Gutes and Ball are smokin' Cubans and drinkin' fine bourbon to celebrate pulling off the public perception that they would give out that contract. They hit the agent with the old 'if I could, would ya' after Adams mind was already made up to leave and the agent was glad to fan the flames of the facade.

I think it varies per team if you're asking about NFL "quality" WRs. For instance, I was around when people here were trying to convince me Geronimo Allison could be our No. 2 WR in 2018. Fast forward two years and the guy was virtually out of football. I suspect we'll see something similar happen with Lazard in a few years. MVS will hang around because of his speed and the role he can play as a Ted Ginn type. Gute has made a lot of good moves as a GM. Finding/signing quality talent at WR isn't one of them.

packfanfb Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 19 minutes ago, R T said: There are only so many roster spots and the Packers are only carrying 5 WR's, 6 tops. Whether you want to count them as 1.5 or not they are 3 roster spots and Amari Rodgers isn't going anywhere, so that is 4. The 5th and if there is a 6th, they will need to excel on ST's, you can bet the new ST's coach will have a say in who those guys are. From a roster construction standpoint, a team really only has room for one old washed up, injury prone WR who doesn't play any ST and the Packers are locked into Cobb as that guy. So it feels like you are top heavy with guy who can only play from scrimmage and that is probably not realistic. This is fair. I don't think the Mock necessarily comes to fruition. It's what I would do given the current resources presented. We're in an offensive arms race with Tampa and LA and I think we need a lot of help there. Guys like Cobb and Lazard don't move the needle for me other than backend roster players, with, like you said, no ST upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I like the draft. I think you are short changing the FA contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build up the front 7, primarily on the DL, and then win through superior defense with a good offense. Both the LAR and TB offensive lines took hits so you can counter the WR escalation by just getting in Stafford and Brady's faces immediately.

At the very least, we'll have the 3-headed monster at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Is it really that big of a stretch to think we'll get 1-2 FA WR and a high draft pick at WR? I get we don't address WR often, but the chicken has came home to roost with the Adams trade, we need vets and a young guy to develop for the future, I don't mind us going heavy at WR. We already have a good defense, why not begin restocking the room now? Edited March 19, 2022 by Gopackgonerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Lazard isn't randomly cut, you then have 3 slots to fill and you'll need at least one of those to play ST since Cobb and Rodgers will only be returners and Lazard only played 5 percent of the special teams snaps last season. Honestly, three draft picks make a lot more sense than any free agents. Not saying that I agree with that but it's where they are because they've kind of painted themselves into a corner with Cobb Edited March 19, 2022 by Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Vince Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Great mock but I think they'll draft at least 2 receivers, and I think they should spend an earlier pick at ILB even with Campbell back on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have one last window to win a SB we kinda need at least an established guy, doesn't even have to be Julio. I think Lazard would be willing to play ST's too if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 3 of those teams suck, but you have McLaurin, Golladay (when healthy) as upper tier guys, Smith appears to be decent after one year, Toney and Reagor probably rank as incomplete, Shepherd is average-good as is Humphries, bottom tier/fringe guys would be Sims and Watkins, but frankly haven't watched much of either guy. Dallas, a better team, has Lamb and Gallup, a solid 1-2 combo and just signed James Washington, a decent 3 guy. If you want to go to the next division just do the good teams and we can compare to our group. Frankly none of us should care about non contenders because those aren't the teams we'll see in January.
