I read where people “think” he will stay but haven’t seen it stated for sure. January 15th is the day they have to declare by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I still don't get it for Ferrell. Bryant makes sense to a degree because I would even like to see him without Ferrell around. If he continues to be productive he could turn himself into a very similar draft position to Ferrell but Ferrell has everything to lose and nothing really to gain.

Talked about how important it was for him to give back to the community. Clearly had great parents. Took absolutely no credit for his on field success, instead praised teammates and coaches. The film had me cool with taking him at 14. The person has me dying to take him at 14, I just hope he lasts that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantyWrestler Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Thoughts... Love Isaiah Oliver in coverage but man he sure hates hitting people or getting hit by them. Carlton Davis seems to have it all. Good I’m coverage and is great in run support too. Need to watch more film on both these guys to see a trend.

Smooth athlete, good length, plus ball skills. I'm meh on Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I know i'm late to the party but what do you make of the fact that we apparently knew King had a lingering shoulder injury since college and yet still drafted him. I thought we passed on Foster because of his shoulder injury. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. That was the 2nd draft in a row that we passed on a top 10 linebacker talent. I've been pounding the table for a top linebacker for a while. We passed on Watt and Foster, the year before we passed on Jack and Deion Jones, before that McKinney and Kendricks, and before that Bucannon. I've seen the impact of what good linebackers can do for other teams, they are leaders, they set the tone, they make defences tough. Having a guy like that can be incredibily valuable. I'm amazed that the Packers dont seem to think of that position very highly. Matthews was drafted in 2009 and his impact was undeniable. How did that not give the Packers the confidence to draft another linebacker like that? Drafting a linebacker in the first two rounds: Hawk (2006) >>>> 3 years later Matthews >>>> 3 years later Perry >>>> 6 years and counting We got away with Martinez and getting Peppers in free agency but the neglect at that position has been borderline criminal. We haven't drafted an inside linebacker within the first two rounds for 12 years! 12 years....damn..... Hopefully all that will change with Gute.

PackFan4Life Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Had to check out the hype of Fanspeak 2018 lol. I think our QB would love me: 1. EDGE Arden Key 2. WR Deontay Burnett 3. NT Vita Vea 3. TE Dallas Goedery 4. TE Mike Gesicki 5. WR Equa St Brown 5. LB Jack Cichy 5. S Dominick Sanders 5. RB Justin Jackson 6. WR Daesean Hamilton 7. CB Tony Brown 7.

I thought we passed on Foster because of his shoulder injury. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. That was the 2nd draft in a row that we passed on a top 10 linebacker talent. Honestly, I wouldn't read too much into it. The Packers had the opportunity to take Foster AND King at 29 and opted to trade down to 33. To me, that indicates that they had a slew of players who were similarly graded (presumably King, Foster, and Watt were all in that group) and that the extra 4th round pick was worth more than picking their "preference". After they traded down, the Niners took Foster at 31 after trading up with the Seahawks. My guess is the Niners felt either the Saints would take Foster or the Packers would take him. They didn't have the option to take Foster after the trade down. 20 minutes ago, Chili said: I've been pounding the table for a top linebacker for a while. We passed on Watt and Foster, the year before we passed on Jack and Deion Jones, before that McKinney and Kendricks, and before that Bucannon. And look who the Packers took instead of taking those players. Last year, we passed on Watt and Foster because traded down. Is Kevin King and a 4th round pick worth more or less than Watt/Foster? In 2016, we took Kenny Clark over Myles Jack and Deion Jones. Given the injury concerns of Jack, and the play of Clark I think the Packers made the right choice. In 2015, they took Damarious Randall over Kendrick and McKinney. If Randall is the guy who played in the 2nd half of the season moving forward, this is a no brainer. And I'd easily take HHCD over Bucannon every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. The value of a true FS >>> hybrid LB/S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Tony Brown is going to be a better pro than college player. Really hope we use a 6th on him especially if we miss out on a corner in the first 3-4 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
