@astro_mony@salarydraft@TazimWajidWajed Good comp. They run similar routes and play a similar role in the offense (taking the top off the D).
I also see Watson's game progressing in the same direction as Jordy's. Time to bring back the ol play action boot play that Rodgers loved to run.
@2MINIHULK@FreshPrinceofSJ If we draft Stenberg I think there's a good chance Misa centers the 2nd line with him. Those two together would be electric.
Toffoli might be too slow to play at this point, and definitely too slow for an energy line.
@zachkruse2 What Watson brings, no other WR on the roster can do. He's their clear #1. The entire offense changes when he's off the field, in a very bad way.
It *never* made sense to draft a WR on day 2 when GB had several excellent ones already on the roster.
@BookOfEli_NFL π― Best article I've seen on the Packers draft. You've identified GBs needs perfectly and didn't fall into the WR in round 2 trap.
If I had one need to add, GB needs to develop a well rounded TE #2 behind Kraft. Doubtful Musgrave is on the roster next year.
@nickolson1@RossUglem As a BPA-only exercise this is interesting to see where the value will be in different rounds of the draft.
In reality, I wouldn't hate an OL being drafted in R2. All 5 of our OL starters have question marks (Tom = post-injury), but I hope they wait on a WR until R5 or later.
@MrWhiskey365@BookOfEli_NFL Right there with you. GB bringing in only 2 OL for visits is probably why there isn't more talk about it.
Losing Kraft should not have been so devastating. Poor run and pass blocking were the main reasons the offense flailed last year.
@Scuba_Steve161@Kinger112611@Peter_Bukowski We could add center to the list.
All three interior OL are suspect. A high draft pick creates pressure on those three to perform or lose their starting job.
So no, not "everyone" would be pissed about drafting iOL early.
@RossUglem I'd say it goes beyond needing a 6th OL. IMO, the OL was the Achilles heel of the offense.
Morgan is unproven and the interior OL was average at best last season. There's plenty of room for upgrades on the OL.
@RossUglem Agreed on Savion, wow was he slow, but Golden was creating a lot of separation. When he learns the playbook look out.
- Watson and Golden can both go deep
- Watson, Golden, and Kraft all run intermediate routes
- Kraft and RBs near the LOS
It's a strong group *when healthy*.
@Peter_Bukowski Watson, Golden, Kraft + a pass catching RB would be enough. The rest can be Malik Heath caliber guys.
Last season's offense primarily failed due to poor OL play. If I'm Gute I'm drafting CB, DL, and OL until day 3.
@DaireCarragher Reggie in the Green Bay years created game changing results just like Micah... but in a larger more powerful frame. He wasn't as fast or as agile, but very powerful. Look up Reggie highlights and you'll see him throwing guys around.
But in the end it feels the same.
@NateFies11@mattschneidman Spicy take - the NFL should stop permanently retiring numbers. Just retire them while the person who wore it is still alive.
Time marches on.
@JoeyPackman44@mattschneidman The same fumble that was caused by a helmet to helmet hit where the player wasn't flagged, but then later fined? That one??
