I don't know how Wiggins can play in the league. He's got a boy's build in a man's game. Kid looks like a bobble head out there he is so small in the hips, waist and legs.
No 5'th for Stokes isn't a surprise. If he plays well, we try to do a deal with him. If he plays really well, he plays his way out of GB and GB gets a comp pick. No big deal.
This is the team that won with both Valentine and Ballentine playing a lot of snaps last year.
While Bullard can play slot snaps easily. Very easily.
That King kid they took in the 7'th also has a real shot to make the team and contribute. He had great games in 2022 was mocked as a first round pick. 2023 was not kind to him at all, but there is talent there.
If this team can coach up guys like Valentine, Ballentine and even Nixon, no doubt they can coach up King.
Still, the overall point is a corner earlier than the 7'th would have been nice. I agree. Just not Wiggins.

I said this a couple months ago and I'll reiterate it again.....as fans we don't know how the coaching staff views the players on the team. But we will have a much clearer picture after the draft.
I think that has proven to be true. They aren't sold on Walker or Rhyan as starters.... so they draft Morgan who can play either position. They are very content with the young talent at CB. The safeties they brought in all offer the versatility to play nickel CB, which only adds to that depth. There just was no need to add to that position early. Same with the defensive line.
Since Gute has taken over he has shown a willingness to go all in on drafts to make areas of weakness into a strength through sheer numbers. WR last year, ILB and safety this year. CB his first year.
The point is, stop paying attention to what the talking heads have to say about our team. They are seldom right.

I read that the Packers think at least 2 of their saftey picks can play the nickle. So it appears that the safety picks are not just safeties but will also compete for CB play time. Overall it was a very good draft and the Packers have 11 new guys plus free agents to compete for limited roster spots. Competition is good! SOMETIMES I POST IN ALL CAPS JUST TO IRRITATE PEOPLE, IS IT WORKING?
We all respect the opinions of all on Packer thread. If we disagree, we put our suggestion on the block. In order for this record breaking thread on LL to keep going, we have to respect everyone’s opinion.
On another note, we all also get a little emotional about our team. It’s all good!

JJ WHILE GUTE IS CERTAINLY ATTUNE TO MORE INFO THAN US "A RMCHAIR GMS", I'LL FEEL FREE TO VOICE MY OPINION ON LOWLY LL AS I'N SURE HE WON'T FEEL A THREAT TO HIS JOB SECURITY BASE ON LL COMMENTS, FOR INSTANCE HEARD THAT STOKES WAS SYPPOSEDLY HEALTHY SND READY YET NO 5TH YEAR OPTION. THAT SAYS SOMETHING THAT IF HE PLAYS A FULL YEAR AND GOES TO FA HE WILL COMMAND MORE THAN 12.5.ADDITIONALLY THERE SEEM TO BE SEVEREAL "DEVELOPMENTAL" OTS ON THE ROSTER THAT ARE NOT YYET ADVANCED ENOUGH TO RELY ON. WE ARE NOT PRIVY TO THAT TYPE OF INFO SO WE ARE LIMITED TO WHETHER OR NOT DRAFTEES WOULD BE AN UPGTADE TO THE ROSTER. I DON'T THINK DEJEAN OR WIGGINS WOULD RECIEVE AN ARGUMENT THAT THEY WEREN'T UPGRADES AT PON PRTHAPS MORE SO THAN OT.
