OneTwoSixFive Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Will the new WRs be better than last years rookies.........maybe. They have better measurables. There isn't much more to say until they hit the field, but we will speculate, because it's what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Just had a thought. Belichick opened the way to creating new trends and mismatches. He did double TE sets and splitting them out wide to create size and speed advantages over CBs and LBs. He also went to the opposite end of the spectrum by having lots of smaller nippy receivers (including the RB) that were impossible to close down quickly enough. He was constantly stressing the defence in many different ways. I wonder if McCarthy has identified an opportunity to lead a new trend by incorporating tall and fast receivers in every spot to create severe mismatches, it would be almost impossible to defend against. If successful it might lead to other teams trying to copy our blue print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWood21 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Can they really be any worse? I mean, I wouldn't expect them to be anything special but you have to figure at least one if not two makes the final 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Moore is flat out a lock for the final 53. Can anyone point out a time GB didn’t keep a fourth rounder for at least their rookie season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cory Rodgers, WR/PR Drafted April 2006 Cut on September 2nd 2006 But your point stands anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have to think our receiving core, including the newbies, will benefit from having Rodgers throwing to them in camp and during the season, as opposed to Hundley. Last year was a difficult year to evaluate individual performances on the offense. If Rodgers stays healthy at competes at his usual high level, then these new cats will hopefully get an opportunity to showcase their skills with the best in the business, which doesn't automatically ensure they'll see a lot of snaps in games, but it'll be enough to give MM and staff a good look at what they have to work with in the future.

He couldn't catch a punt or run a route. It was like he hadn't played organized football since 8th grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of only 3 picks from the previous GM that immediately showed that they had absolutely no business being on an NFL playing field (the others being Ricky Elmore and Brian Brohm).

Kepler Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 10 hours ago, Joe said: I think this is a debate that should wait until TC. However, I have to contend that maybe one of the three WR's we selected makes the final 53 unless we're worried about losing someone. Also, kinda curious as to the hate for Yancey; y'all know he was a rookie last year right? Trevor Davis will be cut. Heck, I'd cut him now so he has a chance of latching on with another team. Out of the three WR's we drafted, hypothetically, which moves to the slot? I'm so hesitant to cut players on their rookie contracts just because it takes so long to develop anymore. With that said, Davis is definitely beginning to frustrate in GB. I think this summer is his last chance in the eyes of the coaching staff. Especially considering the punt return potential of Alexander. I personally wouldn't use Alexander in that role if he performs lights out, but that's another discussion.
