It sounds like we had some technical difficulties to start out. I hope the NFL doesn't have these problems. It looks like it's fixed on the desktop. Is it OK on mobile?

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:52:03 PM
Ok on my iPad now.

by EcuadorBucky 4/23/2020 11:52:51 PM
For FMCH. I had the same problem. Closed my browser and it was fixed when I restarted

by Bryan 4/23/2020 11:52:59 PM
Seems ok on my iPad

Trade up, trade up, trade up

by Packers Time 4/23/2020 11:53:05 PM
Any chance the packers move up in top 10

by Wolf 4/23/2020 11:53:11 PM
Almost none.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:53:18 PM
Tom! glad to have the blog back.

by cottsb 4/23/2020 11:53:20 PM
good now

by Packer Greg 4/23/2020 11:53:22 PM
Boys.... I like the idea of a RT to anchor the line for the next 7 -10 years.

Tom, how many starters do you think we need to find in this draft?

by Kenski 4/23/2020 11:53:29 PM
Probably just one for this upcoming year. They need an ILB.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:54:03 PM
Dark horse pick, Michael Pittman USC

by Draft day acme packer's 4/23/2020 11:54:09 PM
I like Pittman a lot. But it would be at the end of the second round. Not fast, but just a good receiver who gets open.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:54:34 PM
Will there be a season in your opinion?

by pete 4/23/2020 11:54:41 PM
Yes, I think there will be one, but I don't know what form it will take. I hope they just keep it safe. The last thing we want is for the season to start and then have to be stopped.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:55:19 PM
Tom, sorry for asking again. If Laviska Shenault is there at 30, do the Pack take him? He's a dynamic WR that can play slot, RB, and outside. I'm biased as a CU fan

by FMCH 4/23/2020 11:55:26 PM
I don't think he's worth a first-round selection. But he's close. You have to go back to his junior year. His senior year wasn't nearly as good. You have to figure out why that is.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:56:37 PM
Tom, is there an IT guy in an RV outside your house just in case?

by MJ 4/23/2020 11:56:41 PM
I got my neighbor to stand out there with an old TV antenna and some aluminum foil.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:57:10 PM
Tom any prediction for top 5 picks tonight?

by NJ Packer 4/23/2020 11:57:25 PM
Burrow, Young, Okundah, Wirfs and Tua.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:57:54 PM
What are your thoughts on Antonio Gibson. Good pick rd 3.?

by Chris 4/23/2020 11:57:58 PM
Definitely intriguing. He's a Randall Cobb type except he's not an accomplished receiver. You'd have to figure out how to use him. You can't just line him up and go. But he's a great returner and would be a huge boost on special teams.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:58:42 PM
Tom do Packers finally pick a QB in round 2 if one they really like

by Packersfan 4/23/2020 11:58:49 PM
Doubtful. More likely in the fourth and beyond.

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:59:04 PM
It's great to be back Tom! Welcome from the Bay Area, 80-degrees and beautiful outside, just gave my cocker spaniel 1/2 a haircut - told him I'd need to do the rest on Sunday so I can follow Silverstein. He'll understand.

by Tom from CA 4/23/2020 11:59:14 PM
Boy, I could use a haircut. That's why we're not doing this in video!

by Tom Silverstein 4/23/2020 11:59:29 PM
Where does Zack Baun wind up?

by Bob 4/23/2020 11:59:32 PM
Maybe at No. 36 with the Giants. When I was at UW's Pro Day, they spent a lot of time with him. But that was before they had signed Blake Martinez. I still think they might take him there.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:00:27 AM
I also think it cannot be over stated how important ILB is in this draft. It's more important than WR, OT, etc. I also thing defensive line is important, but that they can get a good player here on day 3. Your thoughts?

by Mark Geiger 4/24/2020 12:00:33 AM
I couldn't agree more. You cannot go into the season with what they now. And the guys after Queen and Murray aren't that good. I asked a scout if any were better than Martinez and he said no.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:01:23 AM
He said some are faster, but all-round they aren't better.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:01:36 AM
The NFL Draft Host cities: 2021 Cleveland, Kansas City 2023, a big city host in 2022. Not good outlook for GB.

by Darryl 4/24/2020 12:01:43 AM
I hear ya on the haircut! I look like "Cousin-It" from the Addam's Family!

by JMc 4/24/2020 12:01:50 AM
tom you mentioned in your video that you thought the packers were going to try to trade up for the 27th pick who do you think they would be after and what would they have to give up to get him

by packers9980 4/24/2020 12:01:58 AM
I think they're moving up more for the positioning so that they are in position to get one of two or one of three guys they value equally. So, it could be Murray or Queen, or it could be Anthony Thomas, if he falls for some reason, or it could be for Justin Jefferson.

Thank you! And please join me for OT. I'll have had about 20 coffees by then and there's no telling what I might say.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:03:52 AM
Tom what about the ILB from A&M - maybe move up in R2 and give up a 4th if Murray is too rich for a move-up?

by Tom from CA 4/24/2020 12:04:26 AM
Do you mean Brooks from Texas Tech? He would be OK in the second, but I really think it's worth Chasing one of the top two. Brooks is short. He's only 6-foot That's a problem. He's got long arms, but I still would go for Murray if possible.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:06:03 AM
Hi Tom, I know you like Jeudy based on your podcast the other night... I also know the Packers could feasibly trade up and have the draft capital. We all know they've done it before. I see Jeudy as a "can't miss guy" worthy of a trade up into the nine to fifteen range if they could pull it off? Would you agree with this decision, and would we have to part with the Saint's first round pick to make that big of a leap? I just see a tier gap between Jeudy/Lamb/Ruggs and Jefferson/Aiyuk/Mims... thoughts?

by Brendan Burns 4/24/2020 12:06:19 AM
If they want to get up to 15, they'd have to give up their first, second and third. That's a lot.

by Tom Silverstein 4/24/2020 12:07:26 AM
How much do you think the SF loss by not being able to defend the run goes into tonight’s draft.
