Studs and Duds, Packers at Corvus Corax.

[texaspackerbacker]

Stokes is the best rookie CB I've seen on the Packers. Better than Alexander was. The only guy I remember who might be comparable was Willie Buchanon. Herb Adderley only started 1 game as a rookie.

Don't forget Tim Lewis if you're getting historical. But yes, I agree - even better than Jaire as a rookie.

APB, Stokes dominated the SEC's best in college - presumably including Chase and Jefferson. I assume over time, he will do the same in the NFL.

Wow, that is awesome. What a slam dunk pick at the bottom of R1. Is CB Gootbag's best spot like WR and OL was for TT? I hope so since it's such a premier position.

Other than tracking bombs in the air, Stokes has been fine. But let’s not forget that he has had problems covering Wu-Tang wideouts like Chase and Justin Jefferson. Let’s see how he fares in the playoffs before anointing him the next great shutdown corner.

I’ll give Stokes this, though: dude’s balling way better than Ahmad Carroll did as a rook. Make fun of Sherman for the pick all you want, but Sherman never once missed the playoffs as GM.

Boring.

Good call. Tim Lewis was pretty good right away. I don't remember well enough if he played better than Stokes as a rookie though.

I had a vague feeling I was forgetting someone, and Lewis was the guy. He had 5 INT's as a rookie, but is only listed as a starter in 7 games. Mike McCoy started the other 9 games at RCB. Mark Lee was the LCB.

11th overall pick in the 1983 draft:

16 interceptions in his first three seasons. Then 3 games into his 4th season, the horrific neck injury.

I don't exactly recall, was it a horrific injury? Or did they just discover a defect he was born with?

Stenosis. Channel the nerves travel through is too small for him to play safely.

I think we had a promising WR in the Oughts who had the same thing happen to him and had to retire early.

[texaspackerbacker]

Terrence Murphy I think.

Terrence Murphy I think.

That's it.

[smuggler]

Murphy got hurt on a kickoff return the season before we drafted Jennings. If not for his injury, the entire course of history charges. Who knows if for better or worse.
