Man if we didnt have Thomas and werent going to run mainly 3 WR 1 TE sets

Id look hard at this guy in the early 3rd or move back into the 2nd for Kmet

 

Weak TE class and this guy has limited experience, but I have seen him as high as second--I think a TE is a young QB's best friend--and if we dont have one that can get open and make plays, we better get one.  I would not be surprised to see us go with 2, however, on the roster.

   That hand size is definitely concerning with Burrow and Fromm

You know, that was never a thing until draft where Bridgewater, Johnny Jackwagon, and the kid that went to the drags got drafted in. 

Aaron Rodgers had handsize smaller than all 3 at the time, and they still spent that entire off-season talking about how great Rodgers was.

Handsize for a QB is the new "can throw 90 yards on his knees." No one who actually spends time evaluating QBs puts much stock into it.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
