It’s just S in this scheme. Gotta do both. Keep the QB off. Even more reason to draft DeJean if he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReasonablySober Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 12 minutes ago, Mazrimiv said: Just my latest "wow" moment where I see how different the rankings can be. Jeremiah at NFL.com is someone who I generally feel knows what he is talking about, has OT Suamataia at #121 in his top 150 prospect list released earlier today. Seems like a lot of sites have him in the 30's or 40's, and I occasionally see him going at the end of RD1 in mocks. With the caveat that PFF isn't the be-all, end-all, 283 offensive tackles had a better run grade than Suamataia last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, ironically, is yet another reason he might end up being a Packer. They historically have valued pass blocking rates way more than run grades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, if the Packers did go with Sua, it would be coupled with a trade back, maybe to pick 32 or the early 2nd, so they can get another day 2 pick in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsley is raw as hell, but the traits and freakiness are there, just depends how you mix your tape grade and traits. His tape is on par with Guyton, he's just not as big so he doesn't get the wow factor bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's gonna be a star Yeah, I think he'd take this offense to the next level. Scary good top NFL level offense. We also have to realize he'd most likely have to make it to 25 (unlikely), and we're asking Gute to take a WR in the first round (unlikely). He could even pass on him at 25. I'm hopeful but very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful but very realistic. You know I'm "in" on Hill, right? Regardless of how much it shouldn't happen. I was thinking, the really good thing about taking him in the first.... 1) We've never taken one since Walker. So why not take one when your WR room looked stacked top to bottom. No one would see it coming. The press (and us fans) would lose our minds! 2) All kidding aside...we know the talent and skill set there. But the contract most intrigues me. Seeing as how everyone else is round 2, contracts come earlier. His? 5'th year option, pushes his team control out another year from even guys like Wicks/Reed. I think one could argue it's a year early to be taking WR's....outside of round one, just due to how the contracts will come up. But first round? Different story. Just something interesting that I hadn't considered before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something interesting that I hadn't considered before. That's a great point. I think most look at our WR room and say "we're good there". I think Thomas Jr and Watson out wide would really change how defenses have to play us and opens a lot of stuff underneath and in the running game. Vegas, I know you're on board. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of guys at one position and at a similar age and contract time, is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
