Well that was depressing to read. Trying to be positive bout this class which has been difficult to do.

Not disagreeing with anything you posted.
trying to be positive, if you rearrange some picks (e.g., if instead we got Dunker at 2.53 Bernard at 3.96) i could see giving pretty much C grades down the board, which would be ‘fine’, and probably overall a ‘good’ class given the capital we got to use.

And others are much, much higher on Bernard than I am, which would pretty fundamentally shift the overall perspective. Just felt really frustrating after feeling like we’ve been building towards this draft for years, and the main weapon we came away with is a WR whose weakness is that he’s bad at gaining receiving yards on pass plays.
Maybe Wetjet and Heidenreich will knock Skowronek off the roster.
No freakin way...Rodgers loves that guy

Has nothing to do with Rodgers. Skowronrk is their lead STs guy. The best they have on the roster currently, especially without the great Conner Heyward. That’s what you want and need from your #5/6 WR. While Wetjen is an excellent returner, I’m not sure he gives you much more than that ST wise. Can/does Heidenreich play STs.

This is dumb. Skow is a good ST player and gunner, and was recognized as such.

I saw a video of ol Rusticle taking an at bat with the Bananas and he looks like he eats a couple pies a day. He is currently built like a Russet Potato. He's not playing anywhere.

Khan is a battered wife. Who can only move on with another guy who abuses her.

After Pickens and Brod, he couldn't wait to get more emotional drama and failure theatre with another immature WR and another OT project that may not work out.
