Good points. Versatility is a big, big thing now in Green Bay, and this kid's got it.
To me, after watching Guter's presser, it would seem
The fumbler part I remember. I don't remember the part about average vision.
Good point above about how the backs now are more interchangeable.
That's not the summary, that's the full report. My earlier post is the TLDR summary.
sharpe1027 04-27-2024, 09:23 AMSaid a lot of people about Ahman Green. He turned out alright.
King Friday 04-27-2024, 09:23 AMI think this pick was far more about the kid being similar to Jacobs. The Packers like to substitute their backs extensively. The vast difference between
King Friday 04-27-2024, 09:22 AMReally nice summary Fritz. Good reminder that Kiper, PFF and Magazines aren't NFL GM's for a reason. Not to mention that GM's that go all in (see Dikta
Spaulding 04-27-2024, 09:10 AMI believe this is a solid pick because of two reasons. First, this kid was not a 5 star recruit coming out of high school, yet he went to Georgia and
King Friday 04-27-2024, 09:06 AMYou could be right. But the way Guter put it was that he was afraid he wasn't going to get his guys, so he wanted to move up, but his scouts pushed back
Fritz 04-27-2024, 09:00 AMGuessing several teams had Payton Wilson crossed off their list due to medical.
Bretsky 04-27-2024, 08:52 AMOh for sure, Joe. I watched Guter's presser, and it reminded me that this guy knows all these players thoroughly, whereas my information is gleaned from
Fritz 04-27-2024, 08:50 AMTy'Ron must have freakishly long arms as he seems to be the Webster definition of reach.
Spaulding 04-27-2024, 08:49 AMHonestly though, I'd take Cooper, the Geogia S, and the two extra picks.
Bretsky 04-27-2024, 08:49 AMI listed to what Gute said too; but GM's will make contingent deals. We'll never know. He could have said if player X was not there, we will do the
Bretsky 04-27-2024, 08:48 AM34 inch arms on a 6’2” guy is crazy. Combine that with speed to get sideline to sideline, and he could become a monster if he puts it together between
King Friday 04-27-2024, 08:47 AMWell, if you watch Guter's presser, you'd surely think so. He did say the trade back was in the works "a couple of picks" before the Iggles
Fritz 04-27-2024, 08:47 AMWell, as I wrote elswewhere, I watched Guter's presser. He kept talking about this guy being fast, and being able to hit. This really was just his guy
Fritz 04-27-2024, 08:44 AMAnd I don't doubt the Packers will add another body or two to that room today.
Fritz 04-27-2024, 08:42 AMWell, Sharpe, I decided to take fifteen minutes out of my life to watch Guter's presser after last night's picks, and I have come around to your point
Fritz 04-27-2024, 08:38 AMI did some research on this guy for our draft contest. He fits when GB is lookign for. But I honestly thought he was a round 5 guy....maybe at best
