They'll line him up in the backfield and get him the ball in the flat, with some open field blocking ahead of him. Kind of get the feeling Mike wants to experiment with speed.

Also seems to me they want to challenge Janis.

Competition for the last 2 or 3 WR spots is going to be intense.

Just like it should be.

KKinda glad The Packers have that extra preseason game, will give the drafted and udfa (we will find out soon who they are) guys an extra game to show their stuff.

This kid is a Donald Driver type steal.
Good speed, good return man, very good at back shoulder catches.
Keep an eye on this guy over the next few years.

What I don't get, for a WR who will undoubtedly top out at the 4th/5th WR slot, why not take the German dude and see if he turns out to be anything.

There was a new article saying that Rams agreed to draft Michael Sam as a deal with the league.

http://590thefan.com/league-made-deal-with-rams-to-draft-sam 

As much as the NFL Network were telling us that the Drafting of the German dude was not a gimmick. I remember distinctly the same type of league shill for Michael Sam. The league is all about money and having this German dude creates a buzz where football is a very low priority is $$$ for the league and advertisers.

I hope he makes it, but with all this strange media about the Michael Sam deal with the Rams it is hard to think we might not be being played in some weird marketing agenda.

OK tinfoil hat off.

A very superficial look at this pick tells me the Packers are expecting more from Janis on offense this year and they may want him off the kick return duties. Assuming all our injured WRs return at full strength my guess is Adams or Abbredaris will be odd man out. My money is on Abbredaris.


Then again we all may be reading too much into the big picture. It could be that Ted and Mike have no special plans for this guy and he was just a player that they really liked at that spot and they will let the chips fall where they may.

This Trevor Davis ... I know nothing about, other than he's supposed to be fast.

dfosterf (9h) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (12h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (13h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (13h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (16h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
