Gutes going to have to explain if going LB how you don't go with Payton Wilson over Hopper at this point in the draft, despite the injury history

 

I think it’s as simple as you wouldn’t want Payton Wilson on special teams. It’s not a great reason. I don’t like it. But that’s the reason. Gute decidedly wanted a special teams linebacker. I don’t think it’s a good use of resources. 
 

(also PFF says that in 800+ coverage snaps, he’s given up only 1 TD - again, I don’t think Oren Burks 2.0 is a good investment)

The Packers have thresholds for a number of things, one of them I suspect is "ACLs- At least two."

Ruins my 10 yard split theory after 14 in a row but I've learned well from outpost and I'll just put an asterisk next to it, change the goalposts to top two rounds, and shout twice as loud about how I'm still right.

To the people claiming he's only a ST pick... the dude can play ball. 2x 2nd team all SEC, athletic, sideline to sideline player.

Sure it was a bit of a reach but this roster desperately needed some LBers.

New scheme will definitely require more and more from the ILBs. Guys who can tackle and cover and do it in a hurry. Hope we find the guys that fit 5he profile.

I always like to fall back on the “exception that proves the rule” in my double down.
