Should Packers get TE Vernon Davis? NEVERMIND

Vernon Davis is on the wrong side of 30 (31) and could still have some speed and is in the final year of his contract. Although, he hasn't caught a TD since Week 1 of the 2014 season I believe. Even that being said, I wouldn't mind shoving off a late round pick for him because let's face it, Richard Rodgers may have already hit his ceiling. I know, I know, it's way too soon to say that on a player who's only played about 20 games, but I just don't see any week to week improvements with him.

Rodgers play has also made us miss Andrew Quarless. Quarless was able to stretch the middle a little bit at least.

What price do you feel is FAIR for both squads to do a trade to send Davis to the Packers? Yes, unlikely, I know, you know, so lets avoid that and play fantasyland! 😃

Yes. Quarless sucks, and while Rodgers is developing, he's nowhere near as fast and can't stretch the field. Vernon is also a better blocker.

I'd prefer to give up a 4th, but since we'll probably pick 30th, I wouldn't mind giving up a 3rd. That's what we got Finley with anyway.

I would pass on Davis in preference of Boldin.

We don't need another WR. We drafted like 4 in the last two years and are already paying two a boatload of money.

If the Packers are to trade for a WR, I really believe it needs to be a guy who has some wheels to put some fear into defenses. This is why in my other thread I said they need to get Jeff Janis on the field and use his one trick pony ass. I think Janis running deep is going to pull some defenders back a little freeing up some drag routes or crossing routes.

boldin would be cheap also.

I like Vernon Davis (assuming he is healthy) in the sense that he can throw a chip block AND still has the speed to get down field. The current TE's don't have that combination therefore don't have the defenses respect.

I like Vernon, but I'd rather see Mike hire a shrink.

dfosterf (22h) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (22h) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
