Good list.
While the Vikes could certainly use a guard, I don't see one taken in the first round. I think the Vikings will go DE or DT.

 

[isubeatle]

Packers will never take a WR in the first unless it’s the #1 WR. They will go for a LB or rusher to replace Smith who I don’t think will be back next year.

 

[thatguy]

Good draft. Think Fields goes before Wilson.

Although where Watson ends up will effect all this.

Pierce will be in the lineup at DT, hopefully. A DE is a definite need. I think Vera-Tucker is gonna be a badass and hope the Vikes take him if he is available.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Will Bailey get drafted? I noticed he wasn't in the Senior bowl yesterday.

 

[BCClone]

Packers need to go Oline or corner with their first two picks. Unless a stud Dline drops hard.

Oline? We had one of the better performing lines in the league this year. No way they draft a lineman in the first 2 rounds. Really need someone to replace King at CB though.

I'll be curious how high Wilson goes. Some of the talking heads are saying scouts have pegged Wilson as the next Johnny Manzel. Yikes. Should be interesting.

Limited depth and when DB went down a Rodgers was running for his life too many times. Need to get a RT that can settle in, preferably a LT that can play RT Incase DB can’t some back. That and corner are biggest needs then probably another back (Jones probably gone) and a linebacker.

Depth at oline is never a bad idea obviously but after DB went out, the bucs where the only team able to get pressure. I think LB is the biggest need. But maybe it won’t be AS big of a need with a new DC.

Did the DC get let go, I hope so. There were some very poor decisions made this year.

Yeah Pettine’s contract wasn’t renewed thank god.

Running cover 1 right before halftime against TB was idiotic.

 

[demoncore1031]

Will Bailey get drafted? I noticed he wasn't in the Senior bowl yesterday.

I think he is probably a 5th or 6th round pick because he is not only a solid pass rusher, but he is great against the run as well.

The Packers do need an offensive tackle. Rick Wagner is not bad, but that is a position they could definitely upgrade. I think they should take a speedy slot WR like Rondale Moore, to give Rodgers another weapon. CB is another need so they could go in that direction as well.

I don't think there is any way that DeVonta Smith falls to 18, that just seems ludicrous to me.

 

[bozclone]

Colts at 21 need: QB, OT, DE, or CB

They wont get a starting QB at 21, I could see them trading the pick for a veteran QB.

 

[demoncore1031]

I don't think there is any way that DeVonta Smith falls to 18, that just seems ludicrous to me.

I had him going #3 to Miami, but if Sewell is available at that spot they MUST take him. He is the best o-line prospect to enter the draft in years, and there is plenty of great WRs that they could take one later. If the Giants take a WR, I think Ja'Marr Chase would be a better fit since they have smaller WRs already and Chase has pretty good size. Waddle to New England just makes sense. Although I have Smith rated as the #1 WR, I could see him being taken 3rd of the bunch.
