craig Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 After watching the QB school video, I kinda watched for Kraft. He looks like he's pretty engaged as a blocker. Once or twice, I almost wished he didn't block quite as long so that he could get out as a target more quickly. Think he's going to be pretty useful. If Rhyan doesn't break the 3rd-round curse, Kraft will. Why not both? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit Pack Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Now that we are in the bracket of contenders I wonder if we make a play for Ertz. Eagles and Ravens don't want him and I don't think the Niners do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I must be watching something else because he doesn't pass the eye test to me. Which is absolutely useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally see a massive improvement in the o line. Haven’t seen much from him in particular 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the run stuff either. But, I tend to watch guard play, then RT play. Could be that run blocking from the tackle spot just isn't that flashy, too. Which is why a mauler like Trent Williams gets the accolades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a young player who is getting better. Forget where he ranks and stuff like that. Clearly the kid has improved and looks great for a 7'th round tackle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm watching Walker and you're watching Tom! 😀 There isn't a snowballs chance in hell, he's rated that high in run blocking, or pass blocking tbh.

Mazrimiv Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Am I misinterpreting that ranking, or is PFF essentially saying Walker has been elite in pass protection since early November? If not, what does #3 OT in PBWR actually mean? Edited December 5, 2023 by Mazrimiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Rasheed Walker is playing excellent football for being a backup LT. He's proven we don't need to spend on Yosh and he's OT3 going forward. Next year we will have Bakh and Tom starting with Walker and a round 1-3 rookie as the OTs. Walker deserves some respect for his work post bye, Detroit and LV were rough, but he's stepped up tremendously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL performance has been steadily improving, right along with Love and the offense overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I have to assume Drake has more left in the tank than Robinson. Robinson looks quite washed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) In addition to bringing Drake on the PS the Packers have also claimed CB David Long (3rd round pick) off waivers. This and Kyu Kelly (5th) waiver claims as well as grabbing Rochell (4th) off Carolina's PS all in just over a month after trading Douglas. Gute is really working that CB room. Long and Rochell were both teammates on the Rams. Edited December 6, 2023 by Chili 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
