The Packers’ visit list is all but finalized http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-kentrell-brice-jersey , and the top new name on the list is a possible top-50 pick."Each year, news trickles out little by little about the players who come to visit the Green Bay Packers as part of the team’s 30 official pre-draft visits. This year, we at Acme Packing Company knew the names of 22 such players as of this weekend, with a handful of additional players who visited the team as part of the local Pro Day.On Monday morning, Packersnews.com published its annual list of confirmed visitors, and this year’s batch has seven names on it that APC did not yet know about. Here’s a quick look at each of the new names on APC’s list, which you can find in its entirety here.Sean Bunting, CB, Central MichiganBunting has been a riser throughout this draft process, and now has a chance to go in the top 50 picks. He had a great workout at the Combine, with a 4.42-second forty-yard dash and a 41.5-inch vertical, then recorded a solid 6.89-second 3-cone drill at his Pro Day. In addition, he has good size at a shade over 6-foot and 195 pounds Justin McCray Jersey , and has great ball skills as shown by nine interceptions in three years.Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego StatePossessing ideal size and speed, Warring measured in at 6-foot-5 and 252 pounds in Indy for the Combine, then ran a 4.67-second 40. A likely day-three pick, he could be an excellent consolation prize for the Packers as an all-around tight end if they miss out or choose not to select one of the top options earlier. Warring was not a hugely productive receiver in college, posting just 51 career receptions, but he did have eight touchdowns.Curtis Bolton, ILB, OklahomaWhile the Big XII conference had few defensive players at the 2019 Combine, Bolton could easily be considered a snub after a stellar senior season. The 6-foot, 228-pound Bolton recorded a whopping 142 tackles in his one year as a starter, totaling 12 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. He also ran a reported 4.59-second 40 at Oklahoma’s Pro Day and clearly projects as a speedy coverage linebacker.E.J. Speed Womens Josh Jones Jersey , ILB, Tarleton StateA college edge rusher who projects as an inside backer in the NFL, Speed lives up to his name thanks to a reported 4.60 forty and 6.90-second 3-cone drill at his Pro Day. He’s a long, lanky player at around 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, and after recording six sacks in 2016 and missing most of 2017 to injury, he bounced back with another five sacks in 2018. He’s likely to go undrafted but could make for an intriguing free agent signing.Nate Herbig, G, StanfordThe Packers have had good luck in the past with finding guards on day three or as undrafted players, and Herbig seems to fit that mold. Though not a great athlete — his agility testing at the Combine fell well short of what the Packers typically like in offensive linemen — he did earn two All-Pac 12 honors, named first-team as a sophomore in 2017 and second-team last year. Leaving Stanford after just three years, Herbig is a young prospect who may just be tapping into his potential.Greg Gaines, DT, WashingtonTackles from the “other” UW have been high draft picks in recent years (Vita Vea and Danny Shelton come to mind) and although Gaines won the Pac-12’s award for the conference’s best defensive lineman last year Josh Jackson Jersey White , he probably will be a day-three pick. Still, Gaines did have a nice career as a pass-rushing tackle, racking up 9.5 sacks in three-plus years as a starter, including 4.5 last season. Gaines measured in at 6-foot-1 and 308 pounds at the Combine, putting him at almost the same size as Mike Daniels. Perhaps he could be a long-term replacement at the 3-technique position?John Wirtel, LS, KansasThe Packers drafted long snapper Hunter Bradley last year in the seventh round, grabbing the Mississippi State product who had two ACL surgeries. Wirtel has a similar injury history, and was granted a sixth year of eligibility for 2018 as a result. Wirtel measures in around 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds, and he could be an undrafted free agent signing to push Bradley in camp.NFC North Fantasy Football Preview: Packers players to avoid Well, we finally made it to the last team in the NFC North, the historic Green Bay Packers. Over the past several weeks we have been taking a look at what players to draft and which to avoid during this fantasy season. You can take a look at which Lions players to avoid and draft, which Bears players to avoid and draft http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-mason-crosby-jersey , and which Vikings players to avoid and draft with those links. It’s hard to decide who one should avoid in early rounds or avoid drafting entirely because I believe in every player dressed in green and gold not named Quentin Rollins. (That was a low blow to QR, but I stand by it.) Most offensive players, I feel should be worthy of a flier because of the bad man himself, Aaron Rodgers. But sometimes, not everybody can eat when the offense is rolling. So who’s going to get the smallest piece of the pie?Jamaal Williams, RBHere’s the solid handcuff who will likely go higher than he should. Aaron Jones is suspended for the first two games so that gives Williams the chance to take a hold of the position. He got the starting reps in the Packers first preseason game against the Titans and managed to score on an eight yard reception. His rushes, though, lacked the burst and quickness that you see out of Jones. It must be noted that Williams was not running behind the Packers likely starting offensive line unit, but he looked very similar to how he ran last year. Trying to squeeze through holes that aren’t there and picking up roughly three yards per attempt. Williams excels as a pass blocking back, but that doesn’t help your fantasy team. He did put up 117 points in PPR last season once he took over for the injured Jones which is nice, but his 3.6 yards per carry last year hurts for standard leagues. He’ll be a better option if you can grab Jones in a later round just in case Williams is your RB2 and suddenly gets relegated to second string on the roster by Week 3.Randall Cobb, WROver the last couple seasons it’s been tough to gauge what you might get out of Randall Cobb. His best fantasy season came back in 2014 where he was placed firmly between Julio Jones and Odell Beckham Jr. in the top ten among WRs in PPR leagues. Yeah, that happened! He scored 282 points that year (PPR) and was the #5 receiver in standard leagues.Since then he had a decent 2015 JK Scott Jersey White , but really fell off during the 2016 and ‘17 seasons where injuries started to take their toll. He went from 127 and 129 targets in ‘14 and ‘15, respectively, to 84 and 92. That has impacted his ability to score tremendously with only eight TD’s over the past two years. His injury plagued seasons have coincided with Davante Adams emerging as the WR1 (2016: 121 targets, 12 TD’s; 2017: 117 targets, 10 TD’s). And I don’t expect that trend to end. Adams is younger and more talented. While there’s a void for the Packers WR2 position currently, Jimmy Graham should have no problem swallowing up targets that would’ve been originally intended for Jordy Nelson. Much to my personal chagrin, the Packers have always tried to find ways to get the ball into Cobb’s hands whether that’s with screens, punt returns or handoffs, and it just hasn’t been effective. Cobb will turn 28 in a few days here, so there’s always the chance for a resurgence. I’d try my luck elsewhere, though.
