DRAFT DAY WISHES FOR ROUND ONE PICK 14

[mraynrand]

A-Rod could use C-Rid right now, especially on 3rd downs.

Nah, Rodgers would be flat on his ass watching him running a fruitless 40 yard go route.

I want some credit given to Fritz (I will only take a portion) that every year Ted had a defensive need draft he piped in that picks that made sense to the public were always the worst picks Ted made.

In retrospect, Ted should have ignored us and the defense from 2011-2016

Jerel Worthy was the alarm bell.

Ridley is Greg Jennings with more speed, and Jennings was the best route runner i’ve ever seen. No way Pack stink up the joint on 3rd downs with C-Rid.

J-Alex has some game, but he ain’t a shutdown corner. Adam Thielen made J-Alex his bitch. And Thielen is pale-skinned.

PBMax's third down twitter source in the other thread pretty much proves this right. At least a significant proportion of problems are coming from marginal line play.

if the Packers were playing small-ball the line wouldn't be an issue. they know the right side isn't good enough but continue to run things as usual. that's unforgivable.

That is the part that is killing me. Small ball has worked in 3 different games against good defenses. It should appear more often in every game.

Especially against 2 high safeties.

I think it's more likely we trade down, than trade up. We have way too many holes to fill.

Very good prediction. I still like Derwin James a ton, but Alexander is making me be good with picking up an extra first.

Of course when I read that i read it as trade down THEN trade up. still you were right...sort of.

Corners that fail to shut down white receivers, especially a white receiver from a minor college program like Minnesota State, are wankers in my book.

J-Alex is a wanker.

Check out Adam Thielen’s recent stats against the Packers. It’s like Randy Fucking Moss is back in purple.

Disagree.
Thielen is a Pro Bowl receiver. He makes a lot of CB's look bad. I'm not sure Alexander shadowed him the entire game, so I don't know if you can put all his stats on Alexander. Cousins wasn't under a lot of pressure, so he was able to carve up the D.
Alexander is pretty good for a rookie. That screen to Diggs he blew up by knocking Thielen into Diggs was pretty good.

He's the best of the recent DB draft picks (Alexander, King, Jackson, Randall, Rollins).

I think J'Xander is fantastic. Great pick, great future until he inevitably gets injured again. My fervent hope is that Gutes will keep pulling in picks like this guy. If he does, we'll compete for the Super Bowl in 2020, APRH (which I don't, not really)
