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.

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).
I like the Morgan pick. Should be an immediate starter at RG and gives the team some insurance in case Walker doesn't work out. Along with signing Dillard our line suddenly looks to have alot of versatility to it.
Lloyd was a pick for the future, just like Dillon was when we took him. Probably a game day inactive most of the year unless he can play teams.
The real highlight is what we did at ILB and safety. They have created a ton of competition at those spots.

I think that Donovan Jennings, UDFA has a great chance to make the team. OSD is right in my book, he is like "the one" we have that looks legit. He's a guard to me, he has a nice base to him and he really uses his hands well. 6'5'' 330 pounds. 8.93 RAS.
PFF scores from 2023.... Pass Block: 82. Run Bock: 64.8. And that is a pretty typical split for GB offensive linemen.
Outside of him, GB signed that long snapper from UW. Bowden. I could easily see him winning that battle and making the roster.

Saw an interview today with Mike Tomlin. They picked Payton Wilson later in Rd 3 and Tomlin said their Dr's were very comfortable with Wilson medicals. Will see. Also noticed Cedric Gray was picked early in the 4th rd. Another LB who I thought might end up with the Packers. Oh well in Gute we trust!!! Hoping at the minimum,Hopper can be a core ST guy for his rookie year.
Lloyd should be replacing Dillon this year with that draft status. Again, I didn't like taking a RB in the third round this year. I feel like RB's who were very similar were going to go in rounds 4 and 5 making them a better value in this weak RB class. And if you want one for the future, next year's draft class looks better already than this year's class.
That being said, I hope he does something for us and proves me wrong.
But, it looks to me like the third round curse still lives in GB. It went on a vacation last year, but it was clearly present this year.
