I think we should definitely be looking at Ojulari and Asante Samuel Jr right now. Not quite as sold on Moore due to his size, and I feel that some of the speed he has would be negated by playing on the grass at Lambeau for half the season.

This is not the full picture. It’s true of big money signings. Older players have tended to be post draft value additions. That makes sense because most older players are being paid for the past or at best for right now. A couple of seasons aside, we aren’t in a last dance or with a roster one player away from completion. We blew that last dancing too long and have since been retooling. We aren’t back there yet.

Ojulari does look interesting. I wonder why Asante Samuel has not been signed yet. I heard a lot about him before free agency began. The Packers got their CB now anyway.

If you are looking for a pattern for the Packers in free agency, it might be scheme fit. Maybe you could say that about any team, but the Packers really seem to target players who fit their offensive or defensive schemes, maybe even in a way that is superior to how they fit the team they are coming from.

I don't know that RAS means anything at all when considering free agents. Athletic testing matters for draft picks because it's a way to compare players who have played against different levels of competition in college. But once a player has been in the NFL for a little while, you can tell how he plays against NFL competition, so I think you can pretty much throw out the RAS. Xavier McKinney scored a 5.86 and Josh Jacobs scored a 5.72. Neither one of them were even as good as Kingsley Enagbare!

If we are looking to improve edge it is possible that James Pearce could be available at 23. Today big plays are often a matter of split seconds and fractions of an inch. This is why speed matters more today than in the past. If Edge is considered more important than WR or CB than Pearce is the guy for edge. His combine profile is 6'5 247 and runs a blazing 4.47 forty. Another great first rounder who might be there is WR Matthew Golden. He would be a great pick even though Gute never picks a WR in the first round. Did I mention a 4,29 forty?
Last option is CB. I would love to see them kiss an make up with Jaire Alexander and not worry about CB.

Personally, I think Gutey will make another FA addition; not sure who? My choice—Hendrickson…yes I know y’all, he’s not doing that. But, there’s some good options still available. I like Ojulari— KGB similarities.
Go Packers!!!

The large free agent expenditures are now over for Gutekunst. He will now go scavenging - looking for other lower-tier free agents , practice squad targets and training camp cast-offs - to add to the roster. Particularly players age 27 and under - i.e., De'vondre Campbell ( 27), Rasul Douglas (26), Corey Ballentine (25), Zayne Anderson (26) Ben Simms (22) etc.

I really like Ojulari as a free agent pick-up. Gives them a different type of edge rusher.Won't command huge dollars and could be had on a 2-3 year deal. This would free up the Packers to go WR or DT in the 1st round and pick whichever they don't get in the 1st with their 2nd round pick or potentially draft CB or OT depth. Right now they have too many needs to fill and only 3 premium picks (day 1 and day 2) to fill them.

I'm confused, at the end of the season last year, players were saying they needed more veteran leadership on the team but Gute prefers young and cheap players and judging from what I've seen so far this year I don't think he will be bringing in any vets, at least not ones that have anything left in the tank as most of the talent, young and old has now been picked over. Azeez Ojulari may be a guy we could use across from Gary but I don't see Gute making the move, I think he'd rather have another late round draft pick.
