St Vince

Didn't know Jesse and AL were a part of the NFL.

I heard on the radio a couple of weeks ago that MLF and the coach at Cincinnati are good friends and he gave Lafleur a great endorsement on how great this kid will be at the pro level. So it now makes sense why they reached for him. I doubt if this kid was scouted by Gute, he likes big TE's. Just as last year when they drafted Jenkins this here is the same scenario where Matt used his college connections to find a player to fit his system.

I'll take the 25 y/o everyday over a 34 y/o.

Saints clearing cap space to make a play for Clowney?

Plucked the Booger!

I've come around to believe if we get this version of Funchess we will be ok not drafting a WR or trading for ju ju. He really made Cam look like a decent QB at one time. Mute and enjoy the highlights!

Well that's a problem. You can't generate pressure if you can't stop the run. As much as I hate the Bears i love their defense. They're built to stop the run first and then go after the QB, and they have the personnel to execute both.

I do, he's the FA I want the most. This kid is under 290. I don't know what it is with Pettine and these smaller DL. Seems like 285 to 310 are the body types he likes for his DL. I don't think the Hicks and Snacks types fit his system. I wanted the big 340 lb NT from Nebraska as one of our UDFA but you guessed it he signed with the 49ers.

His Combine numbers were better than Jones, that what i meant.

But in this case the thunder is faster than the lightning lol.

I think the biggest concern is Rodgers silence. Favre is stirring the pot, it would be foolish to believe Brett still doesn't harbor bad feelings towards the organization and would love to see it fail. That ring of honor ceremony didn't sway Favre's feelings one bit. There's still some friction between Favre and the Packers. You could tell just in his tone how he speaks to the media. There's still some bitter feelings in him. After the ceremony someone interviewed him and asked so Brett when will you think you'll be back? And his answer was well we'll have to see i don't want to wear out my welcome. Why would he say that if alls forgiven? Aaron is a mental midget he takes everything personal. And having the pot stirring Favre in his ear instigating cant be a good thing. I haven't heard if MLF or Gute have reached out to Rodgers, if they haven't that's bad on their part and will just make matters more awkward and contentious when they do meet face to face. Just reading through what Favre said in the interview Rodgers will probably help the Packers expedite the process of his exodus even if Love is terrible. With Rodgers ego and chip he constantly carries i dont see the relationship being repaired.The bridge is burnt due to the help of the Mississippi arsonist and I see an ugly divorce on the horizon.

I guess the silver lining of this draft would be that we're returning the entire 2019 draft class to combine with this one. We only got contributions from two guys, Jenkins and Savage. The rest although they may have seen little action they're pretty much are still rookies. We made it to the NFC championship only getting production from two rookies and Savage wasn't healthy the entire season. If the rest of the guys like Keke, Gary, Jace and Holman step up we may have something going forward. The good thing i can say about this class, minus Love we should get good production from Dillon and Deguara. I'm not that concerned until I see the final roster. It's foolish to think Gute and his staff won't pick up some cap casualties to help us also. As for Minn yes they had a hell of a draft but they will have to expose a lot of them to waivers. They all won't make the 53. They drafted too many guys imo. Even if some make it to their PS wouldn't be surprised if we poach a few.

Irv Smith?

Seriously I'm just now noticing they have the same number, what a coincidence lol.

Looking at his tape he looks like the TE version of Wes Welker. A short compact TE, nothing flashy, doesn't have great speed but always finds a way to get open and catches everything. He should create a lot of mismatches. I'm very impressed how the guy creates separation which has been a problem with our receivers, he's wide open on many of his catches. Really like this pick, very looking forward to see him and Jace on the field together.
