cannondale Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 If we gathered up all the WRs taller than 6' who weigh more than 195lbs for a group photo, but shot them instead, Gute would then take a short skinny guy right ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you also gathering up TEs? Because he could just covert them… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWood21 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 43 minutes ago, Chili said: 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. Wouldn't that be Amari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burks has the physicality to make things happen. I like Burks, but I think the comparison is more with Alshon Jeffrey or Alquon Boldin. Power guys who don't have DK's speed.

Scoremore Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 It wouldn't surprise me if Cine is the pick at #22. He's be perfect in the Packers D. Top Edge guys will probably be gone. WR's might be as well. I'll bet Cine is rated pretty damn high on the Packers board. Fast as hell and likes to hit. Don't think the Packers will trade up from #22. If they did it would have to be for a top guy like Hamilton or Thibodeaux. Some inexplicable top talent that slides. Don't think it would be for a WR. Think at #28 they might stand pat and take a highly rated WR like Pickens which would make Leader very happy. Cine and Pickens yah think I'd like that just fine.

craig Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Heh heh, I think I've now been trained that everybody is bad. All the WR are WR which is bad positional value, plus not only are they WR but they are also either too skinny (Olave) or too small (Dotson) or too dumb (Burks) or too stiff or too old (Watson). Karl is too stiff. Davis is too slow and just a 2-down local-area body. Penning is too penalty-oriented and lacks nuance. Everybody is going to be disappointing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I interest you in a nice Alec Pierce? Not skinny as he is over 200 lbs, not small standing at 6’3”, not too dumb as he is an engineering major, not old as he is 21. I’m sure some might say he is stiff though… but he grew up a a packers fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I can't be the only one amused by the "GB needs to trade up for a WR" narrative when a couple days ago these same talking heads were pushing the idea that all of these WR's are flawed and project to WR2 at the next level.

I'm amused by all the different thoughts/ideas on who the Packers will or will not be drafting and what pick/round. There's NO doubt Gute will have a trick or two up his sleeve. The draft can't come soon enough .. let the peeing and moaning and clapping and yelling begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being perennially disappointed in who we draft is a tale as old as time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stability/anger personality score? a0 + a1/2 + a2/3 + ... + an n + 1 =WR to be drafted by the Packers 😄 After the physical boxes are checked I would guess workplace fit plays a part. Stable, team first guys in the perfect world. Edited April 27, 2022 by R T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
