We've already got Janis, but for some reason, they want another guy just like him.

Sweet, another talented player for Mike McCarthy to leave on the bench.

Looks like a great set of hands and another gear when needed. The quarterback on that team looked promising Also. If we learned anything last season you can never have enough weapons in the receiver corps.

There is going to be an even bigger discrepancy in the talent he faced vs the talent Janis faced in Division II. While that video showed his highlights, it also shows how incompetent the defenders were.

I do believe the Packers are in need of a WR but they need to take someone that is going to have an immediate impact and probably pick around the 2-3 round. Last season showed a glaring hole in our WR group when Jordy went down and then to make it an even bigger issue, Montgomery went down with a season ending injury. Abby shines but is a huge injury liability. Janis sits the bench. Cobb is the only one that can consistently stay healthy and I am not willing to write him off after one bad season.

If the Packers take him with the 7th round pick, fine. They can mold Janis Jr. However, if the hype around this guy is anywhere remotely close to his actual talent a team is going to have to stash him on the 53. He will be yanked from a PS immediately because of his physical attributes alone.

I'm still not sold on Abby, Janis or even Adams at this point but I doubt I'd be any more sold on a day 3 guy either so unless we spend a high pick on a WR it's going to be a wait and see game just like we have been doing with many of our other guys. If anyone is looking for improvement in our WR corp I don't see it happening this year unless someone falls into our lap because even though Ted Thompson says he is a BPA guy my guess is in rounds 1 and 2 the BPA is going to be a lineman or a linebacker.

Good for the kid to have some hype around him. It will make him a bit more money. I just don't know how any GM will think that this kid will be able to play other than in limited situations unless the guy is unbelievably dedicated to reading and digesting the playbook and can translate it in practice. The competition jump will be huge along with the complexity of the game.

I see a lot of straight line speed, but not much route running. Plus, as was already stated, what is the level of competition he faced over there as compared to NFL level? His speed might be closer to "average" NFL speed.
Being the best of the "so-so" doesn't mean much.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
