This Jaxon Smith-Njigba guy didn't even play much last season. And when he did he wasn't effective. Apparently he missed the brunt of the season from ... oh you will LOVE this one ... hamstring injury? Do we really wanna burn up 13th overall on a hamstring injury WR? Do we not have enough soft tissue injuries already? I think Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson both missed games from hamstring injuries.

And you're saying that Watson and Doubs arent as good as Olave and Wilson and that Njigba wouldn't thrive thanks to those two? Oh ye of little faith! 🤔😉

Got a lot of stats even though those two other guys got theirs. Something to be said for that.

I expect them to trade down, but if they make a selection, there's likelihood it might be a T. Thing is, they got Cobe Jones and Rasheed Walker, maybe the team's not optimistic about those two.

Also not sure if they're thinking of trading Bakhtiari. But if they're thinking of that, a T would be more likely.

I don't think WR at 13 is ideal for Packers. If they take WR, I hope to be wrong. (Usually, I am when it comes to draft analysis before draft!)

I don't think so either tbh, esp a WR who's primarily a slot guy. Feels like if you're drafting a WR this high he needs to be able to do it all from inside and out.

It worked with Jennings/Jones/Nelson as the boundary guys and Cobb in the slot. Though Cobb was a late 2nd round pick, so maybe that isn't a great example.

Edit: I just read Kevin's post about the hamstring injury. At 13 that's gonna be a hard no from me.

I'm feeling this Jaxon kid is inevitible and trying to talk myself into it. I see he was the Rose Bowl MVP so I went hmm how he do in that game? It was still over a year ago, but Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson did not play in that game and Jaxon still lit it up.

ProFootballFocus has less than 15 WR's in the top 100.

For the Packers scheme, I like Mingo as he's a large slot WR and this scheme usually has a good large slot WR or receiving TE, I'm expecting Gute to grab a receiver (WR or TE) that can play the middle of the field well.

Wilson might be a top 100 player when healthy, but he couldn't stay healthy in college and plays a very physical style of football, so I think he'll drop a good bit due to lack of available in college.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (5h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (7h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
