2020 offseason (draft and free agency)

Not sure Sony Michel is what is driving the SB train.

TT used to say big guys are the hardest to find. Gute said during roster cut downs you can usually find legs on cut downs but you can’t really find bigs if they’re not already on your roster.

These are the two GMs I’ve followed most closely and both agree big guys are hard to find.....

If Gute takes a big guy I’ll never complain because I do think there is some football wisdom in prioritizing bigs.

But............

If you draft Gronk, Kittle, Kamara, McCaffrey, Quinten Nelson, Earl Thomas or any number of potential or future HOF players at less sought after positions with a first round pick, you always feel good about it. I don’t believe in hard rules. I believe in leaning toward certain rare positions but don’t reach if it’s not there.

That's counter-intuitive. Gilbert Brown always lost at hide and seek.

Teams that have recently drafted a RB in the first. Patriots and Rams. Teams in last years Owl. Patriots and Rams.

Hey, remember when Cleveland drafted Trent Richardson #3 overall? Good times. He was considered the most productive player in Alcoholics Anonymous Football (AAF), so there is that feather in his cap.

We don't need WR help - Valdez-Scantling is gonna be a star; Don't sell short Kumerow; Allison ain't bad; I still have hope for ESB and Lazard.

.

It’s been 4 games in. Your theory about ‘We Don’t Need WR Help’ has been debunked into the abyss of oblivion.

Maybe the upcoming game VS ‘Merica’s Team without Adams will finally burst your bubble.

The Packers have Adams and Wankers. None of the Wankers would make the Cincinnati Bengals 53.

[texaspackerbacker]

Really? I'd say the jury is still out on that hahahahahaha.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Clark ain’t worth 18 M/yr. he’s not that midget DT in LA, nor is he a in-his-prime Gerald McCoy.

Why folks so down on TWill. Other than getting flagged for personal foul, we haven’t heard much from TWill. That’s a good thing for a nickel corner.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, I'd say the jury is still out on Clark too. He's been hot and cold, with a little too much cold to suit me to receive $18 M/yr.

Wait, didn't the Packers just roll up 422 yards passing against Philly, 66 on the final drive without Adams?

I agree that the talent level at WR needs to improve, but how bad off are they really. They are in a good enough place that they were able to trade away powerhouse punt returner and crossing route maven Tyreek Davis.

There ain't nothing left to debate. After 4 games, this much we know:

MVS is inconsistent. Inconsistent hands. Inconsistent route running.

Sloth is sloth. He'll score once in a blue moon, but, he sucks so bad, he's coverable by any fat defensive tackle out there.

Kumerow is injury prone and arouses nothing the rare times he's out in the rye.

Lazard: Ruvall Martin clone.

Shepherd: Queens, Kittens and Bares fans are saying, who?

In other words, i was right. Warned y'all about the wankerism of the WR crops in the offseason. Time has proved me right.

Tyreek Hill clone Mecole Hardman was available in the 2nd at the Packers pick. Instead, German Shepherd took....

Trade up for Savage? Yep, great pick.

[bobblehead]

Not sure Sony Michel is what is driving the SB train.

Team loaded with talent from a shitty org perpetually underachieving ala the 49ers of 2010s - Rams.

Team that would have made the Owl without a 1st round RB - Patriots.

I'm just giving Tex shit. I think you guys know how I feel about the RB position. Give me a dominant OL every time.

[bobblehead]

Trade up for Savage? Yep, great pick.

I think he meant Elgton Jenkins who is keeping ARod upright long enough to hit Allison for big plays. I'm sure ARod could hit Hardman from his ass.

After last year's issues at Guard I'm not surprised they made the moves they did, including the Jenkins pick (who is apparently working out pretty good). I would have loved for them to have taken Mecole Hardman or A.J. Brown or Terry McLaurin, but I also understand giving the year2 WRs a chance to make that leap. I think MVS *might* eventually make it, but agree this offseason they will have to find better receivers. The Allison/Kumerow/Sheppard/Lazard group is not going to scare anyone, and MVS is pretty inconsistent.

They can manufacture yards with the scheme and Rodgers' magic, but since Graham's best days are behind him Adams is the only playmaking receiver they have.

I'd rather they keep Taylor or trade him vs. just waive him. His contract isn't that horrible, and if you keep him he's pretty good depth unless you're a bigger fan of Lucas Patrick.
Graham is done, but I'm not convinced Tonyan or Sternberger are ready for 50 snaps a game.

On D, Clark is a must to extend. The others I'd let play out...I think they all could be replaced. Martinez is good at making the calls but beyond that he's ok. I think they'll need to find another ILB in the draft. Summers might be able to fill in for Martinez, and Burks is a mystery.
