To be fair, read the worst take thread - a lot of people loathed the Josh Allen pick at the time.

49ers contacted the Packers prior to the draft to query if they were willing to trade - due to the rumours probably number three, a punch of other picks and Garoppolo. They were an option but not now. The weaknesses of the Raiders and Broncos would be the huge risk of moving into the AFC; it’s the toughest conference between the two by far.

Rodgers apparently previously stated he’d want a move to the 49ers, Broncos or the Raiders. I would suggest the first option would be off the table after the Lance pick but the latter two could be possibilities. The Broncos have a decent roster but lack of strength when it comes to the QB; it wouldn’t be easy but with a bit of luck I think they could make the Championship game. They would certainly be competitive and the Broncos would probably treat him the same way as the Bucs treated Brady - give him anything to help get the franchise over the line.

The Packers could have drafted Winfield instead of Love at 26, which would have meant the Bucs would have been without him for both the season and the NFC Championship Game. How much of an impact would that switch have had on the outcome? No one knows, except more of an influence than Love had for sure. One gripe from Rodgers appears to be the lack of communication with him, though. On NFL Network tonight the hosts asked Bruce Arians whether Tom Brady had been made aware of the plan to pick Kyle Trask at 64 - Arians made it clear he had been. This wasn’t a even a first round pick, let alone one where the front office traded up especially; this was at the end of the second. I think Rodgers is a pain in the backside who can be very difficult to get on with but, rightly or wrongly, he feels let down by the Packers front office and does not want to work with them anymore. He’s basically said them or me but at the moment the front office are holding firm. I can see him retiring early just to get way rather than go back on his threats which, whatever you think of him, would be a shame for the game.

It looks like everyone's abandoned the draft room and left one person to choose the Browns pick.

As said on the first page, I think we'll draft the BPA now - whether that's offense, defense or special teams.

I think they're making a lot of the Davis Mills pick; it's not as though Houston took him at one. Would you really want to go into the season with Tyrod Taylor and Ryan Finley as Back Ups?

Feel much better about our draft now than last night - maybe it's because I've had some sleep! Would be nice to trade up into the fourth but I'm not sure if it's really necessary.

We would have done tonight had Basham not been at 61.

Not so concerned about WR, more a RB. It's not so much missing Diggs but having a variation - our run game was very poor last year. Maybe we'll look to bring someone in in a trade with a bit more experience. I know it is early in terms of completing the roster.

Just thought a Running Back would add some variation - I guess we were unfortunate in that Etienne was taken just before our first pick though I reckon we would have gone with Rousseau anyway.

On paper it looks great but take Diggs out of the game and we look weak. Admittedly, Beasley was playing with an injury at the end of last year so hopefulluy he'll be returning fit and firing. Our running game can easily be exposed, though - think I would have preferred taking Carter or Gainwell in the third though, as I said, as an individual player I do like the idea of Brown.

As much as I like Basham and Brown inparticular as individual players (I have doubts about Rousseau) it feels like our front office has been taken over by Green Bay's - focus on defense and don't give the QB much in way of additional support. And even Green Bay has managed to draft a WR this year.

Did we have an issue with the run game in the play offs last year? Going off our picks I must have imagined it...

Dammit, Washington. Though I don't know if we would have picked a WR anyway.

Two picks in two seconds? Liked that.

Josh Palmer preferred ahead of Dyami Brown as a WR? This draft feels like a lucky dip.

He's not an Edge so we wouldn't have picked him anyway.

I wish we weren't so predictable. I hate what we've done; considering the players available why... just why?

Dyami - Elijah and Rondale are both Moore.

Considering they used up almost every minute I guess they may have tried to trade and then panic picked?

Imagine trying to perform with Roger Goodell looking down from the wall!

Feels like we'll pick someone who barely anyone on here has asked for - just like the first draft!

It's a draft pick, not an Oscar acceptance speech... get on with it.

It's ridiculous that we know Miami's 42nd pick but the 41st pick has only just been announced. I've heard of satelitte delay but this is something else!
