  • Still don't know what the justification for bringing Amos back is. If they wanted to extend him they could have, instead they did a restructure and let his contract expire with a lot of dead void year money. That tells me they don't want him back unless he's dirt cheap, and he won't be. Someone else will take a 1-2 year flier on him and I wish him luck. Really was a solid if slightly underrated FA signing before the wheels came off last year.

    Cobb as your WR5 or 6 is ok as long as you have others playing a lot of ST, and he's getting maybe 8-10 snaps a game. If Rodgers comes back I could see an argument for bringing him back as your lone old vet in the WR room, but you don't really want him playing a lot. He can't run anymore and hasn't been able to stay healthy for years. Nobody else is going to sign him.

    Johnathon Ford did not have inspiring college tape, and made the roster simply on the basis of being a draft pick. He never played, not even on goal line or short yardage situations, which is where you'd think a 340 pound DL would like up. Like Clark and Slaton, he plays the NT. I don't know what you do with him, but I don't think he sticks. Slayton is an interesting if older player who has bounced around a few teams. They went into games last year thin at DL rather than bring up Slayton or activate Ford. I am skeptical either will amount to much. If a guy like Breese is there at 15 and his medicals check out I wouldn't be unhappy if they take him. I do think outside of Jalen Carter there isn't a lot of R1 DL, but I could easily see them look at one in mid or late rounds. I have optimism for Wyatt but he was very inconsistent. I don't think he'll be as good as Clark but still pretty good. Point is, I think they need another body here who can play. Maybe that ends up being a cheap vet FA signing.

    Starting to wonder if they take an OL in R1. Not a huge fan of it, but at this point little they do would shock me. Not convinced they have their 2024 tackle tandem on the roster. They had some issues in the interiior OL last year, that's an area they might look to improve as well, but not in R1.

    • What that tells me about Amos is that they maybe couldn't come to an agreement on an extension but probably are still trying/negotiating.

      Cobb is also insurance as a returner - not as much speed as you'd like, but at least surehanded and smart.

      I didn't see J. Ford's college tape, but the fact they kept him around must mean somebody has hope for him. He couldn't line up for short yardage if he wasn't active for a game. We'll see, I guess. Maybe he just gets cut early. maybe not. Anyway, there seemingly are 5 or so ahead of him right now.

      I REALLY hope they don't go O Line in the first round. In addition to what I think of the priority of O Line in general, there's the factor that highly picked O Linemen so often don't pan out, not just for the Packers. Plus, we've got tons of them right now (literally hahahaha).

      I don't start getting excited about individual players until after the Packers draft them, given so so many that are talked about and we don't draft them. The way I see it, you just have to trust the staff and hope for the best/analyze after the draft/gripe as needed.

        • Jalen Carter was seen as a possible 1st overall pick.

          An arrest warrant has been issued for Georgia DT and potential No. 1 pick Jalen Carter for Reckless Driving and Racing. Stems from the January 15th crash that took the life of a teammate and staffer.

          Carter is on the schedule to speak at the NFL Combine at 10:30 ET.

            • Maybe he falls, I would still take him.

              Comment


              • Me too, probably.

                2 factors here, though: 1. is he gonna be locked up for a few years? That would seem very possible. 2. Is he generally a decent guy? Or an overall bad character type? We have several Georgia guys who could weigh in on it.

                I very much doubt be does fall to the Packers, though, unless he really would be facing years in prison.

                • If he's "only" going to prison for a year or so, you could just consider that a redshirt year. I'm sure he'd be working out contantly in prison, and probably learning some new moves, too.

                    Gotta be honest. Unless something comes out that the police haven't told us yet, he isn't spending 1 day in prison. Now, if it comes to light that he did something like actually running the other car off the road, then that will change things. Right now, he was booked on just 2 misdemeanors.

                        Build from the lines out. That's the old school idea.

                            Who is Peter Bukkake? Who is Jaxson Smith-Njigba? Who is Garrett Wilson?

                            Why is someone commenting on something someone said about a player two years ago?

                                Garrett Wilson is a Jets WR who was offensive rookie of the year this past season. He's from Ohio St. He and Jaxson Smith-Njigba, who is a WR likely to be drafted in the 1st round, would have been college teammates in 2020-21.
