    Backed Into A Corner?

    #33 is a pretty good RB.

    Backed Into A Corner?

    Darnold will benefit some from having Jefferson & Hockenson to throw to, but he is at most the third best quarterback in this division, and possibly the fourth depending on how quickly Caleb Williams develops in Chicago. The Lions are the team to worry about, IMHO.

    I don't see any. It's a low-risk deal. The Packers needed a back-up swing tackle, and Dillard was available. If it works out, fine. If it doesn't, no big deal. It's as simple as that.

    Packers to Play in Brazil

    I agree. This is pretty low on my list of things to worry about.

    Packers to Play in Brazil

    I agree. It is also helpful that it is in the same hemisphere with respect to time zones. And that Green Bay is considered the road team.

    Deguara was at least useful, although not what you hoped for in a third-rounder.

    I agree, they turned out not to be great picks, although two of them are hanging on (barely) in the NFL. Last season they were able to get Reed & Wicks, also Heath and Melton as free agents. The year before they drafted Watson, Doubs & Toure. Maybe there's a learning curve...He seems to be...

    Sometimes you get a fourth-round bust (Moore) and sometimes you get a seventh-round steal (Carrington Valentine & Rasheed Walker). On balance, I think Gutey has done a better-than-average job.

    My guess is that the Pack is more likely to move down than up, but one never knows with Gutey.

    Both Hyde and Hayward played quite well for Green Bay. Yiadom may be hanging on after several teams have let him go, but he's been a blip on the NFL radar. I don't see the coaching as a major issue.

    Carrington Valentine looks like a seventh-round steal, it will be interesting to see how he develops. If Eric Stokes could just stay healthy the Packer's secondary could be in pretty good shape next season.

    They were indeed forgettable. At the time Green Bay had let Casey Hayward and Micah Hyde walk in free agency...Both went on to have success with other teams. The Pack kept chasing their replacements in the draft without success. Every GM, even the good ones, make moves they later regret. I...

    What made you a Packers fan?

    I'm your senior by 11 years...I also remember JJ, along with Lofton, Epps and Coffman...****ey had him some weapons. Too bad our defense wasn't better. I remember a lot of 8-8 seasons.

    Yes, I also love the McKinney signing...A position of need, a guy a lot of teams were likely targeting, and Gutey stepped up and got it done. That's a win. Resigning Nixon was another move I liked. If they can add another player or two (maybe a starting guard or more secondary help) I'd be...

    Okay, his one year in a Raiders jersey wasn't a total zero, but it wasn't great either: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/player/jordy-nelson-15081/career-stats And he was done as soon as it was over. It was the right time for Green Bay to move on. I don't know what the future holds for Aaron...
