    looks like the 2020 draft might be heavy at RB, WR and ILB....

    Round 1 ILB
    Round 2 WR

    That would be nice. Might not be able to afford Martinez going forward.

The cool thing is those two guys have opposite strengths and opposite weaknesses. With a little creative coaching to put guys in the right situations, I think we’re ok this year.

      I’d like another Davante though. I’m down for getting better in any area.
      Adams is great. However, I think what this offense really needs is a Greg Jennings-type. A guy with above average speed who can run every route and play every position.

        Davante, Jennings and then MVS as a deep threat would be unstoppable

          Chargers would be 38 days post injury
          Panthers would be 45 day
          49ers after bye would be 60 day

          He’s moving around gingerly now. Testing it. If we keep stacking wins, I almost wonder if playing it super safe is the best route.

            And that's not Allison? Or Kumerow? Or Lazard? I would say all of the above.

              Nope. None of them have above average speed for a WR. Which is why none of them were drafted.

                Lol, none of those 3 even belong in the same sentence as Jennings.
                Go PACK

                  I don't think Jennings was all that fast either - a good possession receiver who could go deep on rare occasions. And Allison, Kumerow, and Lazard are all 4-6 inches taller - which I'd rather have in a possession receiver anyway. 6-1, and a bunch of grass is greener somewhere else types just can't keep from whining about what we've got hahahahahaha.

                    Jennings ran in the mid 4.4s. His routes were exquisite, and he played even faster than that. Lazard and Kumerow ran in the mid 4.5s. Allison in the 4.6s. None of those guys run routes with the suddenness of Jennings. Jennings was damn good.

                      Jennings had a really good feel for the game and was graceful and effortless with the way he moved. And he was fast enough to be fast but played even faster. He was a great packer and i totally agree that outside of Julio Jones, James Lofton and Randy Moss.... realistically, a Greg Jennings would be perfect for this offense.

                        There are a lot of really good receivers. Probably 30 or more in the NFL. The Packers have 1 but two would be better.

                          At his peak he was an absolute ankle-breaker. And he had tremendous hands. The Anti-Exxon-Valdez-Scantron.

                            Harvey has a reputation for having good observation skills here. He said MVS bad horrible ball skills and that doesn’t get better. In traffic, he’s been bad. I agree. So I do wonder if MVS is limited that way. But I don’t think Harv is giving MVS enough credit on the deep balls. That’s opening up our offense. It’s a valuable one trick to have in this offense where no one else has it.
                            OBJ doesn't have "naturally" great hands. He sits for hours at the juggs machine grabbing balls with his hands only. He does 100 one handed catches; some across his body one handed. I don't like the guy, but those hands are the result of a ton of hard work. He gets on his knees and grabs them one handed over his head. 2 handed over his head. He backs up and does it at his feet. MVS can improve his hands. Maybe not the OBJ level, but to above average.

                            PS...Adams doesn't have elite speed. He can't take the top off the D. Basically nobody possesses every attribute other than a few guys. Julio, Hopkins. I think Davis has it all and now that Marriotta took his rightful position on the bench you will see it.

                              I’ve watched the Titans games. Davis doesn’t play aggressive and fast like you’d hope. He looks tentative

                              But maybe he’s good. I was wrong on baconator so far

                                They are also both 6'5. I should end it right there, but I can't help it. Running a mid 4.5 isn't slow. In the NFL more good receivers are developed than drafted. Lazard has a decent ceiling. He can be very good. He isn't right now. None of them are. When you have a HOF QB you develop WR talent. You have a bunch of guys like we have and you let ARod make them look good.
