Packers 2021 draft class

[wist43]

Ok. Agreed. This pick makes complete sense now that I finally looked into him in depth (AR sidetrack really took me out of the draft).

This is a Ron Wolf (Al Davis protege) pick. I didn't believe the 4.2 speed but it's legit. Sam Shields is his floor, very good pair with Alexander. Never gave up a pass over 20 yards in SEC, still learning the position but has solid play already with lots of room for improvement. In hindsight Stokes is candy GB cannot pass on with a need at CB2. No wonder they thought they lucked out.

This can bring the secondary close to the 2010 level which clearly, at the subconscious level at least, is steering secondary draft choices since 2019. So much better than the many whiffs for years. Excited for the 2ndary.

I'm officially on the stoked band wagon. This whole team is primed to dominate this year and we're already one of six plays away from beating the most stacked NFC team (Bucs) in many years. The dline could use a couple more bodies. But two new WRS, three catchers peaking, restocked line, Gary emerging. Dillon. Deguara. Rooks that will contribute. It's like a double draft class with the guys that will 1st play this year.

I wanna believe Stokes is a player, but his instincts and possibly study habits might be issues.

He doesn't see routes the way he should, and as a result his footwork is very sloppy. He gets wrong-footed a lot, and against NFL WR's that will get him beat like a stepchild.

I'm hoping some good coaching will clean that stuff up.

He has everything to succeed (good coach, super high IQ)

One thing you can't teach is speed. I like this pick much more than many past dbs and see why he's so high on GB's board.

He's already been playing against NFL WR's and wasn't getting beat like a stepchild.

Yup. Maybe he'll hit, maybe he won't. But he's already proven himself against quite a few first-round WRs.

Great point.

Barmore is the guy I wanted when the thread was made prior to the draft. However, if they insisted on taking a CB in R1, from everyone I talk to down here in GA, Stokes is a great pick. They all like him much better than the guy the Jags took at the top of R2.

I know we're only 2 games in, but in his limited but growing action, he seems like he's going to be a really good pick.

Seems like Gooter knows how to pick a CB. Now if only Rashan Gary wasn't ass he'd be in business. He is the Michigan Man.

Stokes is looking very good so far.
Gary looked ok. Per pff He got pressure on 19.1% of his snaps. Thats solid

Gary looked like crap last night in my untrained opinion. He has the opportunity of a life time right now and has done nothing with it. I kind of think he is just not physically capable of it. Might be fast as hell but no moves or something.

19.1% pressure rate, drove rb back into the middle with contain. Shutdown passing lanes when asked (watch the garvin near sack). Yup that sounds exactly not like garbage.
