OneTwoSixFive Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Here is a piece from tom Kislingbury on how many of each position group teams are interviewing. I thought the results were worth a post here. When you look at the Packers it is really surprising (to me) that so much attention has been paid to DBs, CB in particular. While many of us might have expected the odd later pick to fill in there, this attention suggests rather more weight put behind it. At the opposite end of the scale, they are paying less attention to the O line than just about any other team except the Cowboys (who have invested hugely there in the not so distant past). Also, given how abundant the position seems to be this year, there was less much attention paid to WRs than I would have anticipated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm guessing there are a ton more draftable DB's than there are OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman5252 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is interesting, I'll also say I wouldn't put the most stock in it since it isn't weighted for like projected round selection. We'll probably have 3 rookie DBs on the team that are drafted round 3 to UDFA since in the modern NFL they fill out your special teams. We'll probably carry 6-7 corners and 5-6 safeties which is almost a quarter of the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathstar Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Curious to compare this to previous years, as in is this just our current FOs MO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by number of visits (which also confuses me, are the numbers really this diverse?) Edited April 15, 2020 by chillparsi1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably carry 6-7 corners and 5-6 safeties which is almost a quarter of the roster. 1. Yeah, I'm not sure what if anything to draw from that. Back when they used to have full visits, most of those were spent on late-round/UDFA guys. They may need to talk to more guys to figure out who's a good value with all their 6th and 7th round picks, and who to chase UDFA, than what do with their three 1st/2nd/3rd round picks. 2. Interest in secondary isn't that surprising. The superficial is to see two starting safeties (Savage, Amos) and the first two starting corners (Jaire, King) and feel like it's not as needy. But after those four guys, the secondary is really thin. For a team that usually plays nickel and dime, and usually carries ≥10 secondary guy, the whole 90-man roster has only 11 secondary guys total.... Front four, locks: Jaire, King, Amos, Savage Next five: Sullivan, Greene, Redmond, Hollman, Jackson Practice squad: Kabion Ento, DeShawn Amos They've barely got enough bodies to fill the roster even if nobody has a single injury all season; and then only if Redmon, Hollman, Jackson, Ento, and Amos are all considered NFL-roster worthy guys you want on your roster. Absolutely likely that they spend a couple of picks on secondary, plus go UDFA-heavy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Without any research I’d venture a guess all teams’ rosters look very similar. The fact we have 4 established starters at CB and S and a 2nd round pick backing up the CBs (I didn’t say he was good, just a high pick) is probably better than most teams. It’s pretty common forum belief that every other team’s roster is full of established starters and burgeoning pro-bowlers but the depth charts look pretty similar w late rnd guys and udfa’s as primary backups (and in many cases-starters) Edited April 16, 2020 by Kampfgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I checked in the division. Bears 15, Lions 13, Packers 11, Vikings have only 9 secondary guys. They've really lost personnel there, so they'll be prioritizing secondary. I assume teams use draft, UDFA, and street FA's to get their 90-man rosters more normalized.

Isherwood Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I do wonder if GB is doing more work on CB, if they anticipate a WR run before their pick and the corner class to get pushed down? It might not help us as much year 1, but we know they value CBs highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
