Chili Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Just had a thought. Rodgers (38) receiving weapons is Cobb (32), Lewis (38) and potentially Julio Jones (33) if we bring him in. That's unacceptable no matter how you look at it. Have to hope Rodgers will lean strongly on Lazard (26), Tonyan (28), Rodgers (23), Draft WR but we all know how much Rodgers likes HIS guys. I hope Rodgers favoritism doesn't result in us having an aging pedestrian offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenault is a shake and bake physical type of receiver who is very versatile but he does have one major flaw...he's not particularly quick. Rodgers at least has some quickness about him. His RB type body gives him a unique profile which may allow us to move him around like the 49ers does with Deebo. I'm not sure why we never unleashed him last year, at least give him some snaps to help him get comfortable and gain some experience using him in various ways. Because those guys he’s running away from are college dudes and not NFL DB’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very disappointed in his lack of burst. Not throwing in the towel after one season, but if you’re not super fast at that size, you’d better have some twitch and pop to compete with the best. He had a few decent plays but many more where he was invisible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you also don't build your roster based on injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJerkDave Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Amari Rodgers is a destitute man's Randall Cobb. The only thing he is good for is carrying Malik Taylor's luggage to the team plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Looking at recent highlight videos of potential trade candidates: Brandin Cooks: He's still quick to get behind defences, nippy player. Consistently gets open and make catches. You can see how lightweight he is, I don't think he's someone you ask to do some run blocking. Let him run his routes, getting open and providing an outlet for the QB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmAqISMjkQ Devante Parker: Looks absolutely fine with jump balls. Just don't ask him to run. His speed and agility isn't quite what you want in a #1 WR. He's pretty one dimensional if i'm honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPB3wG3jMFU Jerry Jeudy: It's clear he can get open but doesn't look too imaginative after the catch. I thought he had speed but i'm not seeing a huge amount it but he is still quick enough to be effective. He does reminds me of Davante Adams a little. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmeI0z4SlQI Tyler Johnson: Buried down depth chart as #4 WR. With AB gone he was probably hoping for a shot at more playing time but Tampa brought in Gage. He might be someone looking to play elsewhere. Tape shows zero rapport with Brady - possible his route running isn't up to scratch. Seems like his best catches happen on more vertical routes. Not showing much speed or explosiveness. Looks mediocre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeTgmQOD1ugDarius Slayton: One year remaining on his contract so potentially could be available. Decent height and quickness for his size but he is never going to outrun anyone. Good hustle. Fundamentally sound. I think he would actually fit in LaFleur's offence as a #2 WR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZefwVDIyBW8Laviska Shenault: Showing his rookie season highlights which is much better than last season under Urban Meyer. Looks natural on the field, has some wiggle to him, very versatile lining up all over the place and doing different things. He's just too slow for someone considered a "playmaker" like Deebo. He makes up for it with some physicality. I would not be against trading for him at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1hPHM9PKF4Denzel Mims: Only got his rookie season highlights. Big lanky frame, not going to outrun anybody. Capable of plucking the ball out of the air. Reminds me of Devante Parker in his game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu08FcmVlxE Miles Boykin: Very limited highlights. Shows a big frame and some quickness. Was thrown at on deep balls. The potential is there but hasn't amounted to anything in his career. I don't think he's even worth using a low draft pick on him. Just wait for him to be cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlv5MDK7h4M Mecole Hardman: Very unlikely to be traded but he does have 1 year left of his contact. He's quick straight line runner but doesn't have much wiggle at all. He's not really used as a traditional receiver, he's all about screen passes and end arounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0culX9ut1A If I had to rank in order of preference it's probably 1. Brandin Cooks 2. Jerry Jeudy 3. Lavista Shenault 4. Darius Slayton Edited March 26, 2022 by Chili 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Green and Gold goggles syndrome has reached a new low with the Amari Rodgers hype. I have a hard time imagining how he could have looked worse as a rookie, and I actually liked the pick.

The reality is, there are a slew of solid vet WRs that could fit in a 2/3 roll (Landry, Sanders, Fuller, Jones, Green).There are only so many teams in the market for these guys. Every day that goes by, the price tag gets lower. Odds are they'll sign for incentive deals going from 4-8M Edited March 26, 2022 by pacman5252 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
