Marcus Davenport looks interesting.

I looked at him a bit... crossed him off my list.

Don't think he's quick enough.

[wist43]

Did you say that after Davante's second season?

Everyone was disappointed with Adams after his 2nd season... he was awful.

Difference between Adams and Spriggs is that Adams at least showed some upside in his 1st 2 years, while Spriggs has been awful every single day he's been a Packer.

Packers must draft this guy based on name alone.

Daniel Jeremiah
Just finished studying ND WR Equanimeous St Brown...very interesting player. Creates consistent separation but the ball placement is deplorable. He's got quickness at the top of his route and his ability to adjust is outstanding. I put a big grade on him.

Yeah, I think I read something about this kid. Looks rail thin but slippery and runs couple of routes and has ok hands. Probably would get eaten up by press-man, looks like he has a big catch radius...not sure he's explosive/dynamic. The combine will be big for him. What is he a R2-R3 pick?
Put him and Micheal Clark on the field and you have wideouts bigger than everyone but maybe Tampa Bay.

This is why I stay reservedly on the sidelines regarding draft possibilities. It is exactly how I bet the ponies when the wife drags me to Arlington Race Track. And I suck at it.

Is that like picking a wine based on the label?

ESB is an intriguing prospect. I'll be interested in how he looks at the combine.

How else are you supposed to pick out a wine?

Just the name. Forget the label. I need new Thread Name inspiration.

Anybody else feel Darnold is overrated? There are comparisons to Andrew Luck. I don't see it at all. I think Josh Rosen looks like the best QB, but there seem to be character concerns with him. Not really "face of the franchise" material. Lamar Jackson has longevity concerns. Mayfield is a talent, but he has off the field concerns (although his leadership has been praised) and he's short. Josh Allen has the most talent in the group, but most think he'll end up being the biggest bust. I have a feeling he's going to kill the combine, do well in his interviews, and somebody will fall in love with him. His talent might be worth the risk.

1. Denver Broncos (from CLE)

" Sam Darnold, QB, USC. If the Broncos can't land Kirk Cousins in free agency, and they're not satisfied going into the season with any of the other free agents, they'll have a problem on their hands: who starts at QB? Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch have proven to not be the answer. If they get to the draft with nothing but a low-cost stopgap in place, I can definitely see John Elway pulling the trigger on a deal to move up for his No. 1 target. Is that Darnold? Impossible to say at this point, but if it is, there seems little chance he lasts to No. 5."

NO. 14 and a Trade Up to Position 9:

9. Green Bay Packers (from SF)

Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa. " The Packers aren't typically a team that goes trading up and down the draft, but the wild card is new general manager Brian Gutekunst. While he's likely to continue the same conservative traditions after rising through the ranks in Green Bay, it's impossible to know for sure whether he'll be more open to wheeling and dealing. After spending a long time as the team's director of college scouting, expecting him to take the risk for the right prospect makes some amount of sense. Jackson could be the guy that's worth it as the top true cornerback prospect in this year's draft."

He goes at NO. 20 to the NE Patriots in this Mock.

He appears stiff to me but a gamer 'lunch box' sort of player.

It takes OL longer to develop. I hate spriggs, he is awful, but he could still be a player. Many an OL the packers gave up on went on to long careers.

I really doubt that he is there when we pick, although he reminds me of antonio cromartie coming out. Cromartie was a slam dunk top 10 pick except for injury. James played all of 2017 and got better as he gained confidence in his health. Guy will not be around at our pick, but if he is .... whoa nelly!!

That's true... I think the shock is just how bad Spriggs has been.

In college he looked like a guy with some skills and upside, but since drafting him he has been worse than terrible.

Your doubt just fuels SPRIGGS™ offseason.
