pgwingman Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I didn't see this thread started yet, but I figured with the Combine this week we could start a "Packers met with" thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Some people get annoyed with these because they say we meet with everyone or whatever, but they've shown to be useful in many cases in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 30 visits are important, they meet with just about everyone at the Combine and all-star games. Those really aren't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was going to say with so many late picks this is as much about doing some extra scouting on the longer shots with upside than it is the premier guys. For the consensus top 50-100 guys there is already a lot of info and connections from the top schools etc. This is a good way to see how the next Karl Brooks is wired and if you think it’s worth the shot vs. getting your 1st rounder squared away. *I forgot we had Kadeem Telfort from UAB. He’s a massive human and we just picked up his former coach as our assistant OLine coach. Will be interesting to see what’s cooking there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember wanting to draft Telfort late, just to be sure that we got a look. At least on the surface, he seems like a Yosh clone. And if he can become what Yosh did, we get a good player for minimal monetary investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between him and Caleb Jones, who’s in his own category of massive, we have some giants to replace Yosh who was a worthy project. Nijman had some pretty good feet and athleticism for such a big guy, I don’t know if he has the quick fire off the line and demeanor to be great but I hope he finds a spot somewhere. We are back to the drawing board and I appreciate the OL factory we have been developing. I hope to get an infusion of some quality talent there through the draft and keep building our young guys up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hard to know what the team has seen from these guys, and what management thinks. Ready, just waiting for some opportunity? Or too stiff and slow to ever be more than emergency fill-in? I have no clue what Gute thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the old “God only created so many humans of that size” philosophy. You take a few lottery tickets there and respect the developmental side of your program. If you can turn one of those giants into even a solid depth piece, it’s a win. If you get a late round starter on the line, it’s a home run.
