It's not some holy grail that dictates what a player is capable of at the NFL level. A 40 time might preclude a player from a specific role in the NFL, but it will NEVER "confirm" what a player CAN do at the NFL level. Example.... Oh he runs a 4.3... so he can definitely be a deep threat in the NFL. I ran a 4.4 and I never came close to being a deep threat in the NFL.

Reaper Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I am/have been intrigued by Mathews if his surgery fixes what has essentially ailed him for nearly two seasons this guy is legit. A big target who can get open for Rodgers. As for Reid I think he is Burnett 2.0 could be wrong but it seems like they do a lot of the same things. I guess he may be more durable Im on the fence with that one. The name I wonder about is E.J. Gaines whats the deal does he want to much money etc. Seems like an upgrade at this point. Start King, Gains in the slot and Tramon outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy Nelson is pretty much the prime example of a player who doesn't care about living in or playing in a small town/area. Read the personal life section of Nelson's wikipedia page and tell me that's not the type of player that would be fine with playing in some 100,000 population midwest town.

I have seen both Jordy Nelson and Jordan Matthews run in college. Jordy was a lot faster than Jordan Matthews. I would be surprised if Matthews can keep up with him even now. Here is the comparison, looks like Matthews is actually the better athlete(Please note I said athlete and not receiver) Jordy Nelson: 6’2 5/8", 217lbs, 32.5" arms, 10" hands, 4.51(40), 31"(vertical), 10’3"(broad), 4.35(shuttle), 7.03(3cone) Jordan Matthews: 6’3 1/8", 212lbs, 33.25" arms, 10.38" hands, 4.46(40), 35.5"(vertical), 10’(broad), 4.18(shuttle), 6.95(3cone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm for bringing in anybody who doesn't break the bank and adds legitimate depth to the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells me they arent satisfied with where they are currently at with the position and mean to address it. I thought I heard this isn't the deepest WR draft class either.

It’s all about football.” “Wilkerson said reuniting with Pettine was “key” in his decision. Also important was the chance to play for a contender, something he hasn’t experienced since early in his career.” “When I went on my visit,” Wilkerson said, “walking around the facility, it just brought a different energy in me.” Haha. This is what one calls a...mic drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not particularly top heavy by any means, but there's solid depth in the middle rounds. The only WR that I might have a Day 1 grade on is Calvin Ridley.

Norm Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If we're signing Matthews because of his slot prowess, we are morons. I think he was forced there more than maybe he should have been. I'm guessing they think he can play outside here or why bother with Cobb in house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy also was better in the slot. Other thing to note is that while we dont need a slot this year, we will next year when Cobb's contract is up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
