2018 Packers First Round Pick Jaire Alexander

[Zool]

Ha, I got called a moron before last draft for saying I loved Cook. Now Woody is a genius?

I loved Cook too. I think you were just called a moron for other reasons.

Woodbov clmored for that now-Vikes RB Dalvin Cook in the 2nd round last year. I'm gaining some grudging respect for his scouting acumen, though his writing still needs lots of help from Mae.

True enough. He clearly spends a lot of time on this. There was a post of his about 8000 words long somewhere where he made the point that the Packers may have gotten scooped when they moved up in the third looking for Arden Key - taken by the Raiders. Just speculation, but interesting just the same.

Prior to the Packers running the table, they were in play for Leonard Fournette. You were like, fuck Fournette, take Cook; who cares that Fournette is a good normal American while Cook abuses bitches, chicks and female dogs alike?

That was moronic, indeed.

Seeing as you are the local SME on morons, we will take your word for it.

Now, like Nutz, my short-term memory ain't as hardy as it was in my glorious youth. Could be CTE - I was a shutdown corner in HS, after all. Could the aftereffect of excessive exposures to aphrodisiacal vids and/or Mary Jane. Could simply be Father Time fucking with me (sometimes in my solitude, I ponder whether it is nobler to die young and robust, or grow gray and impotent). But my long-term memory remains hardy.

Pretty sure Zool was a hater of Fournette and a lover of Cook.

Well that's fair.

I still think Cook will have a better career. I'll admit I didn't see Fournette doing as well as he did. He's fast as hell for a guy his size.

Fournette has the size and durability to be a 30-carry/gm back. Small backs like Cook needs to share the rock with other backs, or he'll get pounded into the abyss of oblivion. The math favors Fournette having a better career than Cook, stat-wise.

Based on what?

[pbmax]

^ I dunno. Unless you are James Stewart, the NFL burns out a lotta big backs. Purple Jesus is about as big as you can get and survive. If you are Lacy sized, NFL coaches just run you into walls.

2017.

[Zool]

2017.

Well with that as your backing, who can even argue?

[smuggler]

If the injury is any indication, I'm inclined to agree with APB.

James Stewart always seemed kind tall & thin to me.
