For FAs I like Golden Tate and John Brown...

Disguising what plays that are to be run will be a strong part of what LaFleur's offensive system is about. It does not however eliminate bigger/faster receivers who catch the deep balls for large chunks of yardage. Nor does it preclude a slot receiver or running back catching passes for short gains In addition look for more running plays too and All from the same offensive set. Also look for the TE to be more of a blocker than GB has been used to seeing.

The Rams offense is what LaFleur will be emulating, but also look for LaFleur to add his own twist to make it a unique team offense. The McVey/Shanahan Offense would have worked better last year for the 49ers had it not been for key injuries, but look for SF to be more competitive next year. GB should find it easy to install the new offensive sys. The HC, his Staff, and the GM will I'm sure fill/replace any positions that they feel will be needed to give the Packers a better chance to win moving forward.

IMO, with the new O System in mind, GB will need to look very hard at getting an Offensive Tackle. I like Bulaga, but he does get hut and miss games. I'd be looking for one in the Free Agents/upcoming draft class.

I've not forgotten that GB needs a great new Edge Rusher, so the GM is going to be a busy fellow.

I mean yeah, Quez and EQ are pretty good. They will probably be able to line up on the perimeter and get it done. But that hasn't been proven consistently, yet.

Why does that exclude him from being a slot receiver, though? Greg Jennings was the big go to guy in '08 and '09, Nelson had not really shown anything yet and James Jones was his below average self. The only other guy we had was Driver, really. But that didn't stop us from lining up Jennings in the slot quite a bit.

Next to that, I don't know if the slot position is still a position that's manned by a shifty 5'10 guy who runs a 5 yard route in today's NFL. Some of the best slot guys last year were Adam Thielen, Smith-Schuster and Tyler Boyd. Those guys are all 6'1, 200+ possesion receivers who don't really blow you away with their physical attributes.

That's exactly what Davante could be.

Especially if MVS takes another step and flies along the boundries at 6'4, 210 with 4.35-4.40 speed and one of the other young guys emerges. Or we go receiver in the draft early and get a guy like Parris Campbell. Then you're pretty much set at the position.

Of course, that's a lot of what-ifs, but I don't see us spending (a lot) of money at the position, looking at our current roster and other holes.

No one around here knows the college kids as well as you Rocky. Who is the best route running, sure handed receiver available? If he has half way decent speed that is someone they can work with.

Kelvin Harmon?

I would be disappointed, assuming my limited understanding of the cap is correct, his money could be used elsewhere, unlike Perry's.
