I don't know what to make of some of his picks, but he did get some good players. Though there was no question he let need play a big part of his decision making, I'm left wondering how often this really does happen.

I absolutely hated our C and CB picks, but what do I know? I felt we had far better options at those selection points. Also felt we had BAL, PIT and ARI in front of us nabbing many of our targets

Wrapping this up, we landed the best S in Clinton-Dix and the most productive WR in the draft in Adams, who looks like a Sterling Sharpe clone to me. We hit on a NT/DT/DE prospect we have to simply trust will be good. Added one of the most productive TEs in the draft with the best YAC, and exceptional cut blocking skills. Adding the OLB Bradford was interesting. He does play with abandon and was effective. Abbrederis and Janis make us one of the deepest WR groups in the NFL. Abby also doubles as a reliable KR.

I feel we are still deficient at both ILB and NT, and that we could have found a better CB prospect. Hoping this is not the case. Thought our D could have been bolstered a bit better.

Now it is up to the coaches to maximize the talent these players have.

It isn't preeminent but to compare Sharpe and Adams is one of the oddest things I think I've ever heard. The reps on the bench by Adams weren't overly impressive. He can jump and has good hands...those appear to be his calling cards. I don't think he's very gifted in the speed domain at all. He looks sluggish to me. He said he's never been caught. I watched one of his highlight reels where someone did just that. What should've been a 90+ yard TD ended with him being tackled at the opposing 30. Wind it to about :35 in.

at :35 in the guy who tackles him is Quinton Byrd who ran a 4.3 40 time. The fact that Adams even got that much separation to begin with is impressive. Not many human beings are that fast.

Really cool.

As for my Sharpe comparison with Davante Adams, it is based purely on his cut and stature. Spitting image of Sterling Sharpe to my eyes. I believe Adams will prove to be a far better player in time. I really wish they had given the kid the 84, but he will certainly make his own mark.

I disagree with you uffda. I believe he will rival the best WRs ever to put on a Packers uniform.

With Adams' ability to come down with nearly every ball thrown his way, and Aaron Rodgers in the very prime of his career, I can see these two putting together some epic numbers as QB/WR for as long as they are together. I'm thinking All-Pro and maybe more for the kid. Just my early perspective on the pick, and it is fine if you think differently. No worries. Believe me when I say I was preferring Latimer too at the time.
