At worst, Simmons would be a good addition to the special teams. In the event that Hopper goes nowhere, Simmons could be valuable depth at LB #4. Given that he's going to be cheap and still young, I see no good reason not to sign him.
I think the game really changed after Jordan retired. Kobe and Shaq increased the tendency of one on one match ups in the early 2000's and Shaq's low post power paved the way for guys to just push their way to the basket. The ascendancy of the 3 point shot with Curry and the Warriors also...
My hunch is that pass rusher will be the top priority. D. Ezeirauku from B.C. who Hafley knows well could easily be pick#23. I could easily see a WR in round 2 and a DT in round 3. Gute will add CB and OT depth on day 3 but already addressed those positions of need in free agency.
Jenkins was one of the best guards in the league last year in pass protection. He's probably closer to average in the running game. With the emphasis in the passing game and protecting your 50 million dollar QB, I'll take Jenkins any day over most other alternatives at LG. We'll see how he does...
I used to be a huge Bucks fan but not anymore. It has more to do with the game than the team. As I've posted before, the NBA game is unwatchable in my opinion. I don't have patience to watch guys lower their shoulder and take 4 steps to the basket. Giannis is the most egregious at it. College...
Picking in the deepest pool of talent doesn't seem to be a bad strategy. This year the DT class is rated high. Picking the second or third best DT at #23 may be comparable to picking the top rated DT in another year.
Weighing needs too heavily in the top 3 rounds IMO can be a fools errand. For...
Both Lillard and Giannis need to go ASAP to at least get some draft capital. The longer Giannis stays with the Bucks, the less they'll get for him and the longer it will take to rebuild.
If the packers draft a WR or CB in the late rounds who turns out to be a good KR, Hardman will be cut. He'll get a good chance to make the team, but that's it.
Hardman is listed at 5'10" and 178 pounds. That's way below the size the Packers like their receivers. He's a special teams addition. Even though he's even faster than Watson, with his diminutive size, I doubt he'd be looked at as some type of replacement for him. His production as a pass...
Hardman signed a 1 year deal. It's probably a veteran minimum. I doubt there's anything guaranteed since he's certainly not a lock to make the team. At this point, he's a camp body that could make the team as a kick returner.
I would say it looks like Thuney's age may be working against him. A lot of guards lack the quick feet and reach to play tackle and are susceptible to a lot of different pass rush moves. In the tigher confines of the interior line, the speed rush takes on less importance than the bull rush or...
Thuney will be bull rushed all day long as a guard just like he was at LT in the SB. If he'd of been beaten mostly around the edge rather than the bull rushes, I'd say he would hold up at guard.
Defensive coordinators are going to use the SB tape against him. The Eagles probably noticed that...
The Bears overpaid an OT from KC that was an absolute turnstile in the SB. While Josh Sweat is a good player, there are plenty of pass rushers in the NFL with his ability. Most weeks, a team's best pass rusher could put him back on his roller skates like the SB game and push him into Caleb...
I'm biased because of my age but the modern game just lacks the skill of the NBA from about 1970 to 2000. How many guys today have a sweet turnaround fadeaway jumper like Worthy or Bobby Dandridge? Nobody has ever emulated Kareem with the hook shot. It's unstoppable but yet who takes the time to...
Totally agree with your assessment. Most of the guys in the NBA just travel their way to the basket. Giannis is the worst IMO. 30 years ago, he would've averaged 10 points a game. Another rule change that ruined the modern game is the refs don't consistently call charging. Too many players push...
