We have to update our standards for pass rush production as college football evolves

1. Ah, yes, draft another Gary/LVN and expect a different result lol In the recent history of the league, next to no EDGE rusher with no college production became even just "good" not to mention Pro Bowl or All Pro level player. Look at Stewart's tape against really good tackles, like Will Campbell for example,there's a cut up of those snaps on twitter, he can't do anything against Campbell and looks just as lost as LVN all the time

2. Draft the best CB available at 23. Then maybe a WR or an Int DL in the 2nd round. Leave the Edge alone until later on. This a draft needs first draft.

3. I tried to think of something nice to say about Gute and I can't. It's time for him and Lafleur to go if he doesn't nail this draft Peter. The holes in this roster are at postions that Gutey already attempted to fill multiple times already. That means he's bad at his job.

4. LVN is on par with B Cox and Brooks? golf clap for a 1st RD comparo v two day 3 picks.

5. I want Barron, Amos, or Morrison but I can see Gute drafting Revel and he ends up being a bust.

6. I just can't imagine The pack trading down into the 2nd rd with the draft being in Green Bay. What a buzz kill that would be.

7. Whatever the new and cool way to scout and find premier pass rushers is, count on the Packers to still not get it

8. It seems that Peter is trying to convince himself, because who else will believe this Nonsense. LVN was 29th in Win rate? He will always try to find some off the wall New Age statistics. When at the end of the day it's Production that matters

9. This can't be the same Peter, that last week said, " he'd rather a player to start producing in their 3rd year( in reference to LVN) than a Quay Walker type of player, Asking for a player that Produces immediately? Peter, be all over the place with his talk😂

10. This is a great conversation ,cause I went back and looked at Hafleys last year at BC and his edge player coming out only had TWO sacks in 13 games and last season 12 games he blew that out with 16.5…And led the country with 1.64 sacks per game .U look at the HUGE DECLINE on our front four last season and yes we were eighth in sacks which is actually great ,but pressures etc they were I believe like 22 so we were very off and on with our pass rush .To me now looking at the last few years with our team and Hafleys a huge part of this is scheme .He needs to balance that out better .Last season was all about stopping the run and u can tell our HC told him STOP THE RUN since we were so bad for so many years and they succeeded .Now better balance needs to take place

11. Look enough with the we can move back and still get their guy.If Emeka is there u fucking get him .We all know this is why they have failed to get the couple receivers they wanted cause they either wouldn’t give up what the team wanted cough cough Justin Jefferson or let’s move back and we will still get our guy and other teams KNOW WE WANT THAT PLAYER so they jump us cough cough Eagles in the second round with everyone’s dream db out of Iowa last season so they need to quit playing with these players and if their guy is there or they think someone is going to jump them especially in the NFC like the Lions and Eagles both did then we need to react quick and stop worrying about the sixth rounder that other team is asking for ..No more well we didn’t get our guy so let’s get our second choice .Second choice is for a reason

12. Burden in the famous words of Ted Thompson, he's a complicated fella

13. .. the 23rd + 2026 first rounder to Dallas for Micah…!
    Gutey can’t hit in the 1st round to save his life but from the 2nd on the dude don’t miss 🎯 🎯

    Then you can pick all the projects you want coz that D-Line goes from top 10 to top 3

14. If Shemar Stewart or Mykel Williams fell to Green Bay at #23, 2 Edge Rushers with tantalizing traits but modest production assumes that Brian Gutekunst would not be able to stop himself from taking them. But even for the traits of the Green Bay Packers, they might not be productive enough. Shemar Stewart averaged just 26.33 pressures per year in his final 3 seasons at Texas A&M, while Mykel Williams only managed 28.33 pressures in 3 years at Georgia. Landon Jackson from Arkansas has become a popular mock draft pick for the Green Bay Packers due to his size and athleticism, and averaged only 25.33 pressures in his last 3 college football seasons. It is not out of the question that the Green Bay Packers would take any of these players, but they would be breaking their precedent quite considerably in terms of production. Based on the profile of players at edge rusher in this year’s draft, lacking a blend of athleticism and a decent history of production, and given how the Green Bay Packers are still heavily invested in Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness, it seems increasingly unlikely they are going to draft a pass rusher in Round 1. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

15. Peter justifying average draft picks like LVN and Christian Watson. You are aloud to say they’ve preformed poorly. Hate to see it
