I can't imagine being a sports fan where you aren't allowed to question anyone that is supposedly an expert. That would be boring as all get out. And it's just discussion. I was super pissed when they traded down with T.J. Watt on the board to take Kevin King. How did I possibly know from my couch what ​the draft room full of experts didn't?
I'm guessing the oil change guy loves Bar Down when he comes in. "Look, I'm the expert here, and I'm telling you you need pads, rotors, new calipers, new tires, etc. etc. Don't question me, I do this for a living."

Why does everybody seem to think that when you say you're surprised and/or disappointed by the pick you're challenging the Packers decision or saying they F'd up?
It's simply a discussion!!!!!! I would NEVER claim to know more than them and I think that goes for anybody on this board........ it's just discussion, exactly what this "General Discussion" board was intended for.

It seems the GB OL is always one of the best in the league, so we must do something right in evaluating these guys.
I think that's were the surprise and some disappointment come in, they have been very successful at getting guys in mid-rounds that turn out to have solid careers along the OL. I agree that depth was important there and the first round was dominated by offensive players so they wanted to grab while the getting was good.
I'd like to see him take the 58 and 91 and come up into a better spot in the second the have two picks at the top of the round. NE may be willing to sell and you could really move up. DB and LB and then your solid.

The angst from guys that think they know more than a professional NFL talent evaluator is always amusing. I'll go with the guy who has an entire NFL scouting dept at his disposal, not the guy sitting on his couch worshipping his copy of self appointed expert Mel Kipers draft bible. Doesn't everyone know by now that a draft can't be judged until a couple years post mortem?
MORGAN GUY SEEMS LIKE A SOLID LT "WHEN HEALTHY",,,,,
After sleeping on it, I feel a little better. Morgan's combine scores had him the #1 offensive lineman. Definitely something to work with there. It seems the GB OL is always one of the best in the league, so we must do something right in evaluating these guys. I was just looking for something a little more flashy. If the Packers can have a top half defense, they should be able to compete for SB's. If they can have a top 10 defense, they can win SB's.
Don’t know why, but I’ve come to realize that the only part of Packer football I still enjoy is reading the comments from threads like this one. I don’t watch the games anymore . I occasionally listen if the radio happens to be tuned to the right channel. Just not enjoyable. Carry on. Thanks for the free entertainment.
Personally, I hope they pick Billy Bob Rubick from Texas before the draft is over.

Packer Fans are never happy with any draft picks until they are. They didn't like it when Rodgers or Love were picked and that has seemed to work out so far. Its a solid pick that fills a need. It may seem vanilla but I'm good with it. I trust this franchise and their research on players. GO PACK!
THIS MAKES SENSE WITH THE RECENT CHATTER OF TOM MOVING TO CENTER NRXT YEAR RATHER THAN RESIGNING MYERS. AT WHAT POINT DO THE PACKERS TRY TO WIN NOW INSTEAD OF ALWAYS BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE. KIND OF UNDERSTAND RODGER'S FRUSTRATIONS A LITTLE BETTER NOW. WELL, MAYBE NUBIN OR MELTON AT 41 WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ,,,,,MAYBE
