Is this a Round Two Target?

WR Courtland Sutton - The Next Julio Jones - Ultimate 2016-17 SMU Highlights (HD)

I don’t think he’ll make it out of the top 20

There’s a lot of debate about if he or Ridley should be the first WR taken

Sutton is a fucking sloth, a poor man's TO. A prima donna in the making - not that I detest prima donnas (they're exciting). Packers have more than enough possession receivers on their roster already. Pack need a speed fiend.

Now plenty of speed fiends failed in the NFL b/c they couldn't run routes worth a lick. Ridley, however, is an excellent route runner. He timed fast, but he plays even faster. In short, Ridley's a faster Greg Jennings, a rich man's Jennings, if you will.

A guy I like a lot as a player, but has a 10 cent head and character issues is Holton Hill, CB, Texas.

Guy can play, good size... failed multiple drug tests.

Poor man's Mike McKenzie.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I kind of like him the best, but the guys on the NFLN said he was pretty unpolished. He had some inaccuracies and flutters in his workout at the combine. Highest ceiling I think.

I still think there's a good chance the Packers draft a QB, because someone like Jackson drops due to 'issues.' I see some mocks have him dropping all the way to Jacksonville. Most think there's zero chance Packers draft a QB because of too many holes elsewhere - I get that - but you never know who slips in the Green room...

I dunno 'bout you or Nutz or Partial or Tex, but I like my beer cold, my women hot, my corners dark and my QBs pale.

Don’t we already have Janice for speed?

A lot of the bigger, press CBs are going to go in the middle rounds. Kevin Toliver, Isaac Yiadom, Holton Hill, Brandon Facyson, Tarvarus McFadden, Tony Brown (projecting because I didn't see him in press a lot), Quenton Meeks (mostly played off coverage in the videos that I watched). That may be where the Packers strike - even if they take a corner in the first two rounds. There do seem to be quite a few bigger, press corners in this draft than I remember in recent drafts, so that may bold well.

I agree.

Does Pettine play press coverage?

Prodigious defenses

Pettine enjoyed an impressive four-year stint as the New York Jets’ defensive coordinator under Rex Ryan from 2009-12. He has utilized a 3-4 scheme in the past built around blitzing and press-man coverage.

OK then.

[Maxie the Taxi]

OK then.

This from Total Packers:

And here’s the thing. The Packers’ new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine likes his corners to play press-man coverage. You need corners that are strong and physical to do that. I’m going to guess Hawkins is pretty strong right now.

I wish. Janis is still a free agent. Even if he returns, McCarthy will still be too stupid to figure out a way to utilize Janis offensively. With Ridley, Fat Mike could utilize the speed fiend in the same manner that he once did with Jennings.
