This is my mock draft via the PFF simulator (PFF didn't love it). Flame away. I am more curious about what people think on trying to build a same age oline more than dinging or braising the individual players. Are you proposing we resign Saffold as a UFA in a few weeks to trade him? Did you think this through? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) No more trading up please…Beane can’t be trusted… If anything, I hope we trade down… Edited February 12, 2023 by JaCrispy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Scaffold for a 3rd?? 😂 Conditional pick if anything. Why? Because dude fell off a cliff this year. Why again? Because Buffalo would end up cutting him before finding a trade partner and teams know that. Had high hopes first few games. Dude seemed to play well and then slid downhill…fast. Oh. And not trading Mitch. Don’t believe Josh would let that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I think we should probably start with the fact that Saffold is a FA. So the entire premise is we sign and package him for a 2nd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. We need to trade up again and grab the nearest defensive back. They keep winning us Super Bowls; it is a system that works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a starter (Myers) on a rookie contract, and have a solid track record of developing centers (JC Tretter, Corey Linsey). No way they’d trade for an expensive vet with a long concussion history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Today's online rebuild list 2 round draft. I am willing to use three first round picks 2023,2024 and 2025 on online to protect my QB who is worth more than all those picks combined. My view is that if it was actually possible to trade these future first rounders, we could have the best online in the league beginning as soon as this season, and in any case by next season. Kick Skoronski inside on the left, with Dawkins at tackle, Torrence at RG, and Jones at right Tackle. None of these guys are projects. I would expect Josh to have all day to pass, and Cook to have massive holes to run through. Diggs Hyatt, Shakir should fill WR1, 2,3 just fine, and Knox will become more of a weapon, because he won't have to block as much as he does not. This offense would become unstoppable.

Yeah PFF doesn't like Jalin Hyatt, so you never get a good grade on that simulator for taking him. But once he runs a 4.28 in one month, he won't be rated 61 best overall anymore.

Why would Packers trade for expensive, old, and concussion prone Morse so we can draft a Center instead of just drafting the center themselves? I don’t mind people proposing trade ideas, but drives me nuts when people post trades that make absolutely no sense to the team they propose we trade with. At least make an attempt at a realistic draft and trade scenario rather than something that has no basis in reality. Otherwise what’s the difference of this or proposing a trade where we dump contracts to a team and get some elite stud back that’s untouchable? Both equally silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that mock simulations are games. And the user does not control the game. PFF sets the rules not me. Also you may not have noticed the title of the thread ".........never going to happen draft."

Yeah and that's something to wrestle with. Cover 1 has a good video out taking the Diggs comment about the offense changing after Week 9, where they compared his over the middle targets and Allen's stats, before and after that week, and how the Bills/Allen avoided throwing over the middle. It really highlights how bad McKenzie was in the slot. So it's a projection on how Hyatt will handle press man, and living on the outside in the NFL, so is the better answer to get someone to take firm ownership of the slot?

This would not be a popular opinion. But I think Diggs would be the greatest slot receiver of all time. Wes Welker and Julian Edelman on steroids.
