2020 offseason (draft and free agency)

[mraynrand]

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.

Oh sure. I was thinking "second pick" not second round. Yes, the 'Center' has been playing pretty well at LG.

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.

I'll bet you that 3 to 5 years from now, Valdez-Scantling is generally acknowledged as better than Metcalf.

Allison makes a lot of plays for somebody who gets so little respect - especially from you.

Kumerow also makes a lot of plays when he is in the game. I think it is too soon to call him injury-prone. As a 3rd or 4th best receiver, I like him.

Lazard: I liked Ruvell Martin too hahahahaha. I'm pretty sure Lazard is faster and a better deep threat.

I'd really like either Kumerow or Lazard or both given a try as a TE. Bulk 'em up if necessary - or not.

Shepherd looked damn good in preseason. People theoretically wiser than you or I decided he was a better return man than Trevor Davis.

Queens, Kittens and Bares fans? Fuck the whole bunch of them ....... oops, there I go again being a bad role model to you hahahahaha.

He's had 7 snaps, 1 target, and 1 reception for 12 yards in two games this season.

Too soon? He's 27 years old. Before the Packers, he was injury-prone with Cincinnati. Do we have to wait until he's 30 to call him injury-prone?

Still waiting an answer for how the 422 yards was problematic. You can come up with a half assed critique of any WR corp.

Damn. I had a great reference for Savage from this week.

Kumerow is the Matt Flynn of wide receivers. He's brilliant in preseason but come regular season he disappears. I am over the feel-good story of him. If the Packers released him he would probably go the way of Janis.

[texaspackerbacker]

So am I the only one still on the Kumerow bandwagon? hahahahaha. I was referring to his performance in preseason games, since he has had so few snaps in the regular season. I still say he seems to have a knack for getting open and should have a place on this team. At 6'5", I'd also like to see him at TE.

[bobblehead]

See...give him a full game and thats like 9 catches for 100+ yards. STUD!!!

Exactly. Tyreek Davis had a 100% catch rate, a 28 yard reception average and the Packers let him go.

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.

I am only a casual fan, but I can't quite figure out why Tonyan isn't getting more snaps and more balls thrown to him. I can remember only three he's had thrown in his direction in the bits and pieces of games I've seen this year, and he's caught two of them. One, in the Philly game, was, I think, his only target, yet he made a tough catch in an important moment. His blocking has also supposedly improved and can't be any worse than Graham's, anyway. Why not give him a bigger chance? He seems ready.

[texaspackerbacker]

Graham hasn't been great; He probably hasn't been worth the money he is paid, but it does seem like he gets open better than Tonyan or Lewis and also shows more ability to run after the catch.

I'd think you could design a specialty role for him in short yardage or goal line. But there are bigger issues to worry about just now.

I would love for Lewis to be the starter and Graham and Tonyan to enter the game as the 2nd TE or for the four or five receiver package. Lewis can still block and give your run game help. He can catch a five yard bail out pass and let the RB release down the field. And right now, that RB releasing is better than Graham I think.

You stick Tonyan and Graham out there and see if the D changes to a nickel or dime. Then you throw or pass based off that.

EDIT: Then you throw or run based off that.
