Every team and every GM is faced with the neverending need to fill holes and patch problems. We needed (and need) to continually infuse our team with new young TOP offensive talent - in an offensive league. Dont have to draft three guys in one year - but one a draft would be nice - and I dont mean bottom feeders / developmental projects only. Players. Frankly, I'm not so sure how good they are at it.

Like I said a lot of holes. They prob should of kept Jordy and Cobb when they wanted to come back cheap and instead of 3 picks late go for a WR is the 2nd or 3rd where we have been successful. They didn't but WRs are not why we have not been back to a super bowl so at the end of the day I'm fine with them making other positions of need a higher priority. I don't think they will be doing that moving forward though. also, Collinsworth is a blow hard. fkk him Edited March 18, 2022 by Toddfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Packers now have the 53rd pick in the draft. 8 years ago, Davante Adams was the 53rd pick in the draft. Time to get back to drafting WR's in the 2nd round. It's meant to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just can't be counted on .. neither can OBJ either. Here's the thing. The older you get, the more those nagging injuries start to crop up. I hope Davante balls out...he's not in the NFC and I've never had any issues with the Raiders. I just think GB made the right call by cashing out now regarding him. The timing of it is whats weird with them going all-in with Rodgers for another year or 2. Gotta see how they address the WR room from here on out before fully judging. Every year since becoming GM, Gute has zeroed in on a specific position group to completely overhaul. CB in 2018, EDGE in 2019. I'm expecting this offseason to be WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then - when one of the really good one hits that major contract - we've got the depth behind him to (either) pay him - or do what happened just now - trade him - cash in - and rely on what's been running around AND PRODUCING all their rookie contracts. Then draft some more. Rinse & repeat. Rinse & repeat. Dont let the WR position become just one guy and a bunch of "okay guys" - but nothing that's gonna put you over the top.

Then chastises Green Bay for trading the leagues best away. According to his first statement, shouldn't it be easy to find guys to fill in then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'd like to have MVS back because they sorely need his speed/deep threat ability...but he's not the type of WR to get into a bidding war with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point in theory and like I stated, I think this is the next position that will get an influx of early draft talent and a vet or two. I also know we will hopefully have a red zone target like Tonyan back. We still have Aaron jones. We have talent to move the ball around and be successful. I also have not given up on Amari. Not implying you have either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravedigger93 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 For me this is the best trade the Packers have ever done, at least in the days I remember: Packers lost: - Probably the best WR in all of Football right now - Absolutely nothing else Packers gained: - Not paying a 30 yrs old WR $30M a year and thus need to cut more players to be able to do so - Probably getting Rasul back and have an amazing Nickel Package with Alexander, Stokes and Douglas - Having some more Cap Space to eventually sign TE Tonyan to a Prove-it Deal and also sign a Veteran WR like JuJu (I absolutely don't want to sign Jones, OBJ or Landry, though, washed) - Getting another 1st and 2nd Round Pick in this year's Draft, which is loaded in WR talent in the first 3 rounds - Having the opportunity to use one of the acquired Draft picks to send them to SEA for DK Metcalf (with or without Love) Overall: We lost one big piece at WR, but now we're able to bring the gang back with more cash, 2 premium Draft Picks and less Cap trouble upcoming. I have only love for this trade, even if I have to admit that I will miss Tea. But that trade for me just looks like a masterpiece. Thanks, Gute. firegute.com will get a 404 error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knee jerk is to say "I agree"....but is putting money towards MVS worse than putting it towards JuJu? I honestly cant say cause I cant gauge JuJu's impact....but I've seen MVS for a few years now.....and while he's made strides - confidence that he could be "the all around guy" is lacking.
