Watch this: Today its sunny; hence tomorrow it will be sunny! [Next day its sunny] See, I'm a weather genius!

I'm the guy who asks "why?" Why did it rain today? Ahh, then i discover I can look at the weather one state west, and get it right more often. Oh and then I can see how highs and lows are measures and move to get even further accuracy, etc., etc., etc.

If you pigeon hole your thinking to 6th round pick = 2-3 year project/probably will never be, fine. But, at least understand your opinion is as weighty as the "weather genius" above; you should not even try to plan any picnics. Obviously if he was better Kofi would have been picked higher, I mean duh, right? BUT...

Tausher, Bahktieri and Whittiker [7th, 4th, 7th rnd respectively] weren't supposed to start either; but each started coming out of camp; 2 were/are pretty damn good players. Thank god 1265 doesn't use the pigeon-holed thinking of the "weather genius."

Perhaps a more spot-on example: In 1995 GB drafted Timmerman at G in 7th. GB had an aging Galbreath starting at G and he went down after 1st playoff game. Next man up: rookie Timmerman going against SFs great DTs in Bryant Young and Dana Stubblefield and he was magnificent.

So I ask why? Why can Tauscher et al do it and not Kofi? If Evans goes down at end of season will Kofi be able to step in like Timmerman?

Kofi put on 5-10 lbs prior to combine and still showed great athleticism; so he's big enough for Center still a bit light for G. Here's what my data tells you: Kofi uses his hands well, great feet, powerful explosive blocker. So why wasn't he drafted day 1 or 2? Let's go to data: He cant anchor well and he doesn't keep his weight centered on his V frame.

If Kofi learns to play with his weight centered over his base, he will anchor better too. If he improves these 2 areas during camp and can put on another 8-10 lbs w/o losing athleticism and if he has the football acumen to learn the blocking schemes; he can be a serviceable starter at G game 1, and he might be pretty good by end of year. The same applies to Kofi playing Center, but doesn't need the extra weight.

If you care why he is or not starting/contributing making the roster ya gotta look at a lot more than a 40 time and draft position.

BTW, I think this little exercise can be applied in any aspect of life's issues! People should be curious and ask why and not just rely on a morsel of info or blindly adsorb propaganda crap inundating them by, for example, the corporate media. That is being the typical American as described by Roger Ailes in his 318-page report to Nixon [A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News].

I'm sorry but I don't need to watch 100's of plays to know that a 6th round pick is A) probably was not drafted to be a starter out of the gate and 😎 is probably not as polished as someone drafted several rounds earlier. Like I said, circumstances could change that and he may be forced to start but I think if Ted was looking for a starting guard he would have addressed the situation earlier than the 6th round and I doubt it would have been Kofi Amichia. I think that pretty much anyone with enough talent to be drafted could potentially be a starter, maybe not a star but a serviceable one at least. Whether or not that happens in their first year is another story.

Your a guy content to know you that when you flip the switch up the light goes on and there's no need to find out WHY; I'm not.

So let me leave you with 2 suggestions: (1) don't belittle someone tries to learn WHY; and if one day the switch dont think you can fix it, call someone who has asked WHY.

Again your ultimate conclusion opinion of the typical 6th round pick is valid,as all opinions are, and probably will prove correct; but it's something that Trump and the second dumbest person already know. Thank you for your input; but everyone on this board already knew that.

Next tell us how you believe Kofi has a penis or that the sun will set on Kofi tomorrow in the west no matter where it's at. Though you'd be correct again; it'd be ignorant to "contribute" this in a discussion forum.

You're taking on the role of UFFDA. He could look at one published 40 time in underwear and be 100% PURPOSEFULLY ignorant about everything else, including how fast he has been in underwear at other times and how fast he is on the field in pads, and predict how the person will do. It's perfectly silly.

You believe all 6th rounders got there the same way; but if you watched 100s of plays of the 6th round picks you'd know that there are 38 ways the 2017 6th rounders got there. You mentioned they're all inconsistent; well Ricky Elmore was incredibly consistent and magnificent large school college player. Dorsey Levens was lost on depth chart transferred, lost on depth chart again and gained 800 yards after injuries to RBs ahead of him gave him a shot. Terrell Davis has a similar story plus an injury history. Starks was a small school guy with injuries. Brady was non athletic and not very productive given his weapons. David Martin was a big not greatly productive slow WR and someone thought a change of position gave him a chance. Johnny Jolly was a 1-2nd round pick after his Soph year and then his play dropped as a Jr and Sr. Scott McGarrhan was a marvelous college player at a small school with poor measurables; Pierre Garcon was a Div 3 player; Antonio Bryant was a small school walk-on that was still leanring how to play WR...etc.

So you argue that can come to know what Ted knows about Kofi, just by looking at his draft #; you would be exceedingly wrong and a damn shame you don't have the ability to see that.

This guy was a 6th round pick and he will have a chance to develop for the Packers and that is all that matter to me. If he is called on to start I hope he is up to the task but me watching 100's of plays will do nothing to alter the outcome whatever it may be. Its something you obviously enjoy so fine but I have better ways to use my time although you wouldn't know it given my continued participation in this pointless thread. Something I will try to remedy from this point forward.

If they are getting paid reasonably well, then it makes sense. Otherwise, more important things to do! But I suppose that's what happens when you have young kids.
