Who's gonna breakout?· Page 2

That would be interesting... I'm having enough trouble trying to guess who the back-up TEs for the Packers 53 roster will be... Bostick will make that even toughter.

I thinking

Finley = starter
Mulligan = blocking
Taylor = ST

and maybe one more...

But
Quarless hasn't been able to stay healthy lately.
Williams has all the tools but hasn't been able to put them together.
Bostick is basically a large raw WR who struggles to block (as a TE, as a WR he might be a good blocker, IDK)
And some other interesting guys...

Or would they go with 3 or 5 TEs? Mike McCarthy has said he likes TE and LB for STs.

He is our only other TE Receiving Threat besides Finley. I'm not gonna get on him for those drops last week, they were both in heavy coverage. He's actually not a horrible blocker. He made a beautiful diving catch last week too. I think they give him another chance, why not right?

The 4th TE(I only think they'll only keep 4) will come down to Quarless, Taylor, and Bostick. I have a feeling it's going to be Quarless. Despite the injuries, I think they give him one last chance, I think if he recovers next week and plays next week, he makes the team.

While you might give Williams a pass for his drops, I don't... and I think I read he lead the Packers in drop rate last year, so it's something he needs to improve on.

You're right Williams blocking isn't bad, but nether is Qualress or Taylor blocking and Miulligan is the #1 blocker right now.

When healthy Quarless has been as good at better than Williams as a receiving treat and Bostick is a large WR.

And then Taylor seems to be very good on STs.

They all got their weakness... one or two of them need to step up if they want to earn their spot.

I'm not saying Williams is light years ahead of the others but I just don't see any other options. Taylor isn't the greatest Special Teamer ever. He also never plays offense, I want my TEs playing offense. Right now it comes down to Williams and Quarless vs Taylor and Bostick.

I personally think we are going to drop one TE in favor of keeping an extra FB.

Williams is pretty small for the position, I think his value has been that he can play lead-blocker as well, which is why we have only carried 1 FB for a while.

Though he did show some great skills at Arkansas, he is not particularly athletic. That said, I think he is probably safer than the next two..

Taylor hasn't done much of anything

Quarless is coming off a nasty injury

With the top 2 TEs already locked in, I just don't see why we would carry so many TEs when their ST value (and roster spot) could be allocated elsewhere where we are deeper with talent.

(I know I've been banging the drum for this guy)
I think we keep Amosa on as an extra FB and special teamer.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
