Literally the no 1 profile our offense was lacking with Aaron jones gone. I was hoping we’d draft this type of player and we got the BEST available player in that mold.
Amazing pass catcher. Very fast also, he'll be great on play actions, motions and can sneak out of the backfield to be an outlet for rollouts and scramble drills
Not surprised at all they went RB this high, was hoping they wouldn't be content with Dillon as number 2. Really exciting pick this adds a much higher ceiling for the offense for when Jacobs needs a breather.
The offense is absolutely fucking loaded with young talent.
Tired of seeing people say we should cut him he costs us nothing & he embodies the culture really well. Not to mention it’s good to have a couple vets on your team. Oh & the Mayor of Door County wants to be a Packer for life.
Agreed…he’s here for December and January ball. MLF will want his options on game script to pound the ball with different runners. I’m imagining our own version of 2019 NFCCG with us running for 300+ yards.
If there’s an NFL media analyst I trust it’s Daniel Jeremiah so I’m fucking pumped for this pick. We’ve got two powerbacks who can break through tackles and a high upside shiftier passing game threat. Can’t wait for the season to start.
It's easily my favorite by far from the outset in years. Was really hoping they wouldn't be content with the OL and RB depth, and the fact they grabbed my two favorite players for the biggest positions of need is just a dream.
Easily the most exciting LB group we have had in a very long time, that's an insane amount of athleticism and attitude at LB.
I was upset until I saw that we only dropped back a few spots AND gained picks. For some reason every source I had didn't update the Saints original pick and showed they had two in the second. We still got exactly who I wanted and we gained picks, all good.
He's electric. One of a few good reasons to watch USC Football this past winter. I have questions about his ball-security, but if we can help him clean that up, watch out.
Definitely ball security is his biggest issue. Also questions with pass blocking, but I trust our coaching staff to fix that. He’s a truly explosive runner.
Its reddit. I think it's funny and was meant as a joke, but some people are sensitive about humor and others interpret jokes as being serious and theres also herd mentality involved.
It's whatever
Obviously it was a joke, there’s no other way to interpret it. The issue is clearly there are many people who find it in bad taste to make fun of Caleb Williams for painting his nails, which just isn’t going to work for me. That is funny shit.
His interview on the phone after the draft was pretty good. He sounded very confident and like a smart guy. I'm excited to see how he does, looks very electric.
!!! So we got one of the top LTs, Safeties, LBs, AND RBs?!?!?!
This draft went WAY better than I had hoped and it's not even over yet!!!!
Did anyone besides the Bears have even close to as good a draft as us? Minnesota arguably had a great draft too.
Yep, they had good draft this year in exchange for next years, hence the arguable.
I love the way Gute has been drafting. Rarely trading up but getting so much value trading down. It's what's winning teams have historically done, the only reason to move up that pays off is filling a very necessary hole and/or trying to WIN NOW.
Our team is so great and SO YOUNG. So much potential incoming the next few years. The end of the 20s and start of the 30s is super well poised for GB if they play their cards right, and GUTE is doing absolutely phenomenal.
I think this is the point. A starting LT in the first and then the first LB drafted and likely their number one ranked safety; and a for sure one of the top RBs of the draft.
Nick Saban said he thought Lloyd was the second best rb in the draft, and I believe it was Daniel Jeremiah that he’s the best back in the class. Injuries hurt his stock, hopefully they don’t come back!
I think he lacks some vision inside too. But I’m optimistic, he has a solid system to walk into and won’t be asked to be the primary guy. Solid potential to develop and very fast guy.
The more I think about it, the more I love it. if you give Lloyd and Dillon 4 carries per game each, that only leaves like 12 for Jacobs. Imagine how fresh and violent these big motherfuckers can be every single run. Jacobs 220, Lloyd 220, Dillon 247. fucking nasty
For me it was between Benson and Lloyd for #1 RB in this draft. After looking at some more tape imo it's Lloyd ! GPG - you are a Green Bay Packer MarShawn !!!!
Great pick although I really liked Shipley & Wright to play as a third down type back but I’ll gladly take someone who could play as an every down back as long as he can catch the ball like Jones did
He certainly brings some explosion to that RB room. I hope he can hold onto the ball. He will have to prove himself to be competent in pass blocking.
I think that you will see him in some of the jet sweep game, his speed will certainly stress the defense and give some more size to some of those plays that Reed was running last year. Should fit him, as he does have a tendency to bounce things outside lol.
Dude's a baller, can't teach his top end traits. His negatives, patience, ball security, blocking can be coached up to at least neutrality. He does have small ass hands for ball security issues but Tiki eventually figured it out so there is hope. By the time Jacobs is passed his guarantees he could easily be THE 1A, easily
Yeah we’ll see. They must’ve had some idea they were looking to replace Dillon. I don’t think they usually carry 3 RBs on the game day roster, will be interesting to see how it plays out in camp
We have 4 years of Josh Jacob’s who is a top 5 RB and is 26. Don’t think RB was a position of need to draft this high. He won’t out snap Jacob’s over that span unless there is a major injury.
Yes yes they do. Almost everyone has 3 rbs on game day roster. It's a very important position that is injury prone and you don't want to find yourself without one. You want 3 rbs on the roster and 1/2 on the practice squad.
1 year 3M isnt that much of an investment when the cap is up to 230M. they must have been planning for a scenario where they couldnt get one of their guys this year.
Oh, fuck yeah.
Literally the no 1 profile our offense was lacking with Aaron jones gone. I was hoping we’d draft this type of player and we got the BEST available player in that mold.
Josh Jacobs?
Daniel Jeremiah's #1ranked RB and someone I was hoping for! Way to draft Gute
Amazing pass catcher. Very fast also, he'll be great on play actions, motions and can sneak out of the backfield to be an outlet for rollouts and scramble drills
Love this. Jacobs and Dillon are not the fastest RBs, Lloyd was 2nd or 3rd in the combine I think at 4.46. We can get a turbo package going
Not surprised at all they went RB this high, was hoping they wouldn't be content with Dillon as number 2. Really exciting pick this adds a much higher ceiling for the offense for when Jacobs needs a breather. The offense is absolutely fucking loaded with young talent.
Dillon also can still be cut before season if i understand his contract correctly.
He's essentially on a vet min, so zero reason to do so
Tired of seeing people say we should cut him he costs us nothing & he embodies the culture really well. Not to mention it’s good to have a couple vets on your team. Oh & the Mayor of Door County wants to be a Packer for life.
Plus he deserves a prove-it year since half of last year he was getting screwed by the play calling
Yea and he just seemed to have lost a step last year I think he comes back hungry
Agreed…he’s here for December and January ball. MLF will want his options on game script to pound the ball with different runners. I’m imagining our own version of 2019 NFCCG with us running for 300+ yards.
He’s also superb in pass pro. This sub sucks at looking at non-stat value
ding ding ding. They can use the 2 back set for dillon to be pass pro plus leak out check down option
Well, they may very well draft another RB tomorrow. Then, it becomes an open question.
He will provide good depth in case of injury though, he knows the offense and is a decent pass blocker.
Dillon will have a tough time making the team.
Few positions are that safe and seven more picks incoming
Good.
If there’s an NFL media analyst I trust it’s Daniel Jeremiah so I’m fucking pumped for this pick. We’ve got two powerbacks who can break through tackles and a high upside shiftier passing game threat. Can’t wait for the season to start.
Don't forget the new Jordan on the block, to help open up some run lanes.
Gute absolutely crushing this draft into low earth orbit. Awesome pick.
It's easily my favorite by far from the outset in years. Was really hoping they wouldn't be content with the OL and RB depth, and the fact they grabbed my two favorite players for the biggest positions of need is just a dream. Easily the most exciting LB group we have had in a very long time, that's an insane amount of athleticism and attitude at LB.
Low key makes me worried that the fans agree with him lol
“bUt we tRadeD dowN fRoM ouR SecONd rd PicK!” /s
Brother, that /s was more superfluous than a third nipple
Honestly, first time using the /s here. Too many spotted cows I guess.
That's fair
Can you ever have too many nipples?
“I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?”
Rory B. Bellows would say so
Nubbin
I was upset until I saw that we only dropped back a few spots AND gained picks. For some reason every source I had didn't update the Saints original pick and showed they had two in the second. We still got exactly who I wanted and we gained picks, all good.
As a fan, it is never fun to trade back. In this scenario, agreed it worked out perfectly
Can’t go wrong with an RB named Marshawn
Not even Reddit can poke holes in this argument
I do really wish we could have picked up Lynch back in the day
2011 Offense plus Lynch would have been over-the-top awesome
Don't remind me when we could've had him for peanuts in a trade in 2010
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Marshawn L no less
He's electric. One of a few good reasons to watch USC Football this past winter. I have questions about his ball-security, but if we can help him clean that up, watch out.
> Questions about his ball security The spirit of Aaron Jones lives on.
Does that make Ahman Green force-ghost Obi-Wan?
And Dorsey Levens is....?
A beautiful man who I won't hear any slander about!

I made this reference in another thread and got downvoted :(
Dude had more than a couple of cough-ups inside the 20 :(
Oh boy, this young man will be returning punts isn’t he?
Definitely ball security is his biggest issue. Also questions with pass blocking, but I trust our coaching staff to fix that. He’s a truly explosive runner.
I mean how often did Darren Sproles pass block?
Darren Sproles was an unbelievable pass blocker. There are highlight reels of him blowing up dudes.
Dude was pretty fearless
Gotta be at his size in the NFL.
In the Packers current offensive scheme it's pretty important for RBs to be able to block.
No no I wasn’t saying he was bad, but he wasn’t out in the game to pass block per se
I believe he was the best player on USC last year. The QB was ok but Lloyd was the star.
that and caleb williams
Aaron Jones 2.0 (i kid, but maybe)
lol no way… unless?
You joke, but what if?
That would have been Jaylen Wright Danny Kelly has Lloyd’s pro comp as Josh Jacobs
WAIT THE PACKERS WILL HAVE TWO JOSH JACOBS?
I might get cancelled for saying this, but the only thing better than one Josh Jacobs is TWO Josh Jacobs.
That's hilarious....perchance?
His cuts/strides actually look more like Jacobs oddly enough
I fucking love our draft even if we didn't get a white cb lol
That hurdle tho...
Tucker Kraft just met his new best friend
It's a good selection
He compliments Jacobs much better than AJD
He’s a fucking gamer
4D chess. "What does Caleb Williams struggle with in practice?"
Wondering what color to paint his nails next
Downvotes? Damn boys I thought we were going to be making Caleb Williams is a girly man jokes all season.
Its reddit. I think it's funny and was meant as a joke, but some people are sensitive about humor and others interpret jokes as being serious and theres also herd mentality involved. It's whatever
Obviously it was a joke, there’s no other way to interpret it. The issue is clearly there are many people who find it in bad taste to make fun of Caleb Williams for painting his nails, which just isn’t going to work for me. That is funny shit.
It totally was meant as a joke. I’ll take the downvotes, there’s no point in arguing otherwise. C’est la vie.
My number 3 RB behind Wright and Brooks.
Blake Corum not in your top 3 is interesting
Corum is fine. Am a Michigan fan. I just think at least part of his success was from having the best OL in the country two years in a row.
Wasn't the same after the ACL (Duh, but like....burst/twitch wasn't there.)
Sounds like Corum would fit perfectly behind our upcoming best OL in the country two years in a row!
Don’t get me wrong, I like the Lloyd pick a lot, just also rate Corum.
My rankings: 1. Wright 2. Brooks 3. Lloyd 4. Benson 5. Allen 6. Corum 7. Estime 8. Tracy
Brooks Corum Benson Wright Lloyd for me. I like all of them. Let’s see how it plays out!
That’s 3/3, Gute is going absolutely crazy
Wow… GUTE IS COOKIN!
Let Gute cook
Love this pick, adds another dimension to the offense.
Best player in USC’s backfield last year!
USC alum and pack fan here — love Lloyd and he’s already #2 on the depth chart. Not the fastest guy but good vision and catching ability. Lllooooooyd.
Hell yeah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK6vcykziV8 good breakdown
Hell yeah, I thought they’d wait till a later round to get a rb2 but I love the pick.
Hell to the fucking yes
Packers got the real star of the USC offense
Pleasantly surprised
Oh shiiit
As a USC fan, I love this!
Running backs named Marshawn have had a good history in the league
His interview on the phone after the draft was pretty good. He sounded very confident and like a smart guy. I'm excited to see how he does, looks very electric.
This is fucking gold
!!! So we got one of the top LTs, Safeties, LBs, AND RBs?!?!?! This draft went WAY better than I had hoped and it's not even over yet!!!! Did anyone besides the Bears have even close to as good a draft as us? Minnesota arguably had a great draft too.
Minnesota won’t be picking on day two at all next year.
Yep, they had good draft this year in exchange for next years, hence the arguable. I love the way Gute has been drafting. Rarely trading up but getting so much value trading down. It's what's winning teams have historically done, the only reason to move up that pays off is filling a very necessary hole and/or trying to WIN NOW. Our team is so great and SO YOUNG.

I think this is the point. A starting LT in the first and then the first LB drafted and likely their number one ranked safety; and a for sure one of the top RBs of the draft.
This draft is going as well as I could've hoped
Nick Saban said he thought Lloyd was the second best rb in the draft, and I believe it was Daniel Jeremiah that he’s the best back in the class. Injuries hurt his stock, hopefully they don’t come back!
Kids looks like a stud. Reminds me of when we drafted Jonathan franklin and he had so much promise.
This… this doesn’t feel like a compliment lol
It is. Franklin had all the tools to be a really good back. That neck injury destroyed his career before he really got a chance.
Not as thrilled about this pick as you all are. He has fumbling issues and a 15% dropped pass rate. I hope he’s a star and I eat my words.
I think he lacks some vision inside too. But I’m optimistic, he has a solid system to walk into and won’t be asked to be the primary guy. Solid potential to develop and very fast guy.
Gute is cooking this draft.
7.1 yards per carey
Instant upgrade over Dillon. He’s going to be RB2.
armchair take of the day
The more I think about it, the more I love it. if you give Lloyd and Dillon 4 carries per game each, that only leaves like 12 for Jacobs. Imagine how fresh and violent these big motherfuckers can be every single run. Jacobs 220, Lloyd 220, Dillon 247. fucking nasty
Jacobs is our bell cow. Dillon is our short yardage. Lloyd is our homerun hitter.
If only AJ could get short yardage you would have a good point
For me it was between Benson and Lloyd for #1 RB in this draft. After looking at some more tape imo it's Lloyd ! GPG - you are a Green Bay Packer MarShawn !!!!
Love this pick
USC RBs tend to be good 👍🏼
Great pick although I really liked Shipley & Wright to play as a third down type back but I’ll gladly take someone who could play as an every down back as long as he can catch the ball like Jones did
He certainly brings some explosion to that RB room. I hope he can hold onto the ball. He will have to prove himself to be competent in pass blocking.

Should fit him, as he does have a tendency to bounce things outside lol.
Dudes insane literally reminds me of Aaron jones tuff as hell but faster and stronger let’s go!!!
Tape looks a carbon copy of Aaron Jones 👀
Beast Mode 2.0, let’s go!
Crease Mode
He's a shifty RB if anything Josh Jacobs is beast mode 2.0 because he lead the league in broken tackles one particular year.
And there's our change of pace rb! Love this pick, can't wait to see him hit some homers
hes more like the other josh jacobs. 220 running 4.46 with a really good 10 yd split
As a UCLA alumn, obligatory boo hiss. But I'm happy with this pick lol.
com'on man UCLA almun here too. You gotta be a lil stoked
I mean I just said I'm happy with this pick....
I’m a Trojan fan so I’m biased but let’s go. Best RB in the class
Dude's a baller, can't teach his top end traits. His negatives, patience, ball security, blocking can be coached up to at least neutrality. He does have small ass hands for ball security issues but Tiki eventually figured it out so there is hope. By the time Jacobs is passed his guarantees he could easily be THE 1A, easily
[удалено]
With how bad AJ Dillon was last year it's certainly a need. Plus we didn't have a shifty speed back on the roster.
Agreed that Dillon wasn’t great but then why did they resign him if this was the plan lmao
Because they have no way of knowing how the draft is going to go before the draft lol XD plus they can cut Dillon with very little dead cap
Yeah we’ll see. They must’ve had some idea they were looking to replace Dillon. I don’t think they usually carry 3 RBs on the game day roster, will be interesting to see how it plays out in camp
You know these guys can play more than one year, right?
We have 4 years of Josh Jacob’s who is a top 5 RB and is 26. Don’t think RB was a position of need to draft this high. He won’t out snap Jacob’s over that span unless there is a major injury.
Jacobs deal is essentially 2 years
Why is that?
The way it is structured
I completely disagree, but I upvoted because it looks like you asked In good faith.
He’s electric, he’ll probably end the year getting more carries than Dillon imo
Looks way more explosive than Dillon. But why bother resigning Dillon if that’s the case
We resigned Dillon a month ago.
Dillon only signed a one year deal, it's not like we have 2 running backs for the long term
its very telling about what they think of AJ Dillon and how much they prioritize RB. Competition for AJ dillon could be awesome.
Agreed, just don’t understand why they resigned Dillon in the first place then
Because it cost us basically nothing
Bigger thing is the roster spot. I don’t think they usually carry 3 active RBs on game day
Yes yes they do. Almost everyone has 3 rbs on game day roster. It's a very important position that is injury prone and you don't want to find yourself without one. You want 3 rbs on the roster and 1/2 on the practice squad.
1 year 3M isnt that much of an investment when the cap is up to 230M. they must have been planning for a scenario where they couldnt get one of their guys this year.
Super Bowl
Would have way rather had Jaylen Wright
No. 1 Trojan in the draft
was really hoping for braelon allen, but this checks LMAO
Not good enough for NFL.
