On a bright note, we solidified our OL. I think this will pay dividends on Offensive scoring. I also think defense will be improved with Safeties and Cooper at LB. 
If we improve on both, we will be tough for the Bears.

Certainly agree with the Stokes decision, but my hope is he stays healthy and builds on the promising rookie year. Would be great if he played well enough for the Packers to consider a 2nd contract. Like most teams the Packers have 3-CB's on the field for a lot snaps. Right now 2 of the guys we are counting on (Jaire/Stokes) have both missed quite a few games the last 2 years. One of the reasons many thought a CB would be taken early. As the Unofficial leader of the Cooper DeJean fan club   on LL ,I really thought we had him at #41 but then the Eagles traded up. Oh well who knows where Gute really had DeJean on his board and I am still very happy with the Cooper/Bullard picks.  

I certainly expect the Safety position to now be a strength of this team and I know Gute/Sullivan both mentioned they expect guys like Bullard/ Williams to be versatile enough to even take some snaps in the slot. Would be great if either or both could help in that role.

Think Gute did fine with the draft, sure him and the staff know what's best for the Packers then the Lake-Link arm chair quarterback

Right. I didn’t quite understand at 1st that would be the Salary Cap Hit if they picked it up. He only played in 3 games last year and don’t know how many missed year before? 
Next man up. He will have to compete for job.

He certainly isn't a $12.5m a season player right now.

WAS HOPING GB COULD ACTUALLY DRFT/SIGN AN OL THAT COULD "MOVEPEOPLE SO THEY COULD MAKE A 3RD AND 1 ON OCCASSION. OH WELL, MAYBE NEXT YEAR--OSD

Preach on, brotha!  I'm with you, 100%.  We typically draft guys that are quicker and who pass block better.  And it shows on short yardage downs.
I didn't like the Lloyd selection at RB, but I do like how he runs in traffic.  Hopefully he will get those carries and actually convert.

Hopefully the OL aligns properly for the “Love Shove”…Runyan got flagged several times last season.

The Packers were third in the NFL on third down conversion percentage last year at 48%. That was up from 39.5% in 2022.

So I’m not sure what you are yelling about.

Lacy couldn't push himself away from the buffet table.

I agree the UW long snapper is very likely to make the team.

Not sure I remember a guy who I had higher hopes for after his rookie season and then just digressed like Dillon (of course Savage fits that description).

Eddie Lacy?  I feel like Eddie and Dillon had similar trajectories.  Just kept getting slower and "trippier" every year.

I know that media folks and even Gute says that Morgan has guard potential.  Media reports on "short arms".  Like Bulaga...LOL.
Personally?  I don't see it.  Guard for Morgan.  Especially right guard, the power guard.
I see a LT.  Plain and simple.  The feet, the hands, the bend, it's all there.  If he can kick to a guard spot, I see LG.
I know GB likes to find a way to play their "best 5 OL".  Either way, we've got some nice competition there.

Will have to wait and see how Lloyd picks up the offense and if he can be counted on in pass protection. I do expect him to get snaps from Dillon at some point in the season. Will see how he looks in preseason. Not sure I remember a guy who I had higher hopes for after his rookie season and then just digressed like Dillon (of course Savage fits that description).
