ThatJerkDave Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just a couple of thoughts. I have been real high on the Packers WR size thing. But... They did bring in Tavon Austin for a season. He is listed at 5'8 179. He didn't do a lot, got injured, go figure, and he wasn't a draft pick. But we did bring him on board. Looking at Skyy Moore, listed at 5'10 195. How big was Greg Jennings at the time of the draft? NFL.com has Jennings at 6'0 198, I have seen 5'11 listed from combine sites. It seems that Jennings hovered around the 200 pound mark. Point is, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two size wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I have mentioned I wouldn’t be surprised if Pierce is their guy at 28. He screams Packer and is very similar to Jordy. And Jordy was taken as a high second… so a late first isn’t crazy for that type of prospect. Better question is would GB be willing to trade up to secure London? Say trade 22 and a fourth to get in the more likely range. I wonder if any guy is worth it to them. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gute move up with one of their first round picks and a later pick. You have a Rodgers window you are trying to fill. It's no time to sit back. Dont reach,, but go up and get whoever it is they like. JMO.

Oh I have no doubt Gute would move up for a guy he likes… I just curious if he likes any one WR in this draft enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah plus sitting at 22 is one of those weird spots in any draft. Most people say there's only about 20 first ground grades in this draft, so if you want a first rounder you almost have to trade up a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet the house payment on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to will Skyy Moore to be Jennings because they are both from Western Michigan, but I just can't get there. In post career evaluation one of the things that showed on the field with Jennings was his 6.69 3-cone time and how it played with him in-and-out of his breaks. Jennings measured 5'11.2"/197 at the combine by the way. Moore's 3-cone was 7.13, that is just night and day different. Moore measured 5'9.5"/195 at the combine. I think Moore is going to be a good player in the NFL because his college play says so, but 5'9.5" and 7.13 3-cone are hard to ignore also. And yes, they brought Austin but as you noted they didn't spend high draft capital to do it. Big difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone remember when Jennings was a free agent and someone on NFL.com linked his photo on the FA page to the Short People song? That was classic.

The strength of this WR class is depth, not the top. McGinn just came out with his stuff, so you couldn't have known that for a while. Don't understand why people rip on those that bring information here, rather than just posting senseless babble.

And as much was made from Moore's workouts, Jennings jumped better than Moore as well. Moore has bigger hands, and a slightly higher top end speed. I feel like Moore is Jennings as Dotson is Sinorice Moss, if you smell what I'm cooking. Someone is going to take Dotson instead of Moore and be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that no one else in the draft think community figured out that there is no alpha in this class? And that the strength of the WR group is in it's depth, not the top end Chase type prospect? I got into the WR's right about when 'Vante was traded. It was everywhere, and very easy to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it was another source of information that was shared, whether it confirms what you and others already believed or not. Whether it is something brought here from PFF, Peter King, Chris Simms, one of the Packer writers, McGinn or whoever it is just more information and each one of us can do what we want with it. Information should be welcomed. There is no need to try and run those people off and dumb this place down any more than it already is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
