We don’t need no stinkin’ slot receiver. We’re going 12 personnel all day baby.

Gutekunst said he doesn't necessarily agree this was the strongest WR draft class top to bottom. He loved the top but sounds like he didn't evaluated the class as highly as others.

[HarveyWallbangers]

ESB and Adams in the slot, when we go three wide. The Funchise and The Lizard on the outside.

[Freak Out]

Any chance we make a trade for Edelman? Is he even worth it at this point?

[Bretsky]

Well.........They can Block good !!!!

Lol. Yeah. I suppose they can try anything. Too bad they don’t have overall personal to pull of off.

Looks like the Packers might have a new “Pipe Dream” to pump massive capital into with failed results.

I guess LaFleur didn't see the benefit in a speed guy to stretch the field like I and some others saw. Oh well; Maybe the guys that took the team to 13-3 plus a playoff win last year know more than we do.

Just improvement of what we have plus maybe Begelton should mean things ain't that bad.

Has there been a CFL receiver that has ever gone on to do well in the NFL? Just curious.
I am absolutely stunned and deeply concerned that they didn't draft a single WR in what was widely considered (if not by Gute) to be a historically good draft for WR. The WR group they had last season weren't exactly keeping DC's up at night working out special coverages.

Maybe the plan is to copy SF by running the ball so much they only ask Rodgers to throw 8 passes a game. Drafting a RB, H-Back and 3 OL would certainly point to a commitment to the running game like few I've seen.

If the plan is to become a running team they better step a-rod of his ability to audible at the line

When all else fails. It’s “Bagelton to the rescue” lol

He is a 4.6ish guy I believe.

The Bagelman delivered last year.

Not that I can think of. It is one of the areas that don't cross over well. I think our bigger field reduces the need for small area quickness so our stars who get brought down have a different skills than what is prioritized in the NFL.
One thing I have noticed is the CFL tends to be about 5-10 years ahead in the general direction that offensive strategy goes. When the NFL focused on single back stud rb, we were moving to committee backfield. When the NFL was quick read pocket passer we were scramble qbs. When the NFL was 3,5,7 step drops we were short route quick release. Just a couple of broadbrush generalizations to show trends. The CFL has been doing the return to the rushing focus for about 5 to 10 years now we are seeing in the NFL the last couple years so I think it's going to spread more down south in the NFL. Not saying rushing is more important, just it is gaining importance.

Getting back to wrs, I read Percy harvin wants back in. Now that would be an interesting piece to pick up for a possible tryout...

For the record I pray that stampeders dickwad is good enough to stick with the Packers because he was hard to match up against. He was a difference maker up here and I hated watching him in that red and white uniform. Saw him take over a game we were up by at least 10 points and just shredded us in the second half...

So are you saying the West Coast Offense should really be the Hudson Bay Offense?

[run pMc]

Random thought: What if the problem with the WRs was Alvis Whitted?

I'm wondering if Gute is going to pick thru the veteran cuts that are going to happen with all these WRs getting drafted, or if he's going to poach WRs off teams' practice squads.
