We can dream, right?

I would agree with this because there are FEW but some exceptions.

There is probably more than a few, but I would agree, they would not be the majority.

I am all in on saying that a speed guy who can actually consistently contribute would help make our passing game better!

Ok Jimmy... Thanks for your time, but come on man...

Let me rephrase what I am saying. I 100% agree that having at least 1 speed guy at WR helps open an offense and makes it easier to be a great passing attack. I don't agree that it is a necessity to have this speed guy to have a great passing attack. (Maybe that is what you were originally saying, if...

Ginn is a good receiver, but he isn't running a sub-4.5 anymore. At 33-34 it just isn't happening, age kills speed pretty quickly. He 100% still has functional speed, but I do not believe he has the speed that Yoho is referencing. That makes more sense on Cooks, but he hasn't been on the Saints sinc...

Ginn was 33 and 34 the last 2 seasons. His speed isn't there like it was when he ran at the combine 13 years ago. For reference the median age of world class sprinters is 26. At one point you could say that he brought speed to an offense, but I don't believe that is true any longer. While not slow, ...

I am not 100% sold on this theory (if the theory is that a team needs at least 1 speed guy to have a dynamic offense). See Saints, 2017 Steelers, just 2 examples right off the top of my head. I do agree that speed is a nice thing to have from at least 1 of your top 3 WRs and it does open some other ...

I like Zach Baun. In college he was and OLB but he is too small to play NFL OLB. Which means he will be available to the Packers. Maybe even at the end of the 2nd round. The big plus for him is that he could be an effective blitzer as an ILB. LOT of draftniks saying he goes in round 1. Personally I...

Good return man coming back on a team friendly deal. What's not to like?!

I was born. Yeah. But there had to be a time when you knew that you had to love the Pack (and at the same time say, "da Bears suck"). 8-) True. The first Packers' teams I remember are the Majkowski and Infante Packers. I was still a kid living in Monroe, WI and the Bears always sucked. It...

[mention]NCF[/mention] Basically I am saying you can't have Queen or Kirskey be your run stopping ILB. Both I believe would take that Goodson type role plus 3rd downs and passing situations. We need to true 3 down guy if we can or at least a 2 down guy that isn't a liability in coverage. That's wher...

My recollection is that prior to the past two injury-shortened years, Kirksey was seen as strong in coverage. Does anyone have anything that confirms/denies that?

I know PFF is down on him in coverage more recently

That was what he was hyped for coming into the NFL. Coverage and athleticism.

Malik Harrison is your snot bubble ILB. He's the guy you want in there to be physical. https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/malik-harrison/jwjnJK4KyJ https://www.nfl.com/prospects/malik-harrison?id=32194841-5260-5109-5b0d-c966f8ba7e71 I think you have to have a physical ILB in there or we are going to...

Why I thought it could change, I have no idea... My case is stated, let's move on.

I figured it out!!! https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$chart-type=bubbles

Literally just popped into my head. Now I have to figure out if I can upload data!

I was born.

Not a ton of info out there on ILBs other than the normal draft sites. I think I will start pulling info from them and posting it here. Not like I have much else to do outside of virtual work... Can't go anywhere...
