Packerraymond Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 23 hours ago, ThatJerkDave said: I don't know what you guys think, but Jahmyr Gibbs is legit. He is averaging 5.2 ypc with 5 TDs and has over 500 yards while splitting time. He is also Detroit's 5th leading receiver. Add to that, he has the speed to draw extra attention of the defense opening things up for other players. And Jack Campbell has been in the very least, solid. I don't see a glaring miss between the Campbell and LaPorta picks that they will be regretting for years. I bet they are pretty content with their return on their draft. What would their record be with Williams and Swift? Probably 8-3. Maybe better had they taken Christian Gonzalez like they should've. I don't think anyone ever doubted Gibbs was going to be really fun, but the Lions had Swift already, and he's proven to be quite capable too. Should've taken a DB.

Besides, when you look at that draft, just about every team in the top half of the first round should be regretting their pick - there were like 5 slam dunk "wow" guys (Mario Williams, Ngata, Hali, Mangold if you don't mind him being a C, Vernon Davis probably) a handful of solid ones, and a lot of disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift seems to be a player who needed a change....he was fine with the Lions but not what he is on Phi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Swift seemed to be in Campbell's doghouse for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have some connection with the Packers other than this forum? Surely you don't believe your opinions on Love on a Packers fan forum served some sort of importance in Love's development.

Because that’s the 4th most important aspect to any Super Bowl win. NFL wanting it to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of the 4 guys they took in RD1/RD2 are already core players, two on each side of the ball. If that's malpractice, I don't think that word means what I think it means. Man I couldn't disagree more on this. Picking Gibbs and Campbell over keeping Swift/Rodriguez, and drafting Carter and another pass rusher is as close malpractice as you get.

Not sure there was much to prevent moving off Swift. Montgomery was the replacement for Williams and Montgomery is the far superior RB.

If Detroit had a pass rush to go with Aiden right now, they'd be a scary team...Gibbs and Campbell don't remotely move the needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he had gone to AFC though on a bad team rather than to the friggin Eagles. So gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
