[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 817146, member: 10086"] While each years team obviously carries its own identity and doesn’t work the same, one thing we can learn from is what’s been successful at in the past. Holmgrens team was constantly bringing in veteran talent at WR. I see Jimmy Graham as the Keith Jackson move today. Mark Chmura was in his 5th season with GB in 96’ so he was an established veteran. Today he is similar to our Lance Kendricks who similarly is a veteran and has 2 accrued seasons with GB. While I like the idea of getting a TE for the future I don’t necessarily think it has to be this year. I’d like to do that next year (unless prevailing circumstances warrant a move) and rely on Graham and have Kendricks and Tonyan get a slightly increased role. That said. As far as WR, if there was a year to grab a veteran this would be it. I’m not saying necessarily Beasley (Dallas) but the one thing he has in common with Beebe (Bills) is he’s an experienced WR that has been part of a successful program and that experience and confidence doesn’t have to be learned with on the job training. The 1996 Packers also brought aboard another solid veteran in Andre Rison. While he was a stop gap and only played a partial season, he was a key component by instantly bringing in a swagger that only been seen in one Robert Brooks at WR. I guess what I’m saying is bringing in a proven Vet would be smart right now. I’m not so sure my choice is necessarily Beasley, but the general idea is intriguing. It would allow these talented young WRs we have to learn under the tutelage of a bonafied target. It gives them a chance to compete with Geronimo for spots #3-#5. There is nothing that will make a player compete harder than trying to keep his job and nothing that will motivate him to do better than watching how it’s supposed to be done and witnessing the accommodations that accompany their success. IMO, The 4 most critical positions to firm up in the short term are OLB, Safety, OG, WR. It’d be wise to hit 2-3 of these through FA. TE, OT, RB, ILB, DT are mid term goals IMO. What I like about a WR veteran is I would feel entirely comfortable skipping WR in the draft if we grab a bonafide #2 That would allow us to put all our energy in OL and Defense. [/QUOTE]
