official day 3 of the draft thread

[Brandon494]

1. Rodger calf is healthier
2. Williams, House(backup), Hawk(backup) and Jones(backup) are gone. Replaced by Hayward, Hyde (Goodman, Randall and Rollins), Bradford, Palmer, Ryan, Dantzler and Francis.
3. Barclay is healthier
4. Raji is back and Pennel gets a year to develop
5. They can again move Matthews outside if one of the five ILBs who will get the reps develops. He can then play anywhere they want him.
6. Their special teams stand a very good chance of improving with the return guy alone, even if nothing else happens with coaching.

Haha Dix, Adams and Rodgers will have had a year under their belt.
Dante Jones should be better going into his 3rd season.
O-line should only get better with all starter returning



.....Oh yea and Rodgers won't have a calf injury limiting his game

7. Sitton (hopefully) is over the foot injury that took away his power. They said it would not heal until off season
8. Linsley and HHCD have a year of experience. Jump from rookie to year two can be big. Adams too.

Basically, this team has lost A.J. Hawk, Tramon Williams and a couple guys who didn't play a heck of a lot last year. No one who is returning should be in a state of possible decline, except perhaps Kuhn. There are a lot of key players who should still be ascending The biggest loss may be House who was the "naturaL" replacement for Williams.

Every year is a new year, but on paper there should be no significant decline in this team, and renewed health plus added experience for Bakhtiari, Linsley, Adams and HHCD should more than make up for losses.

I don't know if Wist is now just trolling or if he believes his bull shit. Regardless, it's tiresome at best. He's not "ignore"-worthy, but Woodbuckian in how I treat his posts; a scan, at best.

This draft is exactly how many of us knew it would play out; lots of "Whodafuk?" Moments, followed by frantic googling, followed by head-scratching, followed by the dawning realization that some kid not touted by Mel Kiper or Lindys might be able to play some ball and that maybe, just maybe, Ted and his scouts might know their fukking business.

Special Teams is going to be better this year. Big letters. The kids in the secondary will ball. I'm not sold on the kid out of Michigan.
I like the full back and the DT. Don't care for the TE. But I'm not paid lots of dough to do this so I'm probably wrong.

We all bitched about how crappy our ST was and so Ted and company decide to address it and some still piss and moan. Sucks to be them. Christ, life is too damn short to get our undies in a bunch about a damn draft. On one large forum - Footballs Future - with fans of all teams most of those guys feel the Packers, NE and Seattle are the top teams in the league, even after our so-called shitty draft.
