pff is only allowing 3 round mocks without a subscription, and fanspeak is too weird now. Pick 25 flipped to Baltimore along with Pick 126 for Picks 30 and 62 Pick 30: Jordan Morgan Tackle Arizona 6'5 311. Love him against D-Lineman, has some problems with speed... Read more ..read more

1.25 - Traded 1.25/5.169 for 1.27/4.104 1.27 Chop Robinson ED Penn State Why:...in this rendition of the what I think will happen all DB options were gone that I'd trade up for by the 19th pick (Quinyon, Terrion and DeJean all gone). Kool-Aid then went before us but after 19. Any edge I would trade up beyond 20 was gone as well....and here's the arguable shock, I expect Edgerrin Cooper to be gone by our pick too. So with that positional value and adding to our edge group a... Read more ..read more

Starting another general manager thread is like starting a Ford vs Chevy debate or a 'which-oil-should-I-use' thread on just about any powersports forum. However, I was just listening to the Packers Unscripted podcast and they mentioned something that caught my attention. While talking about our need for another safety, they mentioned that there are still FA safeties available and that most of the safeties in the draft are slotted for the very end of the 1st round or later, where we have...

Every year I have some prospects which I feel are way better than their consensus…my best two of recent were Doubs and Tom….but I’ve had a few failures or so far failures as well (Rochell is one and is a Packer atm) That said, who are some guys you’re way higher on than many? I mainly think of guys most say are Day3 and you’re firmly in Day2 type grades. For me a few that quickly come to mind are Malik Mustapha, Cam Hart and Caeden Wallace. Not many if any would be happy to hear their... Read more ..read more

Was just doing some channel surfing and noticed the Memphis Showboats taking on the St. Louis Battle Hawks. 33,000 fans in the stadium, so not a bad crowd. Kind of fun to watch old NFL players and names I recognize. Also, interesting to see some of the rules that differ from the NFL. Loving the Pass Interference rule. If it doesn't look intentional, its a 15 yard penalty. If it looks intentional, a spot foul. Guessing that NFL GM's are keeping an eye on these games, maybe find a... Read more ..read more

Some of these will take a while to be proven wrong, but I can't manufacture intuitions. -Two of the top 6 QB's in this class will turn into useful, long-term starters: J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix. -The streak of disappointing "can't miss" tight ends in the top 20 will continue. -Rome Odunze will be one of the first two receivers to come off the board and will come to be universally recognized as the best WR from this class, perhaps even the best player overall. -Amarius Mims...

Lots of chirping between these two teams during the season and of course the Pacers knocked the Bucks out of the Mid-Season tournament - or, whatever that was ... it really sounds as though these two teams don't much care for each other. Of course, the Pacers have the fact that the Bucks are probably going to start out with Giannis - they've fared pretty well playing as a "team" when he has been out - working in their favor. One would think that the Bucks would play with the infamous CHIP ON... Read more ..read more

The latest Badger to enter the transfer portal was Chucky Hepburn. He was a decent defender, but in all honesty, he didn't show me he could slash to the bucket and create offense. I think Blackwell was ready to push him out of a job. Watch for Winter to step up and provide size, and power forward muscle. He showed signs last year. He showed he can't be intimidated. He made strides. McGee will be a slasher. Klesmit can put the ball in the bucket when he finds open spots, and don't sell... Read more ..read more

So I had plans to do a point game draft thing but as I found out, Amish has that covered. So instead, I thought it would be fun to post how we would draft at this point, and then take a vote of who's draft we like the best. In other words, if you were Gute, how would you draft for us. So here are my rules: 1) Any draft picks must be within reason of the consensus board. A player can call no more than 20% of their value before our pick (i.e. at pick 41, you can't expect a player to be there... Read more ..read more
