Packers Big Board #9

I went Hughes but this is really the beginning of the "please find a trade down partner" part of the 1st for me.

I had Vea quite high on my board before the Wilkerson signing, but now he's off my board; we'd have a logjam on the DL and have to sacrifice a good player for a possible, marginal upgrade. At least Nelson would fill some sort of need and upgrades pretty considerably. Vea is not un-draftable, he'll just get taken a lot earlier than I would spend a pick on.

And no, lol he most certainly would not "eat Nelson alive." He may win some reps on Nelson but they would mostly be hard-fought wins.

Yeah I see Vea like I see Barkley(perhaps a controversial take), we don't need to overload a position like that.

Why do people like LVE over Roquan?

Roquan is a smaller, strict ILB who was good athlete. LVE is an oversized hybrid ILB/OLB who was an elite athlete. They shouldn't be close.

[Jaegybomb]

Roquan is the more athletic of the 2 right?

I don't think they're THAT far apart athlete wise, LVE just has that size advantage ontop of it

Roquan ran a 4.51 to LVE's 4.65, had a ton more sacks and tackles for loss too.

Leighton was in the 99.7th percentile for Combine results for a LB, they are very far apart. Smith had a good 40, downright mediocre jumps and never did agility testing.

Let's ignore the size difference, the huge difference in jumps too. Jamaal Williams had a better 40 than Clay so he's the better athlete right? They're about as different in weight as LVE and Smith.

You just said he was bigger AND faster.

Faster =/ better athlete.

[Jaegybomb]

Jamaal Williams and Clay's 40 times are actually a lot closer

I said better athlete. Nothing about speed.

[Jaegybomb]

It's a pretty ambiguous term.

Not really when you're talking about football and not sprinters.
