Leader Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 32 minutes ago, BrettFavre004 said: Somewhat common knowledge by now I believe, but Luke Getsy was at Miss St. last year with Simmons. He would know what time of locker room presence and leader he has become. And if brought him in for a visit. i didn’t follow his incident closely at all, but bringing him in for a visit and having Getsy makes me okay if they decide to take him. Now it's a bit more common knowledge than before you typed this cause I didnt realize that. So - if sought out - theres a voice inside the room for an up close and personal POV. Interesting. Not sure how it changes things - but an added dynamic - potentially. Again, I dont think GB has Simmons on their board. Call it "just a feeling" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I wouldn't compare Simmons' case with Mixon at all, other than they were both assaults. Quite a difference between defending your sister and taking a cheap shot at someone who may have called you a name. 14 minutes ago, JaireAlex said: I'd be happy with a move down to 20 and taking Polite and Simmons. That's a better draft than 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a difference between defending your sister and taking a cheap shot at someone who may have called you a name. Simmons is number two on my board. Quite a bit better than Raji. Polite is different than CMIII. But I see elite burst and quickness in Polite's tape. He's not far off Matthews. While he can't hold an edge, Polite can shoot gaps and I'd be surprised if he couldn't hold up in coverage.

MacReady Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Lol, the 2009 draft class was probably top 5 in all the NFL since 2009. Clay Matthews, BJ Raji and TJ Lang. 9 pro bowls. 1 first team all-pro 2 second team all-pro 2 iconic plays that are both top 100 in Packer history With the first pick only playing six years.

This can be better. It's deep. And we have more draft capital than 2009 or ever. Gotta remember we draft low usually. We are lucky to have so much capital in a top thin but deep class. It's Gute's big draft, no doubt. They are very excited at 1265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was great. 2005 was probably more important due to 2 players. The rest of it was crap/injured. We need Gutey to deliver somethin similar 10 years later.

Polite dropped twenty pounds to play in 2018. Very different concerns with these players. Burns has never played at that weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what the actual wow man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One scenario I'd be pleased with the other downright livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
