Swervin Ervin looks to be a WR

[GB-Brandon]

I saw something where Dillon ran against a stacked box in college 75 percent of the time and still ran for over 1200 yards against it with many of the yards after contact.

I think he is gonna be a beast in this offense with having some more space. He can catch somewhat too.

I hope Dillon adds an element of smash. I think we are going to see a lot of injuries this year as teams don't play preseason and then try to go 100% for a full game out of the gate. I hope Flower runs 4 heavy contact practices, almost scrimmage like to let these guys get used to hitting in phases.

Big Surprise Everyone!

Maybe this whole thing will get Gute Fired and we can get someone in here to put some real weapons around Rodgers.

Dillon is $. Probably their best pick of the draft.

Jordan Love got some chicken legs.

Jordan Love got some chicken legs.

He is a huge huge project. A way bigger project then Rashan Gary. It is really gonna come down to hard this kid is going to work and how mentally strong he is and maybe not even then. HE DOESN'T SEE THE FIELD WELL!!! I have some reservations regarding this. I posted after the draft of these things I had heard about him and people ignored me and said i was basically a fucken idiot and ignored me. Well see how it plays out.


He is so lucky that they are treating Nitschke Field like its Homeland Security and they have everything tarped off so nobody can see anything from the outside. He isn't gonna have to show anything in any pre-season games either. They just get to hide him like a little baby. Gute's little baby project. It will be interesting to see how Flower handles this moving forward if development doesn't happen as planned and watch how he maneuvers around to try and pivot and separate from the guy to try and save his ass. This is gonna be interesting for sure but not really that fun due to the cost of all this bullshit.

Love is a way bigger project without the upside beyond being at a high impact position. This dude isn't a Rashan Gary type prospect. That'd be more of the Josh Allen type. Love isn't really a freaky athlete or uniquely talented by any measure AFAICT.

Gary is a whole different discussion but yes to a degree. I still consider Gary a project. Love has a big time arm so that's why I would put him in this category of high upside. The problem is as you probably know there is just so much more to it then having a big time arm and being able to make "All The Throws". Josh Allen is a pretty good comp. I'm really worried about Love's ability to read the field and defense's in the NFL. I think he is gonna be a pick machine and the mental toughness is a huge concern.

I am also very very very concerned about the intangibles regarding this. This whole thing just doesn't make any sense.

[GB-Brandon]

Both Gary and Love entered the draft coming off years of mediocre production. That's the "COMMON DENOMINATOR"!!!!!

Go get some PRODUCTION GUTE!!

I'm withholding judgment on Love. The bottom line is they aren't gonna need him this season.

As for bust or not in the future, I hated it when they drafted him, just like a lot of other people, but they must see something in him, and they must have made the judgment call that we didn't need WRs or anything else all that much. IMO, Gutekunst has performed well enough - extremely much better than Ted Thompson, so I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt - for a while anyway. You could argue that getting high potential guys coming off low production years is smart/bargain hunting. How smart, though, remains to be seen.

I'm also expecting a big year and a long Packer career from Aaron Rodgers - despite the panicky crap that flows from some people, both in here and in the damn media.

Then we have the wrong people "Making Judgement's" and it's really that simple.

The whole world knows were weak at WR and if even if you don't believe that then go back and watch the NFC Champ game where we gave up a RUSHING RECORD to some no namer and got embarrassed in front of the world and got our fucken teeth kicked in. oh yeah, we also lost our second best O-Lineman in free agency.

"WE DID'NT NEED ANYTHING ELSE?"

Jordan Love got some chicken legs.

So did Joe Montana, Kapernick, and Rodgers, right off the top of my head. Maybe he can borrow some of Dillons Earl Campbell legs.

I think his sparq/ras score was really high actually.
