[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 492569"] I think he's worth discussing. First, the negatives. He's best remembered for having dropped 30%+ of his targets his rookie year. That's not a misprint. Some may remember him dropping 3 balls against us in 2011. There's some concern he's not mastered even the rudiments of route running...kind of a "go run fast toward the big tree" kind of guy. And having been in Oakland, he's suffered from a dysfunctional organization and poor coaching. In short, he's a first round bust of the first order. Now the pluses. He'll be cheap. I can't imagine interest in FA being much more than James Jones received. After dropping 3 balls against us, he went out the next week and put up a career best 155 yds. against Detroit. His drop percent has gone down steadily since his rookie year to around a tolerable 10% (about what Jennings, Cobb and Finley put up last year). The guy can take the top off a defense, and there lies the value. We had a lot of trouble with cover 2 zone last year. I think a big part of that was defenses not respecting our WRs long speed while cheating toward the intermediate middle where Rodgers has been known to make a lot of hay. I think a guy like DH-B out there in some 4 and 5 WR sets adds a needed dimension. It may seem like a small point, but getting those safeties to take two steps back and over can make a significant difference. Rodgers does not suffer bad route running well, and God help you if it causes a pick. We'd find out in a hurry what the guy can offer. No guaranteed money on this one. I don't know if DH-B is the answer, but we need a long speed guy, now or in the draft. [/QUOTE]
