Packers want Aaron Rodgers back. "Oh, that says a lot about Jordan Love". No. It's the fact that the Packers have a guy thats won back-to-back MVPs. It has nothing to do with Jordan Love. Thanks for coming to my Common Sense Talk.

Packers beat the Bears in the final week of the season. They then go to Philly and knock off the Eagles in the Wild Card Rd. Head to Atlanta and destroy the Faclons in the Divisional Rd. Then, in the NFC Championship, they beat an NFC North rival to get to the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers is still torn on where he wants to play after GB has done basically anything and everything to make him feel wanted and heard ?. If I were Gutekunst I'd say, okay. It's no longer up to you. Enjoy playing for the Houston Texans.

Quay Walker is here. He's there. He's every freaking where. Devonte Wyatt has 10 pressures in three games. Romeo Doubs (nuff said). Zach Tom (nuff said). Rasheed Walker, Samori Toure, Kingsley Enagbare. Christian Watson may be the best of the bunch. Heck of a draft class.

Packers 31-17. - Kenny Clark dominates the LOS.- Joe Barry has his unit flying around.- A.J. Dillon has a 100-yard rushing game. - Eric Stokes INT.- No special teams blunders.- AR tosses three touchdowns.- Green Bay advances to its third straight NFC Championship game.

Yes. I know Green Bay hasn't taken a WR in the first since 2002. But. Emeka Egbuka is pro-ready and would quickly become Jordan Love's go-to target.
Emeka Egbuka might have the most catches in Ohio State history. but he's also the best downfield blocking wide receiver in college football and a selfless slant route god. He's one of my favorite "football players" in the draft class.

The lone year that Brandon Staley was the DC for the Rams they ranked:. No. 1 against the pass. No. 1 in yards allowed. No. 1 in points allowed. They were 2nd in the league in sacks. They were 3rd against the run. He would be a slam dunk of a hire.
Former Chargers head coach Brandon Staley is interviewing for the Packers vacant DC job, sources tell me and @DMRussini.

Kalen King was projected to be a first-round pick back in the summer. Getting him with pick 255 is an absolute steal. He's a year removed from leading the Big 10 in PDs. That's a potential lottery ticket. Closing a strong class on paper with a bang.

Packers Twitter really upset over the fact that Gutekunst didn't sign a 33-year old WR to a 2-year deal when the GM & his scouting department are staring at what is probably an historic WR draft class. Some of ya'll are crazy. They went 13-3 (NFCCG) w/DA & the funky bunch at WR.

Just an FYI. If Jordan Love is the starting QB that doesn't mean the Packers are in store for a rebuild.

I think nothing should be off the table for Brian Gutekunst at the deadline. Somebody willing to give up a 4th round pick for Preston Smith? Sold. A team desperate for CB help willing to give up picks for Jaire? Done. A case of Hamms for Royce Newman? Let's drink!.

Brian Gutekunst drafted Rashan Gary after paying the Smith Bros. He traded up in the first round for J-Love. He drafted Quay Walker after paying DVC. He drafted an "old" Devonte Wyatt. None of us know what he's going to do on April 27, 2023.

Allen Lazard.Randall Cobb.Sammy Watkins.Christian Watson.Romeo Doubs.Amari Rodgers.Samori Toure. Not a sexy group by any means. But with the back-to-back MVP at the controls behind a good OL and the best RB duo in the league. It will do just fine.

Christian Watson.Jayden Reed.Romeo Doubs.Dontayvion Wicks.Samori Toure.Grant DuBose. Luke Musgrave.Tucker Kraft.Josiah Deguara. No need for a veteran. Let this young group of pass catchers grow up with Jordan Love. #YoungGuns.

It's sad to think that David Bakhtiari could join the "what a career he would have had if not for injury" group. The Packers have a pretty impressive, albeit depressing list. Sterling Sharpe.Robert Brooks.Nick Collins.J-Fin. Hope this isn't the last we've seen of him in GB.

Joe Barry blah blah blah Joe Barry. JB is far from a perfect defensive coordinator, and he deserves blame. However,. What if Jaire and Quay both hold onto those would be INTs?. What if Rashan Gary doesn't bite down so hard on Ridder's 4th down TD run?.

Green Bay loses a game to fall to 3-1. Packers twitter the next day: Trade for a WR. Trade for a LB. Trade for Melvin Gordon. Trade for Jalen Ramsey. Or just accept the fact that this team wasn't going to go 16-0 this season.

Replacing Corey Linsley with another Ohio State center. Myers is a road grader as a run blocker. Myers plays with a mean streak as a run blocker. Myers is a natural leader and was the anchor of one of the best offensive lines in college football this past season. Great pick.

Kevin King is a better player than what he showed in the NFC Championship Game. I'm really glad King is getting a chance to redeem himself in a Packers uniform. I'd be shocked if Green Bay still doesn't leave draft weekend with two rookie CBs. #KingsCorner.

In two seasons at Wyoming, Gafford recorded six interceptions and 17 PDS. The JUCO transfer going back to the position he played throughout college. Former track athlete. Should be a fun one to watch throughout camp.
The Packers moved wide receiver Rico Gafford to cornerback and gave him Sam Shields' number 37. Shields famously made the transition from WR to CB and that worked out pretty well. Gafford has blazing speed. Interesting move for GB.

Kingsley Enagbare can get after the QB. Step in from day one and be a pass-rushing specialist. Ideal length. Good burst to close on the QB. Long strides. Powerful. Finished his career with 24 TFLs and 15 sacks. He'll provide great depth behind Gary and Smith.

Jayden Reed has an instant accelerator and the long speed to win vertically. Electric playmaker. 581 YAC over the past two seasons. Reed finished his collegiate career with three punt return touchdowns. Eager blocker. More weapons for Jordan Love.

The year is 2030. The Packers have Jacob Eason as their starting QB. They are coming off another NFC North title & playoff appearance. None of that matters because Packers twitter is still upset that Ted Thompson didn't re-sign Casey Hayward & "only" won 1 SB with Aaron Rodgers.

Anthony Johnson Jr. You are a Green Bay Packer. Hustle. Forced fumble to save a TD. Matt LaFleur after seeing this play: Alright, alright, alright.

I love Jordy Nelson. Maybe staying in Green Bay could have extended his career. But, he was out of the league after playing one year outside of 1265 Lombardi Avenue. Nearly every move Gutekunst has made that AR likely has beef with has worked out.

133
Christian Watson.Jayden Reed.Romeo Doubs.Samori Toure.Dontayvion Wicks .Grant DuBose. That should be the six. Not sure I'm bringing in any of those veterans listed here to take snaps away from them. I get the want for having a vet, but let these young pups grow with Jordan Love.
The #Packers have said they'd like to add a veteran receiver to the mix. Randall Cobb sure seemed like an obvious choice. With Cobb off to the Jets, here's our Top-12 list. On the bright side, it includes six former first-round picks.

Kevin King is a solid NFL CB. Lockdown? No. As bad as the majority of Packers Twitter makes him out to be? Not even close. KK has all the tools in the tool shed to become an elite CB. #PurpleReign.

Rasheed Walker was a 32-game starter at LT. Played RT in high school. Long/athletic frame. Good footwork. Creates movement as a run blocker. He has all the tools. Could possibly battle for starting RT position. More depth for the Great Wall of Lambeau.

That's an appropriate way to describe him. He may be "undersized" but Javon Bullard is an alpha. He's going to be a fun one to watch in GB.
From @dpbrugler: Georgia coach Kirby Smart called Javon Bullard "a little stick of dynamite." . Described as a team leader at Georgia.Coaches believe he'll be a future coach.

Christian Watson was No. 8 on the Unpacking Future Packers countdown. Dynamic playmaker. Rare combo of size & speed. Challenges CB vertically. He chews up grass with his long strides. Leaping ability. Juice after the catch. ST value as a KR. Good blocker.

Yes. Yes I am. Stokes is a lockdown CB. He's an eraser. Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes are going to make life very difficult for opposing quarterbacks.

I have questions. Did AR do anything different to try and grow?. He wanted more communication, and this is a direct quote from him:. "Did Brian text me more than I texted him? Yeah" . Also, didn't Christian Kirk sign his contract in March of 2022?
What really happened with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in the three years after they took Jordan Love?. I heard stories and then asked Rodgers if he wanted to respond. He called me and had plenty to say. Behind the scenes in Green Bay, new @TheAthletic:

"Very, very physical, he has excellent stopping power," Brian Gutekunst on Ty'Ron Hopper. To me this pick was a Rich Bisaccia special with his extensive special teams experience. Hopper has a radar for the football with sideline-to-sideline range. Love the pick at 91.

Utah's Britain Covey could provide shot in the arm to Green Bay's return game. I chatted with the dynamic return man about his game and what he could bring to Green Bay. “My greatest strength is my ability with the ball and field vision." @brit_covey2.

Edge. Rashan Gary, Preston Smith and Kingsley is a nice stable. Love to see a vet added to that mix. Watson.Lazard.Cobb.Doubs.Samori.Amari.Sammy. I don't know if there would be room for a ver WR. Samori Toure is going to turn heads.
If Green Bay scrounged together the money to add one more solid veteran, where would you liked to see that money spent?.

The Packers almost won a playoff game with AR throwing to Jeff Janis & Jared Abbrederis. I think GB will be fine tomorrow going into Jerry's World without DA. If GB loses it will be because they can't slow down Zeke.

I'm actually okay with the Packers not drafting a player who punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach/choked her.
It was today that I realized the #Packers drafted Trevor Davis two spots before Tyreek Hill.

Is it possible that Eric Stokes is getting back to form? . Big test coming up on Sunday.
#Packers CB Eric Stokes since the bye: . 6 catches allowed and 22 receiving yards (long of 5!) on 14 targets into his coverage. Gave up a TD in Detroit, and he still doesn't have a PBU, but his coverage grade at PFF (80.5) ranks as the 4th best among CBs since Week 11.

Still fired up about Evan Williams landing in Green Bay.

Zach Tom is one of the most versatile OL in this draft. 37-game starter. 23 at LT, 14 at C. Easy athleticism, doesn't labor moving to the second level. Quick feet. High football IQ. Doesn't get fooled by stunts/twists. Great depth pick up front for the Packers.

The Packers are 9-3 & barring an epic collapse are on the verge of being back in the playoffs after a 2-year hiatus. All this w/a 1st-year HC. I could care less if they get bounced early in the playoffs. This team has holes, but Gutey will fill them this offseason Enjoy the now.

I'd really like this draft class that @dpbrugler put together for the Packers. JPJ, Cooper and Bullock would all likely Day 1 starters. D-Rob would be in that DL rotation and causing havoc. Worth noting that last year Dane mocked L. Musgrave, D. Wicks and C. Valentine to GB.

1. The year after Green Bay selected Aaron Rodgers they selected Greg Jennings in the second round. The following year they selected James Jones. The next year they selected Jordy Nelson in the second and J-Fin in the 3rd. It's possible Gutekunst follows the same blue print.
