I like Lundt as a hidden gem that the Packers need. He would be a great fit especially if he can learn the other side and become a swing tackle.

There are 4 DTs that have a first round grade that would fit the Packers defense very well. I see the Packers taking one of them. Of the four I like Grant the most. I would be ok with the Packers trading up to get Grant.

Two Thumbs up on the CHTV Draft Guide from me Al. I get it every year and really enjoy it. I especially like when the players are ranked they breakdown the player and then tell you his fit with the Packers and why...Great stuff!!

OMG...I remember the Rich Campbell pick. I was hoping for Lott and when the Campbell pick was made I was like WHY? Picks like Campbell are EXACTLY the reason the 70's and 80's Packer teams were so horrible. Hell, that 1983 offense with Lofton, JJ Jefferson, and Paul Coffman was pretty damn impressive. But just like many of the seasons with Aaron Rodgers, the Packers defense was pretty bad.

Al, I'm not smart enough to think I could improve your guide in any way. You guys did a lot of work and a wonderful job on it.

I'd have to cheat on the hall of fame question, so I'll just look forward to seeing your answer. I know I'm wrong because I don't think he was a #1 but on question #2 I'm going with B. John Brockington.

Love love love the Draft Guide! One practical feature I really appreciate is the way you can be on page 58 and then link instantly back to the table of contents. Scrolling would be a huge pain in the posterior!

Horton is certainly an option as a deep threat, but I think the salient point he illustrates is that there are a number of size/speed X options in this draft. The best at that narrow role are not in the first couple of rounds though and mostly don’t promise much more than that longer term.

Then again, Watson hasn’t done a lot more than that except as a blocker, so I’m fine with any one of them that can get deep, stretch and catch and has shown a willingness to block. If Gute wants a Watson replacement there are players there that can contribute now.

There is opportunity to really improve our DL, get this player, a good Z type prospect and a CB in the first half of the draft that can make us a better team this year and in future. This is a draft that seems tailor made for our needs IF Gute sees them clearly.

Replace Slaton, add youth and penetration inside on the DL and add speed/agility outside while adding a deep threat X and depth and the future potential at Z. I’ve been a Gute defender, but this draft appears to be one that is poised to show how acute he is.

The player types are there, credibly and in various permutations. No excuses. This could be a defining draft for Gute’s career with the Packers as much as the season will be for LaFleur to show he can really mold a truly good O from the pieces.

This draft marks the start of a season of home truths in my view. This draft should make us better now and in future and there really aren’t a lot of excuses left for the O if it (and other recruitment) is half way decent. The needs are fairly clear and the opportunities to solve them seem abundant.

The draft guide is excellent, and I appreciate the time and thought that went into it. The one big head scratcher for me was Nic Scourton at #1 in the rankings of edge players, with Shemar Stewart at #2 and Abdul Carter at #3. I don't mind rogue opinions, but this one didn't make any sense, especially because the writer said the Packers don't have a chance at Carter because he will be taken long before the Packers pick. Maybe he was thinking of best fit for the Packers, but that does not seem to be how the other positions were ranked.

A radio sports director friend of mine was in the locker room broadcasting live the day Bart Starr took Rich Campbell. To say the press corps was stunned is an understatement. My friend had talked to a couple of scouts who had deep misgivings about Campbell. They both said his arm was inadequate at the NFL level.
Bart wanted him and got him.

This is why the decisions made on draft day, especially first round picks, have a long term impact on any team. My theory is lessen the potential blow by trading back and getting more above average players rather than trying to(using a baseball metaphor) hit a home run with a first round superstar.

Kudos to all for the draft guide. It's visually appealing, user friendly, and well written. I thought Ken's piece really set the tone with perspective of what it was like in the olden days. A nice pre-RAS glimpse into how one man's football player was another man's bust, and the zany antics behind the scenes at 1265.

It's fun to see what the guide has to say about players I read about on other sites. I'll refer to it throughout the season, too. Well done!

Greatly, enjoyed the personal articles this year. No improvement needed as the guide covers every facet of the draft. I still think we need a first round CB, unless a highly rated DT or WR falls to us.

I enjoy the CHTV Draft Guide - mainly for its work in identifying Packers types. But also for its opinion pieces - which can be stimulative. Case in point - Chase Lundt - who has been referred to as a "sleeper." Perhaps so. However, I see a too tall, under-powered, short-armed OT - with athletic limitations - who will be 25 yrs. old by training camp. Still he may be an interesting developmental project - like Esa Pole - who is my "sleeper."

Horton is very underrated.
Had a knee injury. Very fast.
Good choice.

Unlike Ken Lass I was all cued up to welcome Hugh Green as the newest Packer. I was such a High Green fan I used paper route money to buy a Pitt windbreaker. I would have adapted quickly to Lott though, and either of them could have been enough to push the Packers over that 8-8 hump. Between this one and the Joe Montana incident it's not shocking the club was a joke back then.

Appreciate the content and the follow-up to the Guide and eagerly await next week's Mock Draft. Thank you!
