Mr. Scot

He didn't get the same results. And fair or not, teams will look at that.

My guess is teams want him to prove that he's still the Packer version of himself, not the Viking version. May or may not be fair, but I think that's the mindset.

My guess at this point is that, wherever he signs, it'll be a one year deal where they'll ask him to prove he's worth something longer.

This was it... Joe Person ‏@josephperson .@GregJennings tweeting he has a deal done. I'm told it's not with #Panthers.

I think if there's a hangup with Jennings, it might actually be the length of the contract rather than the money. He's indicated he wants a 'finish my career' contract, but at this point nobody's likely to offer more than a one year deal.

He sort of did. Like everyone else, Person bought in to Jennings one day early April Fools gag that he had a 'done deal'. He likely called the Panthers to ask if they'd signed him (which of course they hadn't) and took that to mean Jennings was signing elsewhere. Honestly, it was a logical conclusion given the circumstances, so I can't fault him much for that.

He has no clue what he's talking about. The fact that he's scared of the Giants and Texans shows that clearly. He's one of these 'I hate Gettleman because he dumped Steve Smith' yahoos that nobody even pays much attention to anymore. I'm sure if we win the Super Bowl he'll still come in and say it wasn't good enough

So it's too early to tell if they're good, but you can already tell they're bad. Riiiiight. He wants to call them busts after one year, but says it's too soon to call anybody 'good'. It's a pretty silly argument.

Neither is there sufficient evidence to refute it.

Compare our roster two tears ago with what we have now. Heck, compare prior drafts when we weren't even hitting on second and third round picks. Biggest factor of all for me, though? in the prior eighteen years of this team's history, we've gone to the playoffs four times, and never in back to back seasons. In only two years as a GM, Gettleman has already reached the playoffs half as many times as our entire history before him, and the first time in consecutive seasons. If we make the playoffs this year, it'll only take one more appearance to equal that record. You don't accomplish that without solid choices.

I'd hardly call Philly Brown 'meh'. What Gettleman has done is get good value out of the vast majority of players he's acquired. That's what good GMs do. No one hits on every pick, but his record so far is better than you're giving credit for.

Exactly how many 4th to 6th round picks do you think typically turn into all-pro starters in their first two years? The roster is 53 guys, with only 22 of them starting. Lower round guys that GMs 'hit' on in the draft tend to wind up as quality backups and special teamers. More than that is gravy. Boston flashed potential last year and Klein has been a contributor on special teams and a solid backup linebacker. As far as what else they could be, it's still largely unknown at this point, so your writing them off is premature. And you still haven't address the mention of our undrafted guys.

You say "we only have Bene and Boston left" as if we lost a bunch of guys. There was only one other guy drafted last year after them. That was Tyler Gaffney, whom we lost to a little used trick from the Patriots. And Kugbila is actually still around too, so that story isn't necessarily over yet. Plus we didn't have a 7th in 2013 so no one was taken there. The only true 'bad pick' that you can truly cite at this point is Kenjon Barner, and remember those undrafted guys?

As to the topic, yeah I think I recall this being posted previously, but it's kind of interesting to revisit it now in the light of an unnamed personnel guy reportedly commenting that only about 16 to 19 guys actually had a true 'first round' grade in this draft.

Benwikere, Klein and Boston are all Day Three picks (plus the undrafteds)

This is turning into a walk down Bad Memory Lane.

Close. It is a former Panther.

Some people question how well Murray will do running behind the Eagles line. And honestly, you can just cut and paste links, but there's a 'hyperlink' button in the controls (unless you're on mobile)

Very possible. I don;t think there's been any word on what we offered (or even definitive confirmation that we did).

Word now from KFFL that LeVeon bell has been suspended for the first two games of the season. So as of right now, guess who's the opening day / week two starter at runningback for the Steelers?

It's possible. We'll see.

It looks like the league in general didn't show much interest in him, honestly. Maybe he can use his Bengals contract as a 'prove it' deal.
