Lol your hoping that our QB pick invested QB doesn’t make the roster when we literally have no decent back up…. Must be a bears fan
That's funnyI’ve got a workmate that follows Penn State closely. He’s running around here telling everyone that Love can pack his bags an go home this kid from Penn State will beat him out. What’s funny is my coworker is normally quiet and mundane. It’s like he took Speed when he heard me say the Packers selected him!
He’s making phone calls.
But yeah I wanted DTR or Malik Cunningham as a late round QB prospect to kick the tires on... Clifford is underwhelming at best but I am not seeing a Kirk Cousins ascension out of him so not gonna get too worked up about the pick IIWII...

Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
I don't remember the numbers, but there have been a record # of QB's selected to this point. Have to guess that the Packers wanted a QB, makes sense. Clifford was the next highest on their board and they didn't want to lose him.
No-Sean Clifford just doesn't impress as a football player. He has no trait to make me interested in him as a pro. I would have actually been more accepting of us reaching in the 4th for Aidan O'Connell than drafting Clifford-dude is an UDFA IMHO. But I don't get paid to make those choices so like I said IIWII...

Don't read more into this than what I'm saying, but as prospects Wicks and Davante Adams are very similar. Athletically, they're close. They have many of the same strengths and weaknesses. Now Adams' development was a best case scenario-- there's very little chance that Wicks could do that. And his drop issues could wash him out entirely. But I think it's reasonable that he could become a WR4 who is ready to give you quality snaps on occasion.

J'Mon Moore is also a very close athletic comp, so there's your downside! Lol.

It fits the 2023 Packers. " Love Will Keep us Together. " And " We've Only Just Begun. "

I just don’t see it with him. The upside is not there. His decision making and accuracy were awful in 2021 and improved slightly in 2022. Don’t think he would’ve been drafted if it wasn’t for us. I feel like Hall or McKee have higher upside, but what the hell do I know lol

Higgins was announced as a TE. Probably were not going to select their 3rd guy.
He's has F player potential that would've been a perfect upgrade over Deguara

Deguara is an H/Lead Blocker.

One thing about Clifford that I have read/heard several times today is that he is a good game manager. Which is pretty much what you want in your backup. You want a guy that can step in, if Love goes down and be comfortable. His big knock is his inconsistency. I guess that is why he was the 11th QB taken in this draft. Potential, but needs to become more consistent.
Technically while an F TE is different than an H-back there can be enough overlaps to warrant letting Higgins take over those responsibilities
It doesn't matter anyways-Miami got him and MLF is prolly gonna try to finally feature Deguara as his version of the 49ers' Juice lol...

That only works if the play actually has lead blocking skills.

Pick #207 is in: Packers select
Anders Carlson K, AUBURN
Height: 6-5, Weight: 218Deguara really isn't a mauler of a blocker if we're being technical

Lead blocking isn't about mauling. It's about being able to locate assignments, engage, and occupy/seal.
He has those skills.
Was never a fan of Deguara/don't see him as a valuable part of the offense
Is there a possibility that could change this season-yes for obvious reasons
My point was that Higgins would have been a more valuable TE than Deguara on our roster if we would have drafted him-we didn't so IIWII...
