Is that he seems to like tall dudes.

Now I for one have felt like the taller you are; and being able to still be athletic had a definite advantage when it comes to playing ball (especially when catching or throwing or guarding the catcher (although there are exceptions).

So Brian Gutekunst (what are we calling him btw? groot? - went out and decided to pay JG the highest paid TE in the league; even thou he is aging and well doesnt have the stats to match being paid the highest (still bent out of shape on that one; and ya we lost jordy). So he is one tall sob.

Then we drafted 3 WRs that are all 6'3+ (well somehow they all inflate their height when it comes to the draft but lets just say they are tall. Ted Thompson used to draft shorter dudes and I never thought they would work as well. (again there are exceptions). (montgomery happens to be my favorite WR but they moved him to freakin rb); although quite impressed with adams too.

Same goes for TEs; Finley and Cook were tall and athletic and did really well here; while the other TEs that we seemed to draft in the past or pick up were shorter. And ya didnt do so well ... not talking about bennett; attitude and catching ability play here <<<

Id be curious how these new recruits work on the field and if they can stick around. Be nice to have a few tall WRs on our team.

Never know we might get a megatron out of the bunch.

Aaron is getting older and he need bigger catch radius targets for his WR's and TE's. That's why we got a giant at TE now in free agency.

The one thing I noticed with our new GM, was that he always went after athletes first...

BG went after a ton of raw, under developed athletes, huge ceilings and huge floors... going hard after the "draft and develop" as well as the "boom or bust" concepts... which might be partly why he grabbed 3 WRs... as the odds suggest at least one will bust. But these guys have a ton of raw pure talent, but they need a lot of coaching to refine their game, from great athletes, to great football players.

Ted Thompson would normally go after more developed football players.

But I think this article did a very good job of pointing out that BG went after guys that really stood out from a raw athletic prospective with great combine/pro-day numbers for someone from their position.

Brian Gutekunst plan and vision for the roster during his tenure was made transparently through his first draft. A scouting report could be done for every pick with one word: Athlete. Lets first take a look at each, day one pick’s RAS. RAS stands Relative Athletic Score and was created by Kent lee Plate (@mathbomb). RAS is a scale that measures a player’s athleticism vs others at the same position, in an easy to understand scale of 1-10. Green is good. Anything in the 9’s is great. And as you can see all three picks are in the 9’s. There is a blend of speed, length, quickness and leaping ability. This coupled with last years 2nd round picks Kevin King and Josh Jones the Packers have a core of athletes on the back end of the defense. Not to mention veterans Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, who are tremendous athletes as well.

Burks' and Moore's numbers had the most red... and really Burks was just weight and bench press... which if the Packers want him to fix, they probably can (though they might want him to be a Safety/LB hybird and stay light). And Moore's red, is just poor 40 yard times... which he looks faster on film.

Goot is an analytics guy. Ted was more of a “football” guy.

Or so it seems.
