cannondale Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Claypool is a head case - or at least immature. They even called him out in the media guide a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Rudderless, direction-less franchise right now. Aaron Rodgers is too valuable to sell for draft picks, draft picks are too valuable to sell to help Aaron Rodgers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While ignoring the other ways that those said rivals GM's work the Salary Cap, & FA and Trade markets that Green Bay is allergic to 4 out of every 5 years. The conversation was about draft hit rate, not utilization of all tools. But also, Gute has used FA all five seasons to variable success: -Wilkerson, Graham, Williams, Lewis in '18 -Amos, Smith x 2, Turner in '19 (unsurprisingly, he had the most cap room this year) -Wagner and Kirksey in '20 -Campbell and Kelly in '21 (plus Douglas and Mercilus during the season) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they had their direction picked. It was just the wrong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has hit on big money FA signings, has hit on bargain FA signings and has a solid draft record. With that being said, I really don't understand the strategy moving forward. We should of done 2 things: 1. If you're gonna sign an older QB to a 50m+/yr extension, then we need to go all in. If reports are true that we offered Adams more then Vegas and he declined, we should have used the money we would of given him and traded a 5th for Amari. Our biggest hole would have been filled and we would have still had money left over to sign Campbell and Douglas. We'd also have more flexibility in the draft. 2. Traded Adams and Rodgers for multiple 1st rounds picks and other draft capital. We would've been loaded for the future and primed for a quick rebuild like the Eagles did. We would have a season to find out if Love is the QB of the future or not. If he isn't, then we have a high draft pick to use on a strong QB class and salary cap to go all in while our QB is on a rookie contract. Instead, now we're stuck in a weird middle ground where our cap is hamstrung by our aging QB and we're not serious contenders because we have the worst set of weapons in the league. Gute's inability to make the tough decision when the writing was on the wall is what separates good GMs from great GMs This. Just do one or the other. Don't try to find the best of both worlds when that really isn't feasible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Think the next trade to drop is going to be Cooks. Guessing either the Rams or maybe the Cowboys. Sleeper option is the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdpackfan22 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I hope the Bakh situation is a fair warning to our FO in the future of giving out big 3rd contracts. It's better to get rid of a player a year early then a year late. BB was great at that and one of the main reason's the Patriots dynasty lasted as long as it did. Imagine those 2020 and 2021 teams with 20m+ of player contributing and along with draft capital from either a trade or 3rd round comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Trade my heart wants: GB to get Jeudy or another WR still on his rookie deal. Trade my head wants: GB to trade Savage for a draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care who for or what position If I do any more Mocks, I'm doing that. I'm either trading that pick, or just putting down (Player to ride the bench and do nothing).
