I haven’t watched much on him, what is his NFL comp based on what you have seen ?

Watching NFL Network mock draft (Fans pick) and they have us taking Kincaid@15. This would be pretty much my worst case scenario. If that's the best that's left we need to trade down.

Media compares him to Michael Pittman/Mike Evans. Not really fast but has a great catch radius and decent route runner.

I think depending on how the draft goes we look at oline early knowing Bakhtiari is gone next year.

If we don't take a tackle in the first, I'm confident we take one in the 2nd.

Some interesting rumor tidbits from Acmepackingcompany.com on a number of draft prospects with some level of Packer contact for day 3. The header of the article references Edge Rushers, but other position players are discussed as well

I think Zach Tom is our LT and I think we have a couple of guys including Yosh that can man the RT position. I think we are good there.

Feels like Kincaid at #15 is getting a lot of traction from insiders and draft analysts, but I'm also seeing a lot of mocks having JSN fall into the late teens. Ideal scenario is you can get JSN and one of the three top TE's (Mayer, Kincaid, Washington) without trading back up.

I've still seen Mayer's name thrown around for us a lot. I am just having a really tough time getting onboard with that at #15. If that's their preferred route I hope they can swing a trade back and get an extra pick out of it. Truly not sure what to make of Dalton Kincaid at this point.

I think this is pretty fair, I've made my opinions on TEs fairly well known but if they trade back and pick up an extra day 2 pick and then nab one in the 20s that's fine imo.

I've gone back go Kincaid alot over the last few days as people seem to be mocking him to us more to see if there is anything I missed in my initial study on him but it's hard for me to get excited about him, a 24 year old who didn't test at all just doesn't seem like an ideal use of a 1st round pick to me

Mayer is going to be a really interesting case study to me, right now he's my TE2 behind Washington but I wouldn't be stunned if he's the best TE in this class or completely busts. His production level at his age at a blue chip program is pretty rare, that said he is a good but not great athlete and is missing some key traits that most of the really good TEs have so I'm really curious to see how he turns out. He has some major pros and some major cons with him

Interesting article about who might or might not be on the Packers draft board for WRs

Athletic Mock first three picks were:

Paris Johnson, Jr.
Darnell Washington
Felix Anudiki-Uzomah

Could live with that.

He always seemed unlikely to be taken at 15 but this could impact our r2 pick

Tom is an average LT, but would be a better guard. Actually his best position is center and he will probably be our center if Myers doesn't step up his game this year.

Exactly. I'd even be OK packaging some picks (assuming we get a Jet's 2nd) to grab an additional 1st to draft Mayer.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

An average LT is worth more than a first round pick. If he could be average why would you ever move him somewhere else?
