Pack doesn’t need to move to get either a great DB or OT.

Waist vs waste. Probably want your beard to your waist.

sorry, that IS NOT 275,000 people

i had a hard time believing it was 150,000

[jklowan]

gotta disagree, we could use 2 ol, 2 lb, 2 s, cb, rb, edge and a dt, picking up an extra 2 or 3 to move down a spot or 2 would be smart imho

True, but they do have needs that Day 3 picks might have helped. But I'm not trying to pass as an authority; you've got your ear firmly against the ground there and I've been away from Minnesota for years, so I defer to you on any matter of opinion.

As for Rodgers, I'm honestly a little skeptical that he'll even be a short term answer. I think he's gong to have one of the worst years of his career in 24, because he'll turn 41 this season, he'll get of to a slow start, fighting through the rust of a full year away from the game, and be surrounded by a very incomplete team populated with players he has no familiarity with and no rhythm or chemistry. I don't expect much more than an above-.500 season, but not by much, and by the end of the year I doubt either he or the Jets will be all that eager to try again in 25. I'd guess that 2025 is 50-50.

Were you thinking the Jets mightg have gone McCarthy?.

I agree on Rodgers. I have no idea what the Jets might have thought on a replacement. You probably know how Aaron reacted last time. Not expecting a breakout season and I'll be honest, that fucker has a screw loose.

Amarius Mims

Overview
Talented tackle prospect carrying a picturesque frame and exciting NFL traits. Mims plays with pretty good technique and is ahead of the game with hand placement. He has the size and bend to create movement and adequate athleticism to make blocks on the move, although he can be inconsistent in that area. He uses a two-hand punch that causes him to lunge forward a bit, but that should be correctable. It is very rare to see him clearly beaten by a rusher, and he has the recovery talent to do something about it when it happens. Mims has more development to go, but he’s a Day 1 prospect with the traits and talent to be considered at either tackle position. He has a high ceiling, but questions due to his lack of experience could temper early expectations.

Strengths
Outstanding combination of size, length and proportionality.
Fits into his drive blocks with good bend and a lift for leverage.
Plays with deliberate hand placement and runs feet through contact.
Keeps weight on inside half when sliding out to rusher.
Uses direct punch with inside hands and/or aggressive gather-and-snatch.
Strong hands and pure mass help tone down power rushers.
Adequate recovery tools to fight back when beaten.

Weaknesses
Very limited experience, with just eight career college starts.
Inconsistent in sustaining blocks in the run game.
Movements up to second level lack timing and accuracy.
Feet get heavy when attempting to mirror a cross-face rush challenge.
Needs to work on forward lean at the top of the rush.

Kinda looking like a good CB will be available now... didn't think that would be the case the last few months.
