The "Northwestern Kid" is the most interesting candidate. He fits the Packer mold and most clearly resembles Rashad Gary. He is big at 282 lbs and has eye opening speed at 4.49! He could play in the middle or edge. I am surprised he is not listed in the top 10 of the draft. Most have him around top 20. I was happy to hear Green Bay had him in for a talk. I would love to see them take him if available at 15. His name is Adetomiwa Adebaware. I don't obsess over forty times but I do not ignore them either. I wish you would have elaborated a little bit more about him. I also like Nolan Smith. He is definitely a playmaker. The third interesting player is a middle rusher named Calijah Kancey who has been compared to Aaron Donald. I agree with first round for edge or DL Moreover the Packers in 22 were a mediocre 27th in sacks. It seemed they often could not stop the run either. I would also consider Miles Murphy who recently ran an amazing 4.51. Frankly I'd be be happy with any of the above. I doubt if any of them will be around much past pick 15 . If they go offense Kincaid the TE would be the pick. Hopefully a good TE will be taken in the 2nd and maybe even trade up to get one of the top three.

WD.....Adebawore would be a great choice, but we can do better at #15. Once Upon A Time, I thought he might be available when we picked at #45, but I think that train left the station with his combine showing.
There seems to be a general consensus that the 4 QBs will be gone by 15, so that leaves 11.
Bijan Robinson
Anderson
Carter.
I don't think any of them will fall to 15. Let's look at the next group of about 5.
The best corner, the best Olineman, the best WR, the best TE, the best S......all still available.
I think the short list at #15 for me is going to be:
Quentin Johnston, Brian Branch, Dalton Kincaid, Darnell Wright.

The article above by Andy really gave a persuasive argument for NOLAN SMITH. as well as Adebaware. Nolan Smith is one of the few game changing play makers on defense. I suspect if he was 15 lbs heavier he would be the number one pick in the draft. His film is jaw dropping. We have to get a premier Edge Rusher to compliment Gary. Andy also made the comparison of Smith to Clay Matthews. For the first pick Kincaid is tempting but my big three are Nolan Smith. Nolan Smith and Nolan Smith. They should target him first and then Kincaid or Darnell Washington at TE. Trade up if necessary. Smith could play anywhere and everywhere all over the field. I think he could be a great LB or even play strong safety times. Get creative with him. Smith in my view puts the Alabama edge to shame and many had him as the number one pick.
