MacReady Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Yeah, I laugh at people pointing to his recant as proof he cares about football. He wouldn't have made that post if his original comment was a non-issue. Of all the drafts, people should know better than to think someone bringing up money isn't a red flag. It's not a gigantic issue, but it is an issue that every single GM has in the back of their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 2019!!! They're not that different anymore. Some teams have their best pass rushers going against the RT. Both Tackles are premium postions and drafting a RT for next year early should be on the Packers radar. While I still think LT is slightly more important due to blocking the blindside and teams put their better tackle there; I agree both positions need to be basically equally as good and both face very good pass rushers. With that being said, I am not sure if anyone has actually ran the numbers but, it seems to me rookie tackles get a lot more snaps at RT than they do at LT, hence being more plug and play than LT imo. It isn't necessarily which position takes longer to develop; it is more of the fact that teams will use their more experienced and initially better player at LT. I would be completely fine if they took a tackle early, especially a guy like Risner at 30 or 44. I am a big fan of building the offensive line. I just don't think it is as desperate of need as some others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cakeshoppe Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 White's twitter post isn't recanting anything. When you watch the video, he was asked something along the lines of "Why should a team draft an ILB top-10 overall" (you can't hear the full question in the clip I saw, but it's easy to tell from context.) He goes on about his numbers and achievements and then at then end he jokes that teams should be willing to draft him now, because 5 years from now it'll cost them $100M. His tweet about it accurately describes comments that were taken out of context and plastered all over the sports gossip world. He's saying that to respond to fans who read a headline and made up their minds, not scouts who actually know what he said. Would I have said it? No, that kind of braggadocio isn't my style. Have half the league made similar comments about their own worth as players? Yep. Non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has everything to do with the RT being in the QBs line of sight. He's able to see a defender coming and can minimize the damage. The LT requires the trust from the QB, as a blindside hit can end a season in a quick hurry. Only makes sense to allow a rookie to get his feet wet on the right side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel is awesome. Hooker is awesome. Isabella is an early round 2 player. Saunders is a round 3 player. Jenks is awesome. Karon Higdon deserves a look as a fullback.

St Vince Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I admit I really don't follow the college game that's why I love this site. A lot of you guy's are very informed about college prospects. You put out the names and I go watch their tape. There's a receiver Hollywood Brown I've been watching tape on. This team desperately needs a quick big play receiver and returner. Is there a possibility he'll be there at 44? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foot injury, size concerns, and abundance of good late-1st/early-2nd receivers in this draft could easily push him down to #44. That said, all it takes is one team looking for speed to draft him in the 1st round. Hard player to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed the combine with a 4.4 flat shuttle, best of all OL, 7.44 3 cone was second best for all OL. At 6'5" 315 is a cookie cutter size for LT, every report I've ever read says he has great feet, arm length just fine at 33.5. Haven't seen any red flags. Wondering why he isn't a consensus top 10 LT prospect. IMO he's going to go before we even pick. He'll be the first OT off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
