Guard was the biggest screaming need for the Vikes and I'm flummoxed that they didn't address it in the first.

i think they gambled on the guard depth leaving them someone in the late second and that immediately blew up in their face. Connor Williams was probably their last shot at an immediate starter and he was gone by pick 50.

Still, they’ve got 3 solid starters and Nick Easton ready. If the guard situation feels real rough, Remmers could slide back inside and you put Hill at RT. Not an ideal lineup but I’m hopeful DiFlippio will find creative ways to compensate.

i think just not having any pass rushers and hoping to get into shootouts with cousins, stafford, and aaron loving rodgers is a winning football strategy

Man, the Lions backfield is going to be a bloodbath come the end of preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut half the RBs they're carrying right now. And I'll bet Abdullah is a cut unless he really impresses.

If you guys have a bit of time to waste you can go to youtube and see the little video segments. I think they've only released 100-85 or something like that but the rest will come out shortly. I've been really interested to see who gets on this list and I'm already triggered hard by JJ Watt making it after he only played five games

I'm going to be really boring and serious and point out that drafting a bunch of (hopefully good) corners, having Clinton-Dix focus on playing his position instead of trying to cover for everyone else, signing a big talent on the defensive line, and on top of all that bringing in a new defensive coordinator who's well-known for being able to generate pressure on the quarterback without having dedicated top-end rushers.

I think the FO believes a lot more in Nick Perry and Clay Matthews than most of the fans do, and are betting that the better pass coverage from the corners and the extra blocking pickups by Mo Wilkerson will help Matthews/Perry operate more effectively.

Now, obviously, I don't know yet whether any of this will actually pan out, but that looks to be the Packers' approach to the pass rush question. And Gute also scored an extra first-round pick for next season, where it's widely believed to be a very strong draft class for pass rushers.

CHICAGO -- The Bears will decline the fifth-year contract option on wide receiver Kevin White, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

White, the seventh overall pick of the 2015 NFL draft, would have made $13.9 million in 2019 had Chicago exercised the option.
it would be really funny to have another Kyle fuller situation happen but I think we all know it won't

Through most of free agency and the leadup to the draft there was a lot of talk about how the Packers needed to draft pass rusher because Clay's old and Perry hasn't been able to produce.

I think the pass rush issues of the past season can be attributed to how awful the coverage was, as that clip shows.

He has two or three big plays a year. He also misses like six games a year to injury.

He's really not worth what they pay him.

what more do you think the DB would do there? Treadwell is 6’3 and is stretching to make a one-handed catch.

like, that play just seems like a good example of Clay still having moves but sometimes the opponent gets lucky.

tbf it's not a competition when it's against a draft pick.
