packfanfb Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 At this point, regardless whether we make a move or not, I just want the draft to get here lol. At least I know I'll get some action for 3 days in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerraymond Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 If we get to the draft and one of Richard Sherman, AJ Bouye, Malcolm Butler, Adoree Jackson, Bashaud Breeland, Darqueze Dennard or Kevin King isn't a Packer, I'm going to be extremely disappointed in our FO. CB isn't a position to mess around with. I don't want a rookie starting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the utmost confidence they will get the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damarious Randall was good enough as a rookie as well. TBH, as long as all of those listed are still available, I don't want to sign anyone before the draft. Let's see what happens. Wouldn't you prefer Samuel Jr, or Newsome Jr, for 2 million over those guys at 4 or 5? I feel much the same about the DL. Yes, something will need to be done before August. But what is the difference between the guys that we can afford now, vs the guys that we will be able to afford after the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can do anything less than a vet CB and a #29 or #62 rookie CB at minimum if you're serious about getting better on that side of the ball. The DL is so screwed I don't have any ideas. Maybe bring in a guy like Pennel and hope to stop the run. Gute had his chance 2 years ago Edited March 21, 2021 by cannondale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, but what I have heard is that this is a poor DL class overall. I don't know when we should have gone DL in the last couple of drafts, but we really should have been working on the depth in the very least. We have been running with Clark, Lowry and nobody since Letroy Guion left 3 or 4 years ago. Later I might look at the hindsight machine to see if we could have done anything there, but it really feels like this was neglected in particular by both TT and Gute. I like to think that we can get lucky with a CB that can contribute. I still have some hope for Ka'dar, and I think Chandon can be good enough as well. I don't think we are sitting on future stars here, but I think they could be good enough to win with, if the rest of the defense pulls its weight. I also think that Gray is a good coach that will help the development of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda stinks Gutey only has taken 2 DL in the past 3 drafts. 1 Being Keke who has been decent, and Looney who was taken in the 7th and converted to TE.. Its definitely showing its dividends where we are now. I hope he drafts like 2 in this draft. Although its still young in Gutes tenure, Ted at least tried for a lot of years, a lot of misses in the first 3 rounds, but some pretty big hits, Raji, Daniels, Clark.

He may be the "cat's meow" to some as a player but I just can't get the last, most important game of the year to have a horrible, horrible showing. I know it cost him a ton of money, if nothing else I don't mind comes available $49.99 is a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change anything one side would need to gain permission from the other party. There's usually auto-language in the contracts that you can restructure the contract so the cash flow isn't any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The Packers could have cut Josh Jackson (who is so bad he wasn't even active down the stretch last year) and Oren Burks (who's basically worthless) and saved just over $2.2m. In other words, the Packers basically could have bought a proven DB like Justin Coleman or Desmond King (who can also return punts) for the price of simply dropping 2 players who are dead weight on the roster. Smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
