The Green Bay Packers' strangest pick of the 2016 draft was Cal receiver Trevor Davis. We now have some idea of what they were thinking. Here's how it breaks down.
The post Unraveling the Mystery of the Trevor Davis Pick appeared first on Total Packers.

I haven't seen anyone write he isn't NFL ready, and any 5th rounder will have that question mark surrounding them anyway.

He has speed, decent size, relatively big hands, and heretofore I haven't heard issues about his route running. He looks versatile, being able to run bubble screens and appears capable of playing outside too.

I'm not saying he's Jerry Rice, but considering he's a 5th round pick, what's not to like?

Which of our WRs are still practice squad candidates?

Well he looks pretty fast and they say he has good hands. If he's smart enough to learn the route tree he's a worthwhile project.

O come on. If you don't know that Trevor Davis was Drafted to return Kicks and Punts, then some of you need to wake up. Read this players BIO, it's obvious.

And who knows how bad Monty's ankle was. Bigby's ankle was apparently broken and weather not reported or not diagnosed as such. Can Monty be the same? I hope that ankle injury doesn't cost him his explosion, because he was looking like he could be special.

Count me as someone who's worried Ty's injury will hold him back in terms of developing. I really hope that's not the case. He's a great kid, but even if he can't play moving forward, which is the worst case scenario, he has the right attitude.

dfosterf (4h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (4h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (5h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (6h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
