From 2014-2018, 70% of Packers first 2 picks each year were CB or S

Shotgun Dave · Jan 17, 2020

From 2014 through 2018, of the Packers first 2 picks each year, a whopping 70% were either Cornerback or Safety! Only in 1 year did they not take either a CB or S with one of their first 2 picks!

That's mind-blowing.

Alright.

Some pertinent info would be exactly WHO those players were. So...

2014 Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Rd 1 (S)
2015 Damarious Randall, Rd 1 (CB), Quentin Rollins, Rd 2 (CB)
2016 none
2017 Kevin King, Rd 2 (CB), Josh Jones, Rd 2 (S)
2018 Jaire Alexander, Rd 1 (CB), Josh Jackson, Rd 2 (S)

Never can have enough. Our FO has loved them some DB’s too.

Wasn't Josh Jones on our roster in 2019?

McCarthy had no say over personnel

I'm beginning to get the feeling that we'll be addressing the secondary in either the 1st in 2nd round depending on who's available for us at #17.

Something tells me it'll be either Kinlaw, Delpit or McKinney if they're there.

My hope is that there will be an unexpected run on QBs early that'll give us a few more options at 17 than we thought.

This is one of those drafts where you can see a QB thats not really thought of as a 1st right climbing into the first half of the 1st round. 3 should definitely go before our pick. I think Fromm probably will too. If Fromm goes top 12, I could see 1 more guy getting in before our pick

Correct. This is relevant only if Ted Thompson was hired as Dallas' GM.

Absolutely right. IIRC he wasnt happy about that either.

At this point we all need to just be happy Rod is no longer in the war room.

Packers were active in free agency last season, they picked up Z'Darius smith, Preston smith, and Adrian Amos and it totally changed their defense.

CCBoy · Jan 18, 2020

Building a defense, the onus should be inside - out, and then front to back...

I'd say, that Dallas needs a top shelf defensive tackle, at the top of their scouting efforts.

Something they DIDN’T do when Ted Thompson was the the GM.

Risen Star · Jan 18, 2020

And 100% of the time Mike McCarthy didn't make that decision.

blueblood70 · Jan 18, 2020

we need Dbs and a safety and a DT so this is good of he tries to push that on Jerry to rebuild this defense a bit..but likes whats been spoken hes not the gm and was the OC play caller he didnt have much input on defense or final say on the picks....

I wanted HaHa, Rollins, and King. Green Bay has apparently been stealing all my pet cats.

Anyone know how those players are faring? I dont watch much GB ball because I hate Rodgers
