He's a more explosive athlete. 41 minutes ago, Arthur Penske said: I think it would be a solo fight. #RoughandRowdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The more I read about Jeff Smith, the more I like of the guy. Sure, he's not going to be a world beater necessarily, but I really think he'd be an important role player for our offense like a James White type of player.

Read a couple of reports that he is way behind as a football player. Not that he can't catch up, but that you'd almost have to tell him what to do before the play. Audibles would be incredibly challenging at this stage of his career. Water Polo player at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Quote On Monday, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that the visits are important for medical evaluations and follow-ups from the NFL scouting combine, and then smiled a bit and said there’s another reason to have one: “And then sometimes there's just some subterfuge thrown in there as well," he said. The last bit made me wonder who the subterfuge players were. Who do you guys think they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPFan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Some have speculated that Drew Lock was a "subterfuge" visit. However, it also makes sense to me that we'd want to evaluate QBs all the time. First of all, they sometimes drop to you (like Aaron) and a little practice won't hurt for when you really need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not doing audibles anymore. LaFleur calls a play and sometimes there's an option to 'can' it, as in we 'can' do another one. Seems like it's simplified, though.

He has reportedly motivational issues and I just can't see the interest.. But I doubt we had questions on Williams. That's another. I can see real interest in Sternberger. That seems a good fit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's only been playing football for 3 years total, and he knew zero about it before he started (as in, he didn't even know how many players were on the field at one time). He's one hell of an athlete though. Has soft hands (doesn't body catch) and is a pretty good blocker, which is surprising since he's so new to the game. I believe his Wonderlic score was only 15 though. Either way, I hope the Packers grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all the OTs, IMO. I think Gute would want teams to take OTs and QBs in front of pick #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 What do you think Gronk scored on the test? Bet it wasnt high. Can we stop using the wonderlic like it's more than something teams use to see if they need to interview and have a formal conversation with a guy they like? The average score for an NFL player is like 20, it's just football, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or saying some players were subterfuge could be the subterfuge Really though, from what we saw last year it does sound like Gute is well versed in managing a draft day from a logistics/operations standpoint (C.F. grabbing Jaire and netting an extra 1st). Looking forward to this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it has some merit otherwise they wouldn't do it at all, it's just a question of how much stock each team puts into it, which we don't really know.
