AJ Dillon injury

[Upnorth]

Need to try keep Lindsey.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Win the Super Bowl and Gute can overpay AJ—as far as I’m concerned.

[Jaire]

Are we really "worried" about replacing 2 rbs and a center. Those are the easiest spots to replace. They need an RT.

CB, OT, WR are much higher. (And DL just isn't there in the draft. Peronally I don't even want them drafting DT with the terrible history of failure there. Rent an FA til a good draft. That's how it's done in draft and develop.)

What is the future of the team? Bakh, Jenkins, Tonyan; Jaire, Savage, Clark, Gary. They have the primary pieces. That's where the money goes. None of the guys leaving are where you put the money. The biggest missing piece is WR. It's another good draft to get one. I have confidence next year's team will be better.

[RashanGary]

I would agree. Except that for Mac, the running game was an afterthought. If he had it his way, he would not draft any rbs and never run the ball (and at times he did just that). He didn't even use Jones if you remember. They WILL restock that room for MLF.

If we lose both Jones and Jamaal, they will replace them. Not worried.

The line is far more important. Jenkins is the future, Runyan probably too. I look forward to see who they draft tbh. I think it will be heavy offense again. That seems the strength of the draft. And there should be lots of reasonably priced FAs after the draft. It will be a different off season for sure.

Lindsley, Jones, Jamaal, King, Mercedes (retires?): if we lose them all, I don't think we will drop off much. In fact we could improve even. The only irreplaceable one is Lewis.

They are already focused on re-siging Tonyan, probably Lazard too. I wouldn't even bet on Adams being back. It's a game of replacement. Those screaming for Gute to put his OWN team together are about to get their wish.

Well said. Fritz too. It is a game of replacing high priced guys. Tonyan and Lazard insure 12 has a couple guys he likes. Dillon makes the running back position look solid. After that, it's all up in the air. Did Bakh cost us Adams or can we keep both with the intent of letting Rodgers go after his contract or a last year trade. Third contracts are rare. We’ll see what happens.

Fritz too. A couple good posts here. Brandon, you're just too sure of yourself and wrong too often to get a lot of respect the times you're right. You were so wrong on the packers leagues best offense it's hard to take you seriously.

It wasn’t a matter of being wrong. It was being really frigging annoying while being so wrong.

[Bretsky]

That would be stupid to pay him. Latavius Murry makes 2.8 Million and I think Ty Montgomery makes 1 million. That is how you fill the RB room. There are a ton of Jamaal Williams out there. I would rather give Jones 12 million than Williams 6.

And then being completely unable to see it, admit it, or both. For better or worse, Wist chose to hide in shame when his obnoxious predictions blew up spectacularly.

[Bretsky]

Actually, I’m pretty certain!!! There are “Better Options” all the way around!!

Maybe you should catch up! I can’t slow down for you.

Who is the better option ? And please don't say Drake; you'd just sounds less reasonable if you said he was better than Jones

[Bretsky]

Yep

yup

4 for Williams would be fine

Drake is “Budget FA Option” compared to Jones and did not say it was the best option. It would be a sufficient option IMO. I will gladly lay out my draft prospect options as I did last year after we get through this run.

Trust me when I say we will be okay. The “Focus” this offseason needs to be on getting the “Missing Piece”. The running game will be fine unless Gute can’t hold his water!!!

Not happening. This isn’t the James Starks situation where we can throw the guys scraps. He is better.

OK, what was the most James Starks was every paid ??

'Honestly, I, like you, thought the focus of last season was getting the "Missing Piece"

3 mill per in 2016 but that was 4 years ago. Times have changed.

And we didn’t get the “Missing Piece” so hopefully this year it will be ranked as a higher concern/need!
