If the Packers make that pick I'll trust them .. they've had the kid in for a visit and should have a pretty good idea of what makes him tick. I was really high on him early on. Super nice production in the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to maybe move up a couple picks from 28 in dont see that being too difficult either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Karlaftis at 28. I'd take a Burks/Karlaftis 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Chiefs just went Daxton/Pickens back to back. Would make for an interesting comparison over the next few years to our picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'm being turned off more and more with Burks. First of all...the oft repeated Deebo Samuel comparison. I just DONT see it. Deebo is more agile and much faster. Burks isn't going to do the same thing with any regularity. Samuel has that slight shift in him where it causes the first tackler to bounce off him before he accelerates away. Burks doesnt have that, he instead plows through the defender before attempting to accelerate away. In the NFL that just means he's easier to tackle. His game is far far closer to Shenault. Secondly he does line up in slot quite often. We dont want that, we want a true outside WR. He does have the size for it and has shown some flashes doing it but there's not enough tape to be fully confident he could make a full time transition to that role. I like him and he can be a good fit for our offence but he's not quite the fit I think we're looking for. I strongly suspect someone like Pickens will be the type of WR the Packers will target. Anyway I did a 4 round fanspeak mock and decided to mix it up a little so I picked Travis Jones at 22 (oh noes another Jones! Yuck!). Is that too early? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different comp: A smaller version DK - who came out of college not renowned for his route running, smarts etc - more of a physical specimen - who's game has rounded out at the next level. I think Burks has the physicality to make things happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I was thinking about the basketball analogy the Packers said about their WRs. If Lazard is the power forward then wouldn't they be looking for their point guard? in other words smaller, faster, shiftier? Olave and Dotson for example? That would rule out Burks, Watson, London, Pickens if we take their word at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
