2019 draft

Huh? Was not expecting this at all

Love the Savage pick but not Gary. He tested off the charts however didn’t do a ton in college plus has effort issues. Maybe coaches can impress upon him the importance of playing every snap like your hair is on hair.

 

[packfancjh]

I agree on the Savage pick I just wasn't expecting it. The Gary pick had me stumped. Much better talent on the board imo

 

[RP-29]

You never really know with players until they get on the field with the big dogs. I reserve judgment until I see them in action.

I will say, though, that I wholeheartedly approve of the positions they drafted... OLB/DE & S are positions that needed attention.

 

[Trudem]

Gary has the talent. However he’s lazy and seems to be lacking the mental element. He can’t just go at the tackle without a plan and expect to make an impact

Hopefully all these negative opinions swirling around the internet about him will be harnessed into motivation to prove his doubters wrong.

That would be ideal but........heard from a Michigan fan he watched Gary throughout college and said he’s lazy and takes plays off. Hard to just turn that off and do something completely opposite. GB may have gotten this pick wrong but like everyone else I will hold judgement until he gets on the field but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

Seems like they could have picked Savage at 12 with Gary still being available at 30, which would have saved the 4th round picks. At least that's what I'm guessing.

 

[Trudem]

No way Gary was available at 30. GMs thought very highly of him because of potential. His issue is effort. He is always the last guy firing off the ball. Hopefully being in the DL room with effort guys like Daniels, Clark and company he will up his effort level.

I have ready many reports on Gary that he was double or triple teamed in college which allowed others on the defense to make the big plays. Here he was rated the #4 player in all the draft

Mike Pettine, Packers defensive coordinator: GM Brian Gutekunst just can't stop building up the Green Bay defense. He piled up picks for Pettine during last year's draft, spent huge money to sign three starters in free agency, including two high-priced pass rushers (Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith), and then drafted another edge defender in Michigan's Rashan Gary with the No. 12 overall pick. (Just don't tell NFL.com's Gil Brandt it was a smart pick.)

With a second first-round pick in his pocket, surely Gutekunst would get some help for Aaron Rodgers, right? Nope -- he traded up with the Seahawks to snag Maryland safety Darnell Savage 21st overall. That's the fifth defensive back taken in the first two rounds over the last three years by the Packers. Perhaps the best weapon Rodgers can have will be only needing to score 20 points to win games.

Gary is more of a DE rather than an Edge Rusher. He was double and triple teamed at Michigan and possesses great quickness at 6-5 285. He would be better used as a DE in the 3-4.

 

[Mack]

44th pick is coming up shortly. Do they switch gears and go offense? I think so......

 

[GNG]

Elgton Jenkins is a great pick at 44.

One of the top local sports radio guys Bill Michaels interviewing the D coordinator from Michigan about Gary it is about an 8 minute listen

"Great finisher, tremendous run defender"

I’m psychic. Draft done. Mostly defense once again. Hopefully it translates to a better unit than what has been on the field for the past 7-8 years.

NFL.com has the Packers ranked 16th for this years draft. Funny how they can even give any team a ranking without the draft picks taking a snap on the field. We won’t know what GB has until game 1 of the regular season.

Reminds me of how Mel Kiper rated the Lion's drafts so well right before they went 0-16.

The so called experts have winners and losers. You can't rate a draft until at least a couple years because some of these gems turn out to be busts.

 

[Trudem]

I like the draft however it completely hinges on getting production out of Gary. I LOVE Savage

It’s really a crap shoot. For whatever reason(I think it’s mostly psychological)college athletes can’t make that transition to the pros.
