This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.

Haha! Yeah, I fell for it. I could totally see McGinn putting out a Hot Take like "There are no Round 1 or 2 WRs!" in a deep receiver draft.

The case I like about the Wilsons, Olaves and Williams of this draft is they do seem to have good speed in their tape.

I think speed is what we need most.

The Packers ranked #1 last year in WRs being "open" and "wide open"

Our scheme is designed to get players open. So the next thing is having players able to do something with it once they have the space.
Where is that stat from about being most open wrs? Interested to see the source.
Watch Peter Bukowski's "Packers Need Speed" episode. It's said there.

I'm gonna pull a yoop and say I don't have time to look it up - and quite frankly I don't really want to. I'm over the "everything is linked to Rodgers" conversations. But I have seen that from other places in the past too. Schematically the Packers do a really good job of getting players in space.

Use a 1 and a 4 to trade for Metcalf
Use the other 1 and 4 to move up and grab Olave or Williams

Use the two 2s and the 3 to draft an Edge, OT, and a (TE or Safety).
Love is the answer…

ya I'd like to see that myself, Rodgers forced the ball to Adams 150 times last year into constant double coverage while everyone else was wide open :thwap:

Where did the Packers rank in missing wide open receivers in key down and distance situations? :argue:

"The last 2 years, MLF has been top 3 in receivers open percentage and wide open percentage according to NextGen stats"

Starts at 10:20.

It's a thing in surprisingly many places, probably because of it's British origin.

I just pranked my Russian friend good.

Um. My entire knowledge has its foundation in the Simpson's. I won many a High School Quiz Bowl competitions (vs nerdy homeschoolers no less...) to the surprise of the people watching how "I know stuff" because of the Simpson's.

April Fool's Day was started by Pagans as it was their New Year. The Christians ridiculed the pagans for their whacky calendar. I guess could be British. But more like North Umbria, Wessex, Mercia Britain. :lol:

And to brighten the day. Here is a great Simpson's April Fools Day episode. The level of jokes in this show still has me laughing to this day.

This year I've been underwhelmed by the DTs and WRs. I haven't looked at CB much. I love Kyler Gordon late Day 2 for us but I bet he goes way earlier than I would like.
seriously now, don't you think the abundance of quality OL and edge rushers over whelms your eval of the WR's along with 3 safety in the top 30 ?

again I will go back to the big boards, Edge and OL top Jeremiah's top 50 with 9 each, wr 8, lber 5, cb 5, dt 5, safety 4 qb 4 and rb 2

without looking edge and OL seem higher then usual, as well as WR

Trying to keep JustJeff's thing going... He got us good a few times. :pray:

Real McGinn hasn't done his WR piece yet. For the "WR analysis", I just copy-pasted all the negative off NFL.com's evaluations (except for Jameson, that one I made up) without any of the positives. If you omit the positives, everyone looks like a 3rd rounder at best.
