So who do you think will be inactive on Sunday?

Watson WR
Jones OT
Wilson RB
Anderson S
Are easier ones.
Need 1 more.
Cox EDGE possible. I don't think they need 6 even if Gary is on a snap count.
Ben Sims TE? That would make them short at TE. Kraft has struggled in RC and Deguara is Deguara. But Sims has not been on the team very long.
Brooks DE They don't need 5 DL.
Longer shot would be to cut back on the OL. Another T like Walker or G Rhyan.

I think they will go with Sims as #5 and then Rhyan as well bringing up DuBose.

Also, don't forget the Packers act elevate two guys off the PS, and the PS has a ton of STs.

So my guess...

Watson WR
Jones OT
Rhyan OG (or Newman OG)
Wilson RB
Sims TE

If they elevate some PS guys, then maybe
OLB Cox
S Anderson

But I thought I read Anderson was a pretty good STer, and Cox has looked better than expected on STs for a rookie that wasn't expected to have much speed. And a lot of STers on the PS.

Vikings offense is similar to ours. Sims might be sufficiently up to speed. I like his Musgrave-like skill set.

And if he actually had Musgrave's skillet he wouldn't of been released as an extremely cheap rookie. A 40 time doesn't make a skill set. And his college film, that 40 times doesn't show up much.

Draft Projection
Priority free agent

Overview
Tight end with average size and talent as a run blocker but the tools to get a little better in that area. Baylor frequently used Sims as a wingback who was asked to base block, lead block and get into space on outside zone. As a pass-catcher, he lacks separation talent and is going to get what is given to him by the defense. Sims’ average traits mean he will likely need to be in a favorable situation to make a roster.

Strengths
Counted on to block in Baylor run game.

Patient fitting up into centered positioning as a run blocker.

Size, tools and willingness to become a more consistent blocker with work.

Confident hands-catcher.

Works the middle of the field and catches through contact.

Can deliver a heavy blow to tacklers during run after catch.

Weaknesses
Slow to stop and settle into catch-ready positioning as a receiver.

Not much separation quickness and will wear man coverage.

Frequently late getting off the snap.

Brings helmet before hands as run blocker.

Needs to bring feet under him to prevent falling off the block.

Newman positive plays are better than Rhyan, but Newman's negative plays are worse than Rhyan (mainly due bad mental errors which draw flags).

Physical Newman can absolutely play in the NFL... but something happened to the guy mentally. This is purely wild guessing, but his play seems like he doesn't trust his abilities anymore and he's mentally psyching himself out, which then he makes errors. I don't know how to fix that, other than force him to have success. Which I don't know how to do other than lining him up against guys you know he can beat.

Also, something else I don't fully understand, Rhyan was having success basically against everyone in the pass rush drills in practice. But that absolutely did not translate to the preseason games... I'm wondering why.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (23h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (23h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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
