From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. 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.
The Watt comp is valid. So is Gary. Maybe Fletcher Cox?
Not TJ Watt really. 20 pounds smaller and appreciably slower in the 40.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
Limited knowledge tree of white players who played for the Packers or Badgers makes the most sense on this board.
The 1 guy that plays on the team that is an actual closer athletic comparison only gets it from @YoHoChecko
Yeah. Gary is always the athletic comparison I heard predraft. I also heard Matthews as a comparison but that was more about the limited college playing time.
The dude is just huge. He looks slower and less nimble to me than Gary just watching tape. But I am starting to like our Edge room. Wouldn't mind going after a fast and smaller guy on day 3 to increase the diversity of the room.

How is the Watt comp valid at all?
More based on how they play, or did in college. Though Watt is a bit more of a speed guy than LVN. Watt was smaller and slower at his draft than I remembered, though.
Internet is clowning the packers by saying our selection never started a game at Iowa. Strange if true.
Iowa starts seniors first. He played rotational starter snaps. I think more than the starter, if I recall correctly. Just a weird college thing at their program.
But he is RAW raw. Like he doesn't have pass rush moves, he just overpowers people, mostly, but has the frame and mold and potential to develop into a lot more. I prefer more development with my elite athletes in the top 15, but he's an elite ceiling athlete with a good motor at a premium position, so he'll likely turn out at least solid.
I don't get the D&D with high first round picks, we do it so often on defense and it takes a season or two to have a good starter and if they excel it's time to resign them, I'am not in this to find super ceiling players, or DPOY guys, I just want starter ready players, imo D&D has a place late first and beyond.

I hope Ness is more ready.
I don't think he's much more ready than Gary was, doesn't mean he won't get up quicker. He won't have the same caliber of players in his way either, '
But this is actually a fine year to be okay taking a player who might need a year or two.
