I saw a lot of mocks with Stokes going to the Packers. I'd say I'm not disappointed, but not wowed either... He is taller than I thought.

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."

takes two to tango though....might actually be more difficult to trade down when all the teams thinking about trading up are just fine standing pat and their guy falling to them, too.

Stokes is a good pick. They needed an immediate upgrade at corner opposite Jaire and they got it. Going into 2021 with Kevin King as your 2nd corner is not good enough.

I'm two seconds from being done with this football team. Over the CB from Florida State? I just...Sigh.

 

Seems like an odd line in the sand. It's arguably their largest position of need. And you're that upset it's not a different guy?

I prefer Stokes to Samuel. Two short CBs starting is a risk. Bad speed numbers too if I remember right.

Mocked in the 2nd in a lot of places, but I saw him projected as a possible late-1st for "CB needy teams." I think I heard 2nd-lowest completion % against last year? Anyone else catch that?

Good pick in a need position, but a bit of a middle finger to AR12. At least makes the Denver trade unlikely

Stokes is a good looking player. It just seems that he could have been there quite a bit later. This was my criticism of the draft last year in the 2nd/3rd rounds. Picking guys who seemed could have lasted a lot longer.

 

But in defense of the Packers, they may know he'd be gone much, much sooner - so they had to take him.

As quickly as they got that pick in, to me that says they didn't expect him to be there (and they had no plans of trading up for anyone).

 

I didn't, and I wouldn't have expected him to be around much longer. I am not upset with this pick at all. Very likely BPA and a position of need. Winner all around.

King will be on the field a ton next season. With this kind of speed, assuming it's not Ahmad Carroll, this guy can move around the field. He'll probably be in the slot a lot and King will remain outside. Two starting corners is kind of semantics. It's not that common you only have 2 on the field and if you do, it's entirely possible one is Kevin King to start the year.

Whaa?

 

Can you explain why you like "the CB from Florida State" more than the CB from the SEC who actually covered the 4 WR'ers who went in the 1st round?

 

And why this would make you done with this team?

 

Now I understand not liking the Jordan Love pick. Fine. But in THIS case, they drafted the position you wanted, but not the guy who's got the more familiar name?

He was moving up the draft boards late though. And like everyone is saying...what do the internet boards know anyway? It isn't like a huge reach at the end of the 1st.

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."
