[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 864012, member: 12283"] Exactly-- you have no tape to base that on. You're saying that he CAN do something else because you've noticed what he CAN'T do. It's like me watching a receiver who struggles with drops and deciding he can play corner and saying I'm basing it on "tape." Given how many needs the Packers have to address, and relative limitations to their cap and draft resources, spending 7M+ on a shot in the dark is not even close to worthy. If Gutekunst did that, he should be relieved of his position. That's utterly irresponsible. And he absolutely can do worse than Blake Martinez. Way worse. I'm not fan of Martinez, nor do I want him back, but there's a good chance that Beasley straight up just can't play the position. Instincts, awareness, and ability to read and react are paramount at this spot. You can't assume that a guy has those things based on height/weight/speed metrics. Lastly-- you're saying to move him to off ball linebacker because he isn't a fit at edge, and now you're saying that if he doesn't work out at off ball you can just move him back to edge. He would have the exact same issues at 34OLB in our defense that he's had on the edge for Atlanta. You're talking in circles. [/QUOTE]
