The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

Exactly like last year. Except with the reinforcements including offensive playmakers and the returns coming in time to get them worked into the game, not AT the playoffs.APB wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 06:51Kinda like last year, you mean?YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 06:44I look at guys coming off of injuries but otherwise talented as reinforcements arriving fresh mid-season and ramping up for a playoff run.
I would rather go 10-7, win the north, and tinker all year long constantly trying out new wrinkles and player combos...literally treating some games like a practice...with the intention of practicing for maximum readiness for JanuaryYoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 06:44It’s interesting. Andy Herman has been saying similar things on his videos—hope you don’t want too many guys returning from injury.
I sort of feel the opposite. The way I see it, we’re winning the North again this year. It’s not 100% but it’s a pretty good bet. Our seasons now are about January, not about September.
I look at guys coming off of injuries but otherwise talented as reinforcements arriving fresh mid-season and ramping up for a playoff run. Not just with rookies, and it’s more complicated with rookies since that means they miss camp. But I’m just not overly concerned with the regular season this year. Get to the playoffs, be ready.
Guys who present draft value because of temporary ailments, then, appeal to me even in a “win now” year.
Agree. I thought he was projected higher though.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 12:33There's a guy in this draft whose pre-draft impressions are SO similar to Z I almost have to have him.
Same school (Kentucky).
Similar size (slightly shorter, but longer arms)
Relentless effort and locker room leader
Mid-round draft projections
Similar testing
mid-single digit sack numbers in college seasons
Josh Paschal. If he's there in the 4th, I gotta have him
I've seen him all over the place. As high as 2nd round and as low as 6th. But I started narrowing in on him as a potential mid-round guy as well.Realist wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 12:37Agree.

that works out pretty well for vet players, guys that know and have had prior success in the schemes used, don't think we'd get the same results from rookies, obviously some positions are more easily adapted to for any player, and imo WR certainly qualifies as such, still chemistry has to be established with Rodgers, and starting that process mid season wouldn't be easy.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 09:04Exactly like last year.

Watson doesn't have an injury; that's just me fleshing out the rest of the draft I'd want if we took the injured guys in the first. You're probably right about them dropping.
I can't think of anyone. If I could get a top ten pick and one of the top 3 pass rushers was there, I'd think about it. But multiple picks for a pass rusher when we need multiple receivers doesn't feel good.BF004 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 15:23So who in this draft would you want to move up from
22 for?
Might need to if you really like one of the top ~4 WRs over the others.
I keep wanting to say Jordan Davis, but just not impressed enough with him.
Can’t really think of anyone else. I like the corners, but zero need for pick 22+ others
I would rather trade down as opposed to up given Gute's trade up history. I hope they stay put and take 4 swings in first and second. Jordan Davis is a combine darling but checkout his snap count. When the d at Georgia played 60 some snaps and above against clemson michigan and alabama he play 20 some. They wanted him to play 340 pds but he played at 360. He got in shape for the combine which was smart for him but I dont trust him.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 15:37I can't think of anyone.

I love both of the UGA DTs, but I don't feel like it's a premium enough position to move up. I wish we were sitting at like 19 instead of 22, but not so much that I'd throw a pick away.
I know I'm ALWAYS pro-stockpiling picks, but given the cap work we've done, we really REALLY need a lot of rookie contract contributors over the next 3 years while the cap catches up to our spending.
Maybe Kyle Hamilton if he falls, but only a short move up and I would probably still hate it for a safety, but feel like he could transform our D the same way Campbell did a year ago.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 15:37I can't think of anyone.

Then again...YoHoChecko wrote: ↑23 Mar 2022 15:33I mean I removed him last fall when I looked at his size. It's wild how many mocks have paired us with him over the past year.
