there may not be enough balls to go around, but malcolm mitchell will be a really...really good WR.

Im on the fence with Shepard

With ODB, Marshall and this new TE, Im not sure how many balls will be there for Shepard

Rock likes balls by the way

If you're screwing up coverage, even if you're not getting the ball, you're doing your job as a WR.

I hear ya, but when I hear "Breakout", my thinking is 1000 yard season

He's a guy who gets undersold- good sleeper pick. I'd be selling Cooks shares as fast as I could while scooping Mitchell.

 

[Great Dayne]

I like Jarred Cook with the Raiders.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

I like Robert Woods with the Rams.

 

[Great Dayne]

The Packers breakout player of 2017 will be Ty Montgomery. He was thrown into the fire last season when starks and Feast Mode were injured. He went from WR to RB mid season and averaged 6 YPC which leads the NFL and had the most yards after contact in the NFL as well. Dude is built like superman on roids and his only cryptonite is lack of experience. Having a full offseason of preparation should be enough time for him to dominate the NFL next year. You've been warned.

I liked Mitchell coming out of college quite a bit so I can see that working out.

Maybe Im looking at things too closely but I already through Ramik Wilson was a known commodity, too. Maybe I need to read the article.

Tunsil has a potential to be a great Guard so he makes sense at 1

Seems to me the analytics/film people are the guys speaking on behalf of Wilson more so than just fans or casual observers from what I can tell. I don't personally think of him as a rock solid run defender with strong coverage ability like PFF might say. I am a little puzzled by it myself.

I just don't see a standout LB when I watch this:

Well, last year no one was a solid run defender on the whole team as far as I could tell. This year the main difference possibly on the whole team is going to be the NT change. Literally every team in the NFL could run on the Chiefs last year and certainly the Steelers took advantage of it with it being one of their strengths.

The Chiefs red zone D was great last year but if they could actually fix their bending issue then they might actually be a better team even if it doesnt show up in their record.

Eddie Lacy rushes for 1,500 yards, makes a fool of Green Bay, Seattle fans go nuts, and then gains 231 lbs in the offseason and lives in the Ocean.

In all seriousness I do actually think Lacy will have a big year... And by "BIG" I don't mean weight.... I think, shit, do I think that? I think I do.

Howard is starting all 16 games this season and will rush for over 1500 yards.

To me with Lacy it hasn't really been about talent but can he stay healthy? Every year of his career he has gotten less and less carries because he just suffers some kind of nagging injury. Actual play on the field has not really been his issue. Now maybe the lower weight will help but my guess is it won't. There are teams in the league that love Alabama players and others that won't even touch them. A big reason being so many of them come out of college broken down and just have short NFL careers on a regular basis. Not all but many of them. Look at how many continue to have surgeries leading up to the NFL. Lacy had the concern coming out of college that he just couldn't hold up long-term. That seems to be holding true so far.

That man has a ribs physique. Trust me on this one.

Rocko I was thinking Hogan but not sure who's getting all the catches. NEs offense is going to be scary to defend. Best defenders will lock up Cooks and Edelman. That leaves the #3 or #4 corners to cover Mitchell or Hogan? Use there safties and Gronk and the RBs will kill them.
Every week likely to be another weapon. I think Hogan gets open better than Mitchell.

Definitely. He was a stud at Georgia, it was just a shame his talent was wasted by terrible QBs while he was there.
