They'll line him up in the backfield and get him the ball in the flat, with some open field blocking ahead of him. Kind of get the feeling Mike wants to experiment with speed.

Also seems to me they want to challenge Janis.

Competition for the last 2 or 3 WR spots is going to be intense.

Just like it should be.

KKinda glad The Packers have that extra preseason game, will give the drafted and udfa (we will find out soon who they are) guys an extra game to show their stuff.

This kid is a Donald Driver type steal.
Good speed, good return man, very good at back shoulder catches.
Keep an eye on this guy over the next few years.

What I don't get, for a WR who will undoubtedly top out at the 4th/5th WR slot, why not take the German dude and see if he turns out to be anything.

There was a new article saying that Rams agreed to draft Michael Sam as a deal with the league.

http://590thefan.com/league-made-deal-with-rams-to-draft-sam 

As much as the NFL Network were telling us that the Drafting of the German dude was not a gimmick. I remember distinctly the same type of league shill for Michael Sam. The league is all about money and having this German dude creates a buzz where football is a very low priority is $$$ for the league and advertisers.

I hope he makes it, but with all this strange media about the Michael Sam deal with the Rams it is hard to think we might not be being played in some weird marketing agenda.

OK tinfoil hat off.

A very superficial look at this pick tells me the Packers are expecting more from Janis on offense this year and they may want him off the kick return duties. Assuming all our injured WRs return at full strength my guess is Adams or Abbredaris will be odd man out. My money is on Abbredaris.


Then again we all may be reading too much into the big picture. It could be that Ted and Mike have no special plans for this guy and he was just a player that they really liked at that spot and they will let the chips fall where they may.

This Trevor Davis ... I know nothing about, other than he's supposed to be fast.
