I must've been watching a sh*tty highlight video because he looks so much better there and you see more of his speed and receiving skills. He's still not blazing fast but his quick enough.

He's running routes Jones never sniffed. He looks like a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Older RB is of little concern. Use up the rookie contract then replace with another draft pick. Rb 2nd contracts aren't great investment in most cases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the joke lol I fully admit I never watch all the prospects before the draft. I had never heard of Reed before we took him. But then after watching him he became my favorite WR in the draft. Then @Packerraymond made snarky comments about me just liking him because we drafted him. Which I then pointed out if that were true I'd do that for every player and not just one. Reed absolutely blew me away the second I watched him and I was very vocal about it at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, there is that element here on this forum. I'm simultaneously confident that: (1) I don't have as much information as any NFL GM (2) If I did, I'd be better than at least 1 (probably more) of them at their job.

Jayden Reed was my favorite receiver in last year's draft but I assumed he was below GB's size thresholds and that he wasn't even on their radar. I was both shocked and pumped when they took him. I'm usually not that great with receivers, either, so I'm glad I got one right for once lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I'm not a fan of Shipley even though he shows some good stuff. He's a try hard RB who doesn't know how to avoid hits. I don't like the way he moves. I don't like the fact he looks like he has a WR type body playing at RB. He does have some nice wiggle at times but is more of a quick, direct runner. Useful as a receiver. Don't think much of him running between the tackles but shows good stuff bouncing outside. I don't think he improves our rushing attack tbh.

Wait you mean we shouldn't be in awe of these geniuses that keep the bottom 10 teams in the league in perpetual roster hell? You're trying to tell me you wouldn't pass on 2 firsts for Brian Burns to trade him for a 2nd less than a year later!? Some folks live in 1975 when the college games weren't on TV, the Combine was a private event, all 22 was the number of channels the lucky kid got with his antenna, and the draft itself was something you read a paragraph about in the paper. Yeah at that point in time a fan couldn't get close to having accurate opinions on players. Today? We have so much access, and some of us still have contacts that get us more than the common person. We'll never get medical or interview abilities and every take comes with an asterisk that it could greatly alter an eval to have that info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
