2025 Draft Prospects Thread

[Keg Man]

I'm not excited about this year's draft.

Too many years of Pack stretch picks that don't have a positive impact in year 1 that we're stuck at the end of rookie contracts wondering if they are worth a second contract based on little or nothing. I hope it changes.

I know it sounds like I want a fancy boy. But, I want what Mandarich was supposed to be

Bingo...pretty accurate assessment

I'm excited. You can talk down the talent pool but it's still an opportunity for the team to get better, add competition, skill etc. It's how rosters are built and how winners are built.

You can wish for Mandarich all you want, those days are gone, those players are gone, they are never coming back.

There's always an excitement and a renewed hope, when draft time comes each year. I love all that surrounds it. Let's see what Gutey and Co. can do this year!

I think a pool of draft talent that doesn't have a lot of "star power" creates opportunities for the best evaluators of talent to excel and make gains on their competition - unlike normal when perhaps only teams selecting in the top 10 have the best chances to improve their teams . . .

so what you're saying is that we are hosed.

Tonight you are going to be disappointed. Tomorrow probably much better. Saturday will end in confusion followed by surprise over the summer when some rando from Day 3 can actually play.

Like always.

Crazy Tourism Federation of Wisconsin stretch tonight.
Tomorrow start getting guys who can at least play.
3d day pleasant surprise.

I wasn’t making a statement on any team in particular. I’m going into this weekend not expecting greatness but hoping it’s not disappointing.
