Bruce Irons WR comments before the draft 


These are the only guys I would trust in the 1st round.

Christian Watson – Another high ceiling player, Watson is raw, but overflowing with potential. If he realizes it all, he could be the best receiver to come out of this class.

George Pickens – Great size with good routes and hands, Pickens has some character concerns, but looks like a great fit for Green Bay otherwise.
Here’s who I like later:

David Bell – A big bodied receiver who runs great routes and has clamps for hands.

Alec Pierce – Another big receiver who manipulates defenders with his routes and makes circus catches.

Jalen Tolbert – A big deep threat who is physical in the open field and looked like the best receiver at the Senior Bowl.

Tyquan Thorton – a 6’1 version of MVS, but a little faster.

Danny Gray – A speedster who dominated the Senior Bowl.

Justyn Ross – A talented big receiver whose stock dropped one year removed from a major neck injury.

Velus Jones, Jr – A nice deep threat, but I’m more excited about his ability to return kicks and punts.

For the most part, I think guys like Skyy Moore, Calvin Austin, and maybe even Jahan Dotson are too small for the Packers this year. They are an offense that values size and most of their current receivers are already on the small size.

Justyn Ross is a guy I wouldn't mind us taking a flyer on depending on how far he drops. Not a fan of drafting injured guys, but when he was healthy he looked great.

I have a credible source telling me that this is a photo of NFL wide receiver prospect George Pickens. This could have a huge impact on this draft. I’m hearing that all teams other than the Chicago Bears have taken him off their boards.


Go Packers!!!!

Players in the earlier eras were so lucky that phones and social media wasn't available. Do I want my players to do drugs and be idiots? No, but I know a lot of these guys probably self-medicate. Even if fake as Zero pointed out I just think we selectively ignore reality that most of these guys exist in pain. Is it better to get hooked on legal painkilllers like Favre?

.Not unless Tunsil lost 150 lbs.

Regardless, he is a DA and will likely frustrate the hell out of AR12 and be useless for 2 years. I would highly prefer Watson and/or the TE from Colorado State.
Go Packers!!!!

wpr (20h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (23h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (23h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
