Good news G&G!

Gunter played good CB in college, of course the feeling amongst 32GMs is that it wasn't going to transfer to NFL. He played some safety and covered some TEs as well as outside CB.

This is a real nice UDFA signing and "I call" that this is a 7th rounder for Ted Thompson in draft prowess if Gunter becomes another Miami UDFA stud.

I don't mind picking up tweeners. I don't like picking tweeners in first and second round.

This signing I like. I thought he might go as high as early 6th.

At 220 lbs I am not sure if he has the size to play ILB.

I mean, I don't know that much about the guy, but losing track of the ball, 4.69 speed, tight hips and aggressive... When he wouldn't be getting burned, he'd be a DPI machine.

I really like that idea. Also with Bush not being resigned (at least not yet), Richardson is the Packers #1 ST gunner.

And some would say you need more speed to play Safety than CB (especially depending on the scheme) because at Safety you're starting away from everyone, and need quickness and speed to get to them, where at CB you're already near your guy and can use bump and run skills to help stick with a guy.

It's like Al Harris, I think he ran a decent time as a rookie, but towards the end of his career he clearly wasn't the fastest guy but used great bump and run skills to stick with his guy normally and the same can be said about Tramon Williams.

If they keep Hyde at S (and don't resign Bush), I think Gunter and Glover-Wright compete for the 6th CB spot.
