I’d wager that on a lazy Sunday, many of us here are even “more inactive” than Moore.
Now it’s year two for these guys, but it’s year ONE for the MLF offense. Eager to see how that influences things.

I hope these young players improve and one or two have break out years. But none are true slot receivers. We need to assess Cobb and I think he should go. Sign FA Humphries from Tampa Bay and draft Andy Isabella to both be slot receivers. Humphries will probably cost half what Cobb makes. And he gives some veteran help.

Dougherty reported in the JSO Sunday morning that Brown wants a new contract.

I really like MVS and ESB a lot. I think both youngsters will be much better next season even though they'll be learning a whole new offense. Just an offseason of working on their craft will help, but with a year of learning to read NFL defenses and what those defenses are trying to do, I think they'll take a jump. The question is how BIG of jump.

Still like the Packers to sign a slot receiver in FA. Humphries, Beasley, Crowder, or even Golden Tate. I think Tate and Beasley might be cheaper considering their age, but the Packers need that quickness in the slot.

The Packers have more size than they've ever had at WR right now and I'm looking forward to watching them in this new offense. Something tells me MLF will actaully take advantage of these receivers strenghts like size and speed. Something McCarthy seemed to get away from the last few years. I mean I'm still trying to figure out what the hell McCarthy was doing with Mercedes Lewis. WHY was the BEST run blocking TE in football in 2017 on the bench most of the time in 2018. Especially when neither of the TE's in front of him could block.

ESB mostly played from the slot and was showing exciting promise.

He is a smooth route runner with a huge catch radius.

But what stood out to me on tape was his downfield blocking. Look at some of AJ’s best runs when ESB was on the field and you will see the WR in the play, plowing the road.

And he is just what, 22 yrs old? Huge upside.

MLF and Gute I am sure have been pouring over film and discussing this very subject (among many others)

They most likely have come to the conclusion that Cobb is too injury prone at slot and it is time to explore the possibility that ESB or Kumerow in the slot with a draft choice like Samuel or Isabella would be just fine.

New HC + New Offensive Scheme = New Ideas how to maximize the talents of the same players within a new framework.

Some of these same players that showed promise will fail, but some will blossom!

That is all....

Unless Cobb takes a BIG pay cut, he’s gone. But if he does, I’d like to see him back. He’s so intelligent and great after the catch. Always in the right spot and has ESP with #12.

I would load up his K with incentives and hope his 2018 injuries were an anomaly. A better teammate you will not find.

I have been an advocate for picking up a vet slot receiver. There's a part of me that wants the Packers to forget about that and keep building up the rookies from last year. I figure one maybe two go into a sophomore slump. If that happens, you still have enough firepower to keep the passing game going strong without signing AB or another slot guy. In fact if the Packers sign a star player I would prefer Bell over Brown. He would fit better in ML's offense and provide greater impact than Brown as a receiver.

I think we're under valuing Kumerow. He has hustle, grit and is sure handed.

Big slot vs. small slot?

On a number of occasions, the Packers have played Finley, Nelson and St. Brown in the slot, giving them a major size advantage over smaller slot CBs.

It will be interesting to see whether LaFleur prefers the larger of smaller slot receivers. Ideally, he would have both.

Most everyone here seems to forget that we signed Allen Lazard, WR-Iowa State, near the end of this past season. I think he will give a lot of competition to the WR group in camp and may work himself into one of the WR spots on the 53 man roster. He was pretty good at Iowa State. Give him a shot and I think he won't disappoint.

In .... Adams, ESB, MVS, free-agent, draft pick, +1.
Out .... Cobb, Kumerow, Lazard, Redding.
Fence .... Allison, Moore, Davis.

Bottom line truth: The Pack have nothing but some potential after D. Adams. -- Not another WR on the 90 man is a proven NFL player. (Cobb is gone, no matter what)

I'm think'in Gute will shore up this position with a surprise or two (in free agency or a high draft pick). Gute needs to cut the yearly WR riff-raff that the Pack had under TT & MM.

AR will need better WRs to get the Pack back above .500 & into the playoffs in 2019. -- The present group just won't do.

This is an excellent tight end class. Might not need too much receiving help if the Pack take one or two.

This is also a deep receiver class, although lacking in top tier talent.

The free agent receiver class isn’t great. Beasley has taken a pounding in Dallas. Not sure how long he’s going to last.

I REALLY like the MVS and EQ. Both are big fast targets and have the potential to be really good! I thought both showed us enough that they have the skills to be really good.
I think Moore has skills, but he has some catching up to do. Well actually he just has some catching to do. He needs to catch the ball. Perhaps a lot of it was he was thinking to much. Which he basically said as much.

With Adams, MVS and EQ we are set up well. Add in Kumerow and we have a really talented group of 4.

That all being said we still need to add to the position though. While I like MVS and EQ do we want to fully trust that they are the guys? We have seen this before with Randall and Rollins. They had very promising rookie years to follow up with basically nothing and both are gone.
I want to see them keep adding to the position and make sure they aren't relying on guys who had good rookie years.
Also, if they do turn out to be the players that we think they are, what happens if one gets hurt. Or a few of them. Continue to add play makers to the position will only make the team stronger.

There are some options in free agency that I wouldn't mind seeing them go after. There are some really good players they could draft too.
Not going to lie, it would be intriguing adding a guy like DK (Thanos) Metcalf to the team.

Can't believe Penny Hart didn't get a combine invite. Here's hoping that hurts his draft stock and the Packers can pick him up in the 5th or 6th round.

I am not of the opinion WR is as big of a need like many. MVS And EQ have big ceilings with their size and Athleticism. I look for big 2nd year jumps from those 2. We have huge needs at FS, SS, RG, EDGE and I would argue we need another DT. Being dominant on the LOS allows Pettine so much flexibility. Daniels is likely on his last year. If Ed Oliver is available at 12, you take him. Oliver and Clark Could be a dominant interior tandem for years to come. I am also in favor of resigning Wilkerson on a reasonable deal.

I believe if we fix the OL and it's depth. We won't have to worry about who's playing WR or TE.

My belief is the Packers are set at WR with the exception of a very good shifty slot receiver. Love the 3 rookie WR's last year and expect huge growth this year. Shocked so many think the Pack need to pick-up a veteran FA. Save cap money for OL, Safety, and OLB. Look what NE does in SB with their slot guy. Unstoppable! The Pack needs the same kind of talent at slot. Priority even before TE on offense.
