Off-season 2023 Banjo

Which is all great until you dunk 8 in the water on the final hole................or throw a pick in OT.

Ha!

I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot of check-downs and safe throws. We'll get out fill, I'll bet, this year.

When the coverage calls for it, a checkdown is better than waiting forever for somebody to get open. If a safe throw means throwing to the open guy on time, I'm all for it.

[Fritz]

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying we're going to see a lot more of it this year, and at times it will drive us nuts.

Unless it results in a lot of 2-3 yard gains on third and four, it won't drive me nuts. He will have to hit some deep ones to keep the defense honest, but he has plenty of arm strength to do it. I'm almost certain he will hit a number of 10-15 yard throws over the middle, which I'll be thrilled to see.

Devondre Campbell was signed June 9. Rasul Douglas October 6. Ya never know.

Speaking of "ya never know," does anyone know much about the two wide receivers in the supplemental draft pool? The supplemental draft is next Tuesday, and I wonder if either of the two is worth bidding on. One's named Wright and the other is, I think, Weideman. Both had issues with academics. Both about 6" or just above, both about 190 - 195, one ran a 4.59 40 and the other a 4.52.

Neither seems spectacular, but is one worth throwing a pick at? Or is the wide receiver room already too crowded with diaper dandies?

Tom Brady made a career out of doing things opposite of Rodgers. He always looked for the short completion first and progressed to deep routes if it wasn't there.

This is about all I can find on it:

If the Packers are concerned about the health of DuBose, a 7th for Wright might be reasonable, but otherwise pass. Neither played much last season, or would have tested to get a RAS score, so even a 7th is pretty high for them.

I doubt they would pick either. If they did, it would signal there are concerns with the receivers they already have. Would also mean a draft pick was likely getting cut.

They have a lot of young unproven talent, might as well ride with it and see where it goes.
Dubose might not make the team if Malik Heath and Bo Melton have anything to say about it.

Watson, Doubs, Toure, Reed, Wicks, Dubose, Melton, Heath, Jeff Cotton, Duece Watts, Jakadis Bonds on the roster now. They're gonna keep 6.
Now if there was a standout safety in the supp draft...

[Fritz]

I think the wide receiver group is going to be good, but they're so damn young that this is going to be a learning season for everyone. Things will shake out, and by next season we'll have a handle on the pecking order and some sense of how good the Watson/Doubs/Toure trio actually is, and some idea of this year's rookie group as well - not as much, but some.

The Packers signed Alex McGough to backup first-year starter Jordan Love in 2023 after a team workout on Tuesday, July 18, according to Bill Huber of FanNation’s Packer Central.

Well to compete for a backup position anyway. Either they don't like what they've seen from Clifford, or they think he's an upgrade from Etling for the practice squad QB spot.

This probably means they won't play Love in the preseason much, if at all.

[texaspackerbacker]

or they just need a practice arm to take up some of the throws in drills

Looks like they Jets will be releasing D Mims, could that be our Vet signing

Not sure they're really looking for a WR, after drafting 6 the last 2 years. He does have the kind of size/speed Packers look for. After a decent rookie season in 2020, hasn't done much though.
