Recapping the second day of Packers' NFL draft, including Edgerrin Cooper and Javon Bullard

Packers writers Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood join host JR Radcliffe to break down Day 2 of the NFL draft for the Green Bay Packers, including the selections of linebackers Edgerrin Cooper and Ty'Ron Hopper, running back MarShawn Lloyd and safety Javon Bullard. How'd Green Bay do, and were there any opportunities missed as the draft unfolded?
A trade back means the Packers have eight (!!) picks on Day 3. How does the Packers draft strategy differ from the rest of the NFC North?

Gutey's looking like a genius... a run on CB's, he drops from no. 41 to no. 45 - gets the best LB in the Draft in Edgerin Cooper + ADDS another 5th + 6th Rd picks - now =13! A master move in subterfuge... and we end up with the best safety in Bullard... We are no. 1 reestablishing our firm grip on the NFC North. Our next Superbowl Championship is arriving much sooner than anyone can anticipate!

Some fans forget that we are soooooo ahead of schedule on what many perceived as at least a 2-3 year rebuild. It's crazy the vibes coming into this season compared to last season at this time. What Gute has done in the previous 2 drafts has been amazing and I like the way this one is headed💪 Its been awhile since I've been this pumped up about the Packers. I love Rodgers and what he did for this franchise but it felt like the previous 3 years that a dark cloud was always hanging over this franchise. He didn't look happy out there and not taking the offseason seriously and his distain for young WR's just put terrible vibes out there. Now we have JLove. The players love him and you can see all the hard work he is putting in this offseason. Imagine the pressure he had on him last year and he worked through all the early adversity with the youngest offense in the league and when it was all said and done, looked like a top 3 QB in the NFL. Not too many young QB's could have withstood all the pressure of replacing two former legends and trying to navigate an offense with so many 1st and 2nd yr. players. And he passed that test and looked like a seasoned vet at the end of the season. Any flaws im %100 confident he works them out. Just a breath of fresh air Love has injected into this team at the most important position in football! Just a really fun team to watch and a great time to be a Packers fan. In Gute we trust💪💚💪💚💪

The previous 2 drafts keep getting better and better and this one is looking like 3-in-a-row! Amazing how the Packers had only one bonefide WR in Davante Adams and NO ONE else (St Brown/ MVS...) none was panning out... Now we are the envy of the entire NFL with an entire room full of excellent and ascending WR's... Rodgers... Bakhtiari... the old regime became these albatrosses (financially + otherwise) around the neck of the Packers abilities to move forward... I am beyond thrilled for the Packers immediate and long-term success!

[@timliddicoat4870]

Bullard hits hard for his size. Very active.

[@TheDevilsKnot]

Is spoons camera frozen? No, see, he's blinking.

[@voldemort008]

Bullard is from Georgia, not Alabama lol.

[@rajno0310]

Wow, Tom sure sounds under whelmed with every pick here.

[@user-hl6iy9tf1o]

He lame as hell I don’t want him as a packers fan

[@timliddicoat4870]

Edgerrin can thump.

[@bobwelke3308]

The enthusiasm here is...

[@ttomgast1769]

...less non existent .

[@Whiskey61]

Christian Mahogany, Mason McCormick and Tanner Bortolini could be picks for interior oline. Any would at least make sure Royce Newman doesn't see the field.

[@sambrinn5606]

💯💯💯 If we go into camp and Newman is on the 53 man roster, the draft was a failure.

[@dciccantelli]

Bullard is from Georgia. Not Alabama.

[@vegasj305]

Speed and physicality day!!

[@RobertEustace]

Lighten up and don't be droll

[@user-hl6iy9tf1o]

Yo you guys kill me sometime what ya’ll don’t watch college tape cooper is a monster 8 sacks as a inside LB wym he not strong as quay he way stronger if ya’ll going to say things be accurate Bullard is the best safety in the draft and can play multiple positions and then turn around and might have got the best running back to

[@MrMikeyriggs]

re: Lloyd fumbles: As you are well aware of the Packers have a heartbreaking history of turnovers ( fumbles, muffs, interceptions) over the decades - in the playoffs!

[@bryankarst3881]

I CAN"T stand analysts who constantly say "we don't know"....Do you know what your job is??!! I guess none of us will only know when the season starts so......see ya in the fall!

[@checkingoutgypsymike2075]

Yeah butter finger's isn't good, i was wanting Estime.

[@sstaz22]

C'mon dudes..the comment re "buzz kill" is spot on.

[@user-wo2ky1dp4l]

Wow, remind me to not watch your stuff. Talk about a buzz kill. I was very pleased with the draft so far.

[@GiuseppeJoseph]

remind me to not choose a fake user name

[@ricknesar1627]

JT fumbled a lot in college

[@gen.barnakey__]

Silverstein, so miserable.

[@real0072]

Ty Ron Hopper, Missouri, LB was the worst pick thus far in the entire NFL Draft. Undersized, not explosive, frankly not NFL caliber.

[@checkingoutgypsymike2075]

I like Williams out of Miami more, oversized safety turned LB.

[@scotthoaglund1844]

LOL...he was Butkus finalist.

[@GiuseppeJoseph]

so you now know more than NFL scouts and coaches and other analysts ?

[@bradgordon9670]

While want honest opinions this is entertainment and Silverstein is so negative and so boring. If the paper wants to broaden its appeal it needs to dump this stiff from its podcasts.

[@user-hl6iy9tf1o]

Tom need to go I’m so tired of hearing him his information is wack he got fake packer fan vibes and he so dry he look like he don’t have any knowledge he just a packers fan go to another team he not a packers type he lame
