The Green Bay Packers made a splash move to go get “their guy” in Christian Watson with the 34th overall pick.  They traded both picks 53 and 59 to the Minnesota Vikings to move up.  Brian Gutekunst stated after the draft:  “He’s a big, fast, physical receiver. We think his best football is ahead of him.”  With this being said, the Green Bay Packers could still target wide receivers on day three.  Here are three that should be on their radar: WR Khalil Shakir, Boise State Khalil Shakir feels like a coach’s dream: combining competitive nature, exciting versatility and elite…

With the 92nd pick the Green Bay Packers select OT Sean Rhyan, UCLA.  Some linemen aren’t physically ready for the NFL when they’re drafted. That won’t be the case for Rhyan. Rhyan is a 6’4 5/8″, 321-pound behemoth. He has a large, burly frame, and stores massive amounts of power in his lower body. His torso is incredibly dense, and that, in conjunction with solid flexibility, allows him to absorb opposing power with ease. In addition to his size, Rhyan is an exceptional athlete. The UCLA OT possesses an observable explosive burst heading into contact, and he gets to the…

The Green Bay Packers traded up to #34 to draft WR Christian Watson from North Dakota State University.  The Packers finally drafted a weapon for Aaron Rodgers.  Christian Watson’s reaction to being drafted was priceless: From Green n yellow to Green n yellow @packers @ChristianW2017 pic.twitter.com/zGneEUhi7f — Tre Watson Sr. (@MDQue_33) April 29, 2022 Ryan Wood  (@ByRyanWood on Twitter) stated: Christian Watson says he hasn’t spoken with Aaron Rodgers yet, but he knows what he’ll tell the Packers QB: “I’ll say I’m ready to work, I’m ready to learn, and I’m ready to get after it. I know he’s going…

Christian Watson is an athletic MONSTER.  The Green Bay Packers love the Relative Athletic Score (RAS) when it comes to drafting players.  Rashan Gary is a perfect example.  He didn’t produce right away, but his physical attributes is what made Green Bay  draft him so high.  Christian Watson is the same way: In case you didn’t know, a 9.98 is .02 away from a perfect RAS. Christian Watson’s Highlights: Christian Watson’s tape is better than any WR in this draft class🔥 pic.twitter.com/dJvhAhWBNn — IKE Packers Podcast (@IKE_Packers) April 29, 2022 The Packers trade up to take WR Christian Watson with…

The run on wide receivers during the first round of the NFL Draft was insane.  A quick synopsis: WR Drake London (drafted ATL), WR Garrett Wilson (drafted NYJ), WR Chris Olave (drafted NO), WR Jameson Williams (drafted DET), WR Marquise Brown (traded AZ),  WR Jahan Dotson (drafted WAS), WR AJ Brown (traded PHI), WR Treylon Burks (drafted TEN).  Because of this Green Bay took two players to bolster an already great defense.  LB Quay Walker and DT Devonte Wyatt, both from Georgia. Seeing two trades in round one, both unexpected, leaves room for trades in round number two.  Deebo Samuel…

It was pretty telling last night when no quarterbacks were drafted until the 20th overall pick.  The quarterback that was drafted 20th overall was Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett, drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Is it possible that there was some bias in that pick?  Maybe… Either way, only seeing one QB go in the first round tells you that the quarterback value is not very high in this year‘s draft class.  Jordan love may be the best quarterback “available“ in the second round, if Green Bay chooses.  Heck, Jordan Love may have been the best quarterback available in the first…

First Darnell Savage, and now Rashan Gary. The Green Bay Packers are locking both players down for a fifth year, through the 2023 season. Rashan Gary has quickly turned into one of the best past rushers in the league. This move seemed inevitable as Green Bay would never let Gary walk. https://twitter.com/rashangarysport/status/1520083093851459594?s=21&t=7mjahJS6-HLvkbeSDzkGZQ With the recent draft picks of Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt, Green Bay‘s defense is going to be ridiculous for years to come. Most notably their front seven is going to be dominant. It’s easy to see that Brian Gutekunst hit on both first round draft picks in…

Early in the 2022 NFL off-season, the Packers made a shocking move by trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. Reports have come out that Aaron Rodgers knew the likelihood of this even before signing his extension.  With that being said, Rodgers still had hope that Adams would choose to stay in Green Bay: https://twitter.com/zachkruse2/status/1519922433683337221?s=21&t=7mjahJS6-HLvkbeSDzkGZQ To some, it feels like Adams had his mind made up since last summer.  That didn’t stop Green Bay from pulling out all the stops in trying to keep the all-pro wide receiver. With the amount of wide receivers that were taken early in…

The Green Bay Packers have decided to pick up Darnell Savage’s fifth year option.  The Packers keep the Safety in Green Bay through the 2023 season: https://twitter.com/RobDemovsky/status/1520077348971986952?s=20&t=hL5eSRjFOcl0rWxPZVUM-g Green Bay solidified the front of their defense by drafting LB Quay Walker and DT Devonte Wyatt last night.  The remaining “hole” is safety depth.  The Green Bay Packers have one of the better safety duos in the NFL with Amos and Savage, however finding someone to play that third safety stop will be tricky.  It became obvious last year that Joe Barry loves to run with three safeties on the field. After…

The amount of wide receivers that moved in the first round was nothing short of intense.  Here is a synopsis:  WR Drake London (drafted ATL), WR Garrett Wilson (drafted NYJ), WR Chris Olave (drafted NO), WR Jameson Williams (drafted DET), WR Marquise Brown (traded AZ),  WR Jahan Dotson (drafted WAS), WR AJ Brown (traded PHI), WR Treylon Burks (drafted TEN).  Due to the amount of trades and wide receivers selected early on, the Packers bolstered their defense.  LB Quay Walker and DT Devonte Wyatt from Georgia may very well establish ZERO holes on the Green Bay Packers’ defense. The Packers…
