Recently Steve Wyche, a senior writer for NFL.com, has been missing big with some of his Packer analysis.
First, he thinks Michael Boley the UFA linebacker from the Falcons will be a free agent target for the Packers. How? Boley is 6-foot-3 but he only weighs 223 pounds. Weight is often an issue in the 3-4 defense and Boley is about 20 pounds too light to play inside linebacker and is 30 to 40 pounds too light to play outside linebacker. So really?
Second, Wyche has Brian Cushing going to the Green Bay Packers with the ninth pick. Not going to happen. Cushing is no doubt a great football player and physical specimen but he is not the best value on the board at the ninth spot. The Packers will also be targeting a cornerback at that spot or possibly a left tackle if one of the top players falls. I will say that I wouldn't mind have Cushing in a Packer uniform.

How about Andre Smith with the ninth pick if he falls that far? The guy is an absolute monster and I think he will get his act together before the Draft. So what, he had a bad stretch with the bowl game and the combine? He is completely humongous and I still think he will be a great pick for whoever ends up getting him.
ReplyDeleteSmith would be a good player. The problem is that besides him completely imploding since Bama's bowl game, there are now talks about his ability to pass protect. Have to see what the teams think of him.
ReplyDeleteSmith needs to get his act together period if he wants to be successful. I wouldn't mind him being a Packer though. Green Bay is going to need help on the line soon enough.
