Maybe Denver did want to move down. Maybe they would have let up move up three spots. Maybe their cost was reasonable. And maybe Bush was our target. But unless something more substantial comes out, it's just conjecture.

Not sure you want to do that just yet because we could also go find the "cut Devante Adams" threads. Those lasted until part way into his 3rd year.

I'm pretty sure every poster groaned when we picked Gary. I swore up a storm. But, being homers, many of us tried to find a silver lining. I know that in reading most of my posts from then they went something like "well, I'm going to give gutes the benefit of the doubt for now, after all, Gary's combine was nearly identical to Clowney". Not a ringing endorsement, but I tried really hard to be optimistic.

That would be fine by me. The good, or bad part about being very opinionated is i'm right...and wrong a lot. Odell Thurman, and the WR we passed on (can't even remember his name anymore...Jackson maybe) the year Jordy was drafted some to mind for some of my classic wrongs

Rashan Gary's Twitter, I like his attitude and motivation to get better. There is a lot to what he said about himself in this tweet. I really like his fast twitch off the snap. If he can put it all together he is going to be really damn good.

Rashan Gary has a disproportionately sized face compared to his body. Makes him look heftier than he is.

Didn't the only Gary Expert in here Fritzy noted long ago Gary was thought of a self promoter while at Michigan ? If so, it continues

Like is this your gimmick? Self promotion or not he is working to get better, and most importantly recognizes that he has to get better. Gary turning into a player only benefits your team. We are all well aware that you didn't like the pick or the rookie productions, I think a lot of people are on board with that same assessment, but when people dare to see the optimism of the player you sort of piss all over it, whats the point? If he fails where does that get you?

Also, the tape wasn't that bad, there were a lot of great things on his tape. The mystery was simply when you add the talent, the measurables, combine numbers, and skill put on tape and it all adds up to his lack of production there is a huge issue there, especially when it wasn't for a lack of effort or hustle.

Agreed. The tape wasn't bad. The potential is there. He does have two good players in front of him, but the way Pettine mixes up (rushing Z. Smith and Gary on the inside in rushing situations) he'll get his chance to prove everybody wrong. Hope for improvement this year while his playing time increases, and then hope he becomes a monster in year three.

Honestly, I think the Packers see in Gary what they saw in Z. Smith. Z. Smith didn't start more than four games until year four and didn't have more than 5.5 sacks in a season until then. It shouldn't take Gary that long, but he needs to keep working. It's encouraging that he seems to enjoy his craft.

I looked at one game and thought the tape was poor. He rarely finished plays.

I have no idea what that means about what he is missing, but he is the king of pursuit rather than immediate contact.

Someone in here floated the idea that he lacks a change of direction burst or some other trait that allows you to cut a straight line to the ball. But I also think that he doesn't yet have one move other than speed to clear a blocker.

He has dominant traits but doesn't show dominant play. I have seen that combo fail more than succeed. That is my worry.
