I consider that an injury bomb He went to the Jets in year 2013, his third year in the league and got 11 carries, then out of the league. ACL is 2011 was something people came back from and played well for a long, long time. This is not an injury that robs one of their speed or ability to cut. He never did because he didn't have the talent to be in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I re-registered the name Alex Green 20 in 2017 because I was that confident he was going to be great for the Packers. That's your simplest guess?

Joe Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 4 hours ago, AlexGreen#20 said: That's an illogical assumption to make. If you get 2 average starters out of a draft, you had a pretty good draft. Acting like we're pulling 4 starters out of this draft for sure is just wrong minded. If you assume you have a 50% chance of hitting on a first rounder, 25% chance of hitting on a 2nd rounder, 10% chance of hitting on a 3rd rounder, and a 5% chance of hitting on anything later than that, we'd expect 1.55 starters out of this draft. We had two first rounders, a second, and a third. By your logic, we should at least be getting three starters from that group. Personally, I feel optimistic that we will get at least 3 starters out of the draft. What I am saying is that after Sternberger, there's really nobody that I think can make it through their first contract with the exception of possibly Keke. Day 3 was rather mediocre for us IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there many guys taken in the 5th round or later by any team you thought were probably going to earn a second NFL contract? Since pretty much after R4 in any draft you're in "take a flyer on this guy" territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your simplest guess? Why you'd re-register an old name is a separate question. And the simplest guess to that would be: because you had been using it for some time and it had "stuck." .... Can't handle not being the smartest guy in the room, can ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly are you looking for out of day 3 of the draft? Last year we had 8 picks from the 4th round on, 3 contributed and one of those is the punter. MVS, EQ, Scott 2017 seven picks yielded: Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones 2016 four picks yielded: Blake Martinez, Dean Lowry 2015 five picks yielded: Jake Ryan, Brett Hundley, Aaron Ripkowski 2014 five picks yielded: Corey Linsley These are the guys that have started, or played significant snaps for the Packers on offense or defense. Linsley is playing on his second contract. Martinez and Lowry are on their way to receiving a second contract from the Packers or someone else. Williams, Jones, MVS, EQ, and Scott are too early to tell. There just aren't a lot of 2nd contract guys coming from the 4th round and beyond. I skimmed through to the late 80s, and the best 4th and later draft haul the Packers have had was most likely the 4/4 2nd contract 2010 draft of Quarless, Newhouse, Starks, CJ Wilson. So, if you think we will be getting 1/4 hits out of those picks, I'm not really seeing the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boratt Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 4th round or later 1990-2017 Jackie Harris, Bryce Paup, Edgar Bennett, Mark Chumura, Mark Brunell, Doug Evens, Gabe Wilkins, Dorsey Levens, Bill Schroeder, Adam Timmerman, Marco Rivera, Matt Hasselback, Donald Driver, Diggs, Kabeer, Taucher, Kampman, Corey Williams, Scott Wells, Poppinga, John Jolly, Bishop, Crosby, Sitton, Flynn, Lang, Brad Jones, Newhouse, Starks, House, Lawrence Guy, Daniels, Bahk, Tretter, Hyde, Lindsey, Janis, Martinez, Lowry, Thats a little over two starters per year from the 4th round or later. Maybe not as high of percentage as the first couple rounds, but still very important! 9 pro bowlers too, so about one every other year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 A lot of those are stretches. Lawrence Guy bounced around the league for years, did nothing here. Flynn and Hasslebeck were backup qbs only. Some of those other guys were replacement level starters too and WTF is Janis doing even mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You list 39 players, not even close to two per year. 9 Pro Bowlers in 28 years is not quite 1 every three years. Just doing your math man.

Janis and his ST value for a couple years is worth a 7th for sure but yeah that's not a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
