[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 876972, member: 12283"] Maybe? If Gutekunst had passed on Love for a WR, say Michael Pittman Jr, I agree that there's a really good chance that Pittman probably would have started across from Adams and would have made a big impact right away. He seems fairly pro ready to me. After that, I'm not so sure about your statement. I kind of doubt it. I'm not sure who the player is that would start immediately. Maybe Josh Jones at OT? But then, there must be a reason that he went from a 1st round projection to being taken at #72 overall. The entire league passed on WR from pick #59 until pick #80, and again from pick #92 until pick #128. I don't see any linebackers who would have taken Kirksey's job, and given how the defense operates. the LB2 on the roster could end up playing less than Dillon. Allowing that they're ready to take on their roles, Dillon and Deguara could realistically combine for 1,000 snaps or more on offense this season. And then you add to that whatever they contribute on special teams. They're very similar picks to the Vikings' last year-- they took Irv Smith Jr, an H-back, in the 2nd, and Alexander Mattison, a power RB, to pair with Cook in the 3rd. So basically just an inverse of what Green Bay did. Smith Jr. played a total 752 snaps, 612 on offense and 140 on special teams. Mattison's 16 game pace was 242 snaps. I could see Deguara seeing a little less work than Smith Jr, but Dillon seeing a little more than Mattison. As an aside, isn't it interesting that when Kubiak arrived in Minnesota, they targeted the same positions that Green Bay just took? Almost makes you think that this offense has a good use for these types of players! [/QUOTE]
