How well would Julian Blackmon fit into the Hafley scheme?

I don't think this makes him a lock but I do think it's more evidence that the Packers like their CB room as is and won't reach for A CB just to take one

Thought Ballentine filled in really well as a starter last season (56% completion and 81.2 rating when targeted), so that doesn't surprise me. He was the main guy on Jefferson in the game Jaire was suspended and pretty much clamped him up (interception, 3 pass deflections) until garbage time.

Interesting that a lot of these players blast their former teams/coaches via social media. I still don't think it's a very good look, even if they're correct in this specific example. That stuff should really just stay in the clubhouse/locker room. But to that point, i don't think D-Coordinator staying or getting fired had anything to do with De'Vondre getting cut, I think he was gone either way.

They're handling every position like that. We can easily draft BPA and go from there.

Dude was the easiest unfollow I've ever made on social media while he was still a member of the Packers. The vibe he put out in his posts and stories made him incredibly unlikable. Nothing ever seemed like it was his fault.

He was all about the organization when they gave him the contract. He even had an Instagram post about it (I just looked at his profile, and it looks like he deleted that post at some point LOL).

O-line depth is officially a concern.

Matches Malone · Post #1770 » by **Matches Malone** » Mon Mar 18, 2024 11:28 pm

I'm not in the concerned camp just yet. They've been developing Caleb Jones and Luke Tenuta for depth at tackle, and we'll probably get a few more linemen in the draft. Yosh was an awesome swing tackle, but I think they can develop another one.

I'm concerned. Last year, their depth chart included Nijman, Bakh, Runyan, and (if I'm not mistaken) every OL who's still on the roster, and they still nearly ran out of serviceable OL's. Is Newman the only backup OL on the roster who's ever played a meaningful snap? Are we counting on him, Jones, Tenuta, and a few rookies to be the best non-starting OLs on the team? And let's not pretend that Jenkins has been a picture of health. They're now in a position where they might literally have to draft 4-5 OL's.

They were probably going to draft a good amount of OL anyways. They have 11 picks and that's a spot Gute always puts equity in. The experience isn't going to be what it was, but they are choosing to move on from injured/older linemen. They kept Jones on the 53 despite being inactive for every game, so they clearly like something in him.

Ehhhh. Only two of those would qualify as "depth" lost (Bahk i wasn't counting as anything going into last season) and GB has a good track record of drafting guys in the mid rounds every year.

This wasn't unexpected imo and doesn't change a whole lot from yesterday. We were gonna draft a few O linemen for depth before. We're still gonna be drafting a few O linemen now

We got 11 picks to replenish the depth pipelines

Very similar to the Welch signing. Probably won't actually be used on defense but Rochell & Welch each played quite a bit on ST last year so I think they both have a realistic path to making the 53

I debated whether to include Bakh, my point being that that's how many OLs they thought they needed and that they're now well short of that. They went into last year with Newman being the 9th option on the OL, and right now, he's the 6th. Yosh and Runyan, despite their warts, were both far more accomplished in the NFL going into last year than anyone they'll have on the bench this year. I expect Gute and the coaching staff to figure it out, but I'm concerned. That's not the same as betting against them, but just as an example of how it could play out in the draft, does this mean they end up reaching for need? I hope they avoid that.

All that's fair. I guess I just expected them to have inexperienced depth on the line going into this year (since I didn't expect Yosh or Runyan back to begin with) and just trust this team to draft quality linemen more than any other position

They'll draft at least 2-3 O-lineman and it wouldn't surprise me if they go with one in our first 3 picks. Your starting-5 is basically already set with Walker/Jenkins/Myers/Rhyan/Tom. Newman, Jones, and whoever you draft will more than suffice as depth. Zero concern about the O-line given our history of always finding quality interior guys. Only worry would be if Walker's last season turned out to be a mirage.
