Buying low on this guy I think. Best of all, the majority of his learning and rookie stumbles are behind him. Have him follow DaVante around and a big piece of the offensive puzzle would be in place.

Talk about a domino effect the market is so narrow in free agency that Robby Anderson will have a lot of suitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If we can bring a vet in at a reasonable number then fine. We draft a WR early (and likely another TE) and we focus our available cap dollars on Bulaga, ILB, Crosby, Veldheer, a stud D-Lineman to line up next to Clark, and our upcoming FA's like Clark. We already have one top notch WR, they are dime a dozen in the grand scheme of things. Adams, 1st or 2nd round pick, 4 other guys and another talented TE to develop along with Sternberger. I like it. Rodgers is the most important part of this equation. I'd like to see less plays that are sitting there waiting to be made ignored. Back to Rodgers.

I think there's every reason to believe that a rookie WR and Rodgers are going to have issues. The entire Free Agent list of guys who played more than 50% of their team's offensive snaps and their receiving yards: Robby Anderson (779) Larry Fitzgerald (804) Emmanuel Sanders (869) Amari Cooper (1189) Zach Pascal (607) Demarcus Robinson (449) Randall Cobb (828) Nelson Agholor (363) Danny Amendola (678) Geronimo Allison (287) Ted Ginn (421) Breshad Perriman (645) That's the entire list. Cooper, Anderson, some old dudes, and some JAGs. If a rookie doesn't get driven off his route and is where Rodgers expects him to be AR will throw him the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a domino effect Yes, trade for Anderson, draft a WR high and let the guys already here to fight it out for the rest of the spots. It will all depend upon how they feel about Bulaga, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Aaron’s ideal receiving core had 3 smart quick shifty players (at any time Jennings, Cobb, Jones, Adams, Nelson) that can get open and that AR has the chemistry with to go off script with, so at this time I don’t think his ideal wr core won’t exist for 2 years, since the FA options are limited (when people are drooling over Robbie Anderson.......) and it will take 1-2 years to develop a wr. With that said, looking at the class, a double dip round 2/3 (semi wishful thinking) of Devonta Smith and Tyler Johnson would have our wr position solved in 2021. Both are smart, quick yac guys, who run good routes. Smith especially looks like a packer wr (Jennings, Adams, Driver mold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper, Anderson, some old dudes, and some JAGs. Of that list, Sanders is still my guy. Don't care if he's an "old dude" because we are talking about a 1-2 year window where we have a legit chance at this thing. I care about Sanders brings in 2020-21, not after. Should be able to get him under $10m/y given his age and he's still the guy on 3rd down who I trust the most to be able to get open versus most of the other guys on that list. Sanders was the perfect add for us in 2019. He'd still be the perfect add for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pick him over Bulaga but that shouldn't be an issue. We don't have $10m in cap room. Hell, cut Graham and literally give his cap money to Sanders. Problem solved. We have enough cap room to resign Bulaga and at least add one higher end FA and maybe another mid-range guy or two. Another option since you brought it up -- would you take Sanders over Linsley (knowing you have Patrick)? I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 How much (if any) would you give Cobb for a reunion? https://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/48678/a-randall-cobb-reunion-packers-need-a-slot-receiver-and-he-might-be-free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 A decent veteran TE is cheaper, compared to the cost of a decent WR. Added to that, it is an exceptional draft year for WRs and a lousy year for TE. Therefore, a TE is the obvious veteran choice and a WR the logical draft choice. DL could go either way, though my money is on DL/WR as the first two picks (always assuming there is a viable candidate left when the pick arrives).
