[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 554951, member: 5535"] Listening to McGinn's latest podcast it's obvious that he thinks that a) Shazier and Pryor and Mosley were the impact picks, and that Clinton-Dix is ok, but he's not enough of a hitter like Pryor is, nor like Deonne Buccanon whom he probably liked the most of all the safeties, and b) badassness and speed are what he thinks will make the difference, and neither Dix nor Adams have enough of that. He just doesn't think much of any of our other picks in terms of having an impact. Whatever you say about McGinn, his perspective is pretty clear: he thinks that the Packers lack speed and toughness, especially on defense, and he doesn't see how that's been helped much by this draft. And I do have to give him credit for his assessment of Packer draftees in years past. He wasn't very thrilled about the Perry and Worthy picks because both of them, especially Worthy, did not display a high motor, and Worthy especially took plays off. I don't remember what he said about Datone Jones, but I don't recall him being that enthused. So he's been right enough that you can't ignore him, and a lot of the info he uses comes from talking to scouts. I'm not sure I agree with him this time around. One interesting point he made was about TT's view that big hitting safeties are not the way to go because they end up getting injured, and in the modern NFL, they end up getting penalized. This was TT's way of putting Dix over Pryor. McGinn questioned this, citing Seattle's badass boys in the secondary as an example. At least he's not a TT fanboi, but whether or not he's representing TT's view accurately or not, I can't say. [/QUOTE]
