Re: Who stays. Who goes.
should be gone 1) Capers Maybe not: Jennings, I just do not think he will get the money he wants, he maybe back with the Pack just like Jone had to do a couple of years ago. Finley will be back for the last year of his contract. Woodson maybe gone.

Re: Packers Mini-Camp Report's/Tweets
I would like to know how the rookie WRs are doing. Cobb gets his usual kudos, Boykin was injured, and Jone caught a long pass are the only WR comments I hear/read about. Is there any news on the rookies?

Re: Why Capers must go
In November McGinn wrote how Walden was due for a raise/extension. My guess is he is back in GB next season as a back-up to Perry. I've been a Hawk supporter, but he never got better, so Hawk, redo or buh-bye. Since he took a pay-cut once already I'd guess he'll say cut me Mick. Jones, after making the switch inside, is good depth - as Boris noted. Hell, he was their 3rd option at ILB when Bishop and then Smith went down. Bishop and Jone is better than Bishop and Hawk, IMO.

Re: Why Capers must go
It's important to note, as you and Boris both have, that Jones is a third-stringer. But he's a serious liability when he has to actually play. I'd prefer them draft a guy with upside and develop him, rather than hold on to a guy who's not going to get any better. I think Jones and Hawk are probably equally worthless. Hawk can't shed a block for his life, and Jones seems to completely lack awareness.

I remember Morgan Burnett being thought of similar to this guy in '09. I believe Burnett had a private workout with the Pack and his athletic measurables wowed the Pack. He was known to have questionable instincts, but his athleticism was the main reason the Pack picked him fairly high. Sounds like this guy has some of those characteristics but might be bigger hitter than Burnett.

How in the world would you know that? Hyde played well enough to earn a $30 million contract in free agency.

I like Hyde. He was great in run support. Smart football player that probably overachieved a little bit. But he did whatever he was asked to do as well as he could. But he wasn't athletic and he wasn't fast. Jones gives you everything Hyde did. But Jones is a great tackler. Far more physical than Hyde. Jones has 20 lbs on Hyde, taller and much faster. You can slide Jones to LB from time to time and he'll be fine. GB needed to get more athletic and faster on D. They did.

I think Hyde was very athletic, just didn't have the speed or burst to really utilize it.

I think that burst and speed are actually part of being very athletic.

Agreed. Hyde was a good player for us. You won't find me bashing him. If Jones exceeds Hyde, we'll be in good shape.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
From FoxSports: 15 steals in the 2017 NFL Draft Jones, a safety out of North Carolina State, was a late bloomer in the evaluation process, but he was a fringe first-round player thanks to his incredible athleticism. Even in a generationally great class for defensive backs, for him to go at the bottom of the second round was a bit of a shock. Link

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
Would have rather packaged a later pick to get ahead of Dallas for Awuzie, who IMO is more versatile and better in coverage. Jones feels like he's closer to Ha Ha than anyone else on recent Packers teams.

All three of our first picks are more "potential", rather than "production" guys. All of them have great scores for their position in combine events, but none of the three were voted to 1st or 2nd team all-conference by the coaches in their conferences. TT is putting a lot of trust in our coaches that they can get that potential to produce on the field.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
Exactly!!! People get over zealous over draft picks based off potential. Case in point? Go read the comments in the Damarious Randall thread when he was drafted

Laquon Treadwell was All American and First Team All SEC. Which is surprising because it looks like he doesn't know how to play football. Robert Nkemdiche was first and second team all American and All SEC Freshman of the year. Which is surprising because it looks like doesn't know how to play football. Justin Gilbert was first and second team all American. First team all big 12 by coaches and AP. First team Walter Camp all American. And college football writers defensive back of the year.

Randall had a very good rookie season. 14 passes defended (top 10 total) and three picks. Last year was a huge disappointment. He needs to be 100% healthy this year so we see what he can actually do. But it's not like he hasn't shown he can play in the NFL.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
Exactly Chili. I think people overreact in general. They get overly excited about talented rookies and freak out about players struggling with injury. As much as we all love to prognosticate, 2 seasons isn't enough to predict Randall's career even if he had been healthy at all in year 2. Things change over time, players can develop physically, they can become more professional, etc. There's a reason rookie contracts generally go 4 years, it takes that long to see what you have in a player.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
Randall had a groin injury last season. Just how can anyone expect him to run fast and cover deep threats when he had to play with that? Hopefully, he is fully recovered and can do a repeat of his first season with us. Don't sell him short.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
It's amazing to me to hear some of the negative comments on 1st & 2ND round picks from only 2 years ago. So we drafted a few DB's. If you think R & R will curl up in the fetal position & cry themselves to sleep, you don't know competitive football players very well. Generally takes 3-4 seasons for DB's to "get it". Remember Ozzie Newsome wanted Rollins. Pardon me while I side with Ozzie & TT. Also our front 7 isn't exactly helping the young DB's by not getting to the QB. A...

They can be but not on their own. It's a big reason track star sprinters rarely make it on the football field. Fast as lightning, stiff as a board. Think of all the great BB big men who lumbered up and down the court. Hyde just didn't have elite foot speed.

Re: ROUND 2 PICK 61 - S JOSH JONES (NC STATE)
Nick Collins was considered by certain people who may or may not have started this thread to be a sign that, combined drafting him and Rodgers, Ted Thompson was out of his mind in his 1st draft and that Mike Sherman deserved another chance and BJ Sander would live up to his draft selection.
