packfanfb Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Packers running out of options. Might have to wait until after the draft. Just hope Gute doesn't plug his nose and pretend our DL doesn't stink outside of 97. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks for your thoughts, Alex. Your take is basically that the Packers self-perceive as reasonably OK with DL-as-is, with some hopeful improvement resulting from internal/developmental age-based improvement, and some coaching/scheming improvement. I think you're right in how they self-perceive; and hope they are right. I do think they will want to add one to the roster, and carry 6 if healthy. But yeah, a lot of board posters have been wanting both a vet FA, AND a highish draft choice, which would be putting the room at 7. I think that's probably too many to actually carry. I would like to add a day-2 DL draft pick, myself. Maybe he'll play some, or maybe largely developmental. But I'd like somebody with more ceiling that Lancaster/Adams/Lowry, even if he doesn't necessarily factor into the rotation early on (barring injury or a "wow" camp). Would basically like somebody with upside to eventually be above-average. You mention not using more than 4; do you think that might change depending on personnel? Or perhaps change from game-to-game? Last year we had 5 guys, but with Keke as a developmental late-round redshirt. But I do wonder whether they might not perhaps expand the usage to 5 this year, at least in certain games/matchups? For example, perhaps Keke will have improved enough to include in the rotation, and they might have more particular package down-and-distance specialized usage to use all five? Or **IF** they draft a guy in rounds 2 or 3, and he actually is unexpectedly ready to use as a rookie, or at least in certain packages?

MacReady Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Noooooooooooooooooooooo Wolfe is a Raven. Number one free agent gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just don't get our approach right now, man. LIS last night, I don't understand how you invest so heavily in a 36 year old QB and then just go about things as normal. You can't be lukewarm in this business, man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that was never going to happen with this locker room and this upper management. He's a lot to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have plenty of time before and after the draft but I've said for a while I'm afraid Gute thinks we are okay there. Hope I'm wrong.

That's a lot. Green Bay would have had the (5th year) option to do so. As it stands, it’s irrelevant...except for our off-season, quarantine-fueled banter!

Now you get it but that is what it takes to keep a QB of that caliber. It does put pressure on scouting and drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
