1008 Observation points

When people mention the 2009 draft, they don’t actually have much memory, because the overall level of rookies this year is still relatively ordinary. Quarterback Xiaonian, wide receiver Xiaonian, and running back Xiaonian, were supposed to be the situation of a forward-line New Year, but they did not have a blowout. Instead, there were Hall of Fame players like Malcolm-jenkins and Clay Matthews in the defensive team.

Among them, offensive tackle Michael Oher's off-court popularity even surpassed the style of No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford, not because of his outstanding stadium strength, but because... he became the protagonist of Hollywood movies.

The film "Weakness" adapted from Michael Oh's personal experience was released in November 2009. It not only achieved great success in box office, but also won the following year's Oscar for Best Actress Little Golden Man.

It is precisely because of this that Ohh has become a hot topic of discussion among many non-rugby fans.

Of course, when the 2009 talent show was held, the movie had not yet been released, and the Baltimore Crows still chose Ohh with the 23rd pick in the first round because he was interested in Ohh's strength and ability.

Objectively speaking, Ohh is capable, and he can often perform well as a blind side of the offensive left tackle to protect the quarterback; similarly, the same is true for offensive forward players such as Jason Smith, Andre Smith, Eugene Monroe.

Like Ohh, their strong physical fitness really ensures the lowest value of their performance on the field; however, their ability to understand tactics, read games, and improve their own strength, all have big or small shortcomings. In addition, the frequent injuries, they are submerged in the huge wave of nfl.

Originally, 2009 was hailed as a big year for the forward line, but the actual results were disappointing. No player was shortlisted for the Pro Bowl or the first and second teams of the United States, and his overall performance was far lower than expected.

The Green Bay Packers do need to attack the front line, which is also an important part of Lu Yiqi's future planning blueprint for the team. However, no one can enter Lu Yiqi's vision in the existing "rookie pool". The most important thing is that the return rate is too low and not worth it.

But Lu Yiqi cannot tell Thompson, Walker, or anyone like this, because he cannot say that he can foresee the future of those players. Judging from the current data of industry insiders, scout analysis and other data, they all firmly believe that this year is a year for the front line.

So, Lu Yiqi started with the salary cap? Tell Thompson and the rest of the team? These offensive front lines have potential, and we should continue to observe? But if we only take action like this? Then we cannot maximize the team's interests. We still need to slow down now? Continue to observe carefully.

In this way, the team's first demand was temporarily stranded? It also came to the second demand.

"Does...we need to pay attention to linebacker?" Walker followed Lu Yiqi for two seasons?    I have a clear understanding of Lu Yiqi's defensive system.

In Lu Yiqi's defensive tactical system, linebackers and safety guards - especially strong guards among safety guards, play an important role, among which the linebackers occupy the priority position.

"The correct answer." Lu Yiqi showed a big smile at Walker.

From a tactical perspective and draft strategy? Defensive back Malcolm Jenkins and linebacker Clay Matthews are undoubtedly the most suitable choice for the Green Bay Packers - in the draft? Cornerback and safety will not be strictly distinguished, collectively known as defensive back (db). After waiting to enter the team, the position will be determined based on the coach's tactical allocation.

Both Jenkins and Matthews are all rookies with excellent personal abilities? They can make an appearance immediately in the first year, and their personal abilities are excellent? Jenkins was shortlisted for the Pro Bowl three times in his career, and followed the New Orleans Saints and the Philadelphia Hawks to the Super Bowl twice; Matthews was shortlisted for the Pro Bowl six times, one time at a time, and one team in the United States? Follow the Green Bay Packers to the Super Bowl one time.

Among the two, Lu Yiqi is more inclined to Matthews.

First of all? Matthews was originally a player of the Green Bay Packers in his last life? Although he fell due to injuries and was later traded to the Los Angeles Rams. There was some unpleasantness between the two sides, Matthews was still a real packer.

Secondly, Matthews' immediate combat power is even better. Jenkins' early performance in his career was only average, and he did not have too outstanding results. After seven years of hang out in the professional arena, he finally shined in the Philadelphia Eagles. All of his three professional bowl experiences came from the Philadelphia Eagles; Matthews successfully became the main force in the first year and entered the professional bowl in one fell swoop. This is what Green Bay Packers need most urgently now.

In addition, the salary cap is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

In the last life, Jenkins was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the 14th pick in the first round, while Matthews was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 26th pick in the first round. In other words, if the Green Bay Packers want to compete for Jenkins, they must bear greater pressure on the salary cap and give up more benefits.

Of course, the league pattern in the last life was also different. The Green Bay Packers did not enter the playoffs and finally got the ninth pick. They chose the defensive tackle b-j-raji. The player's ability was also very outstanding. He was successfully shortlisted for the only Pro Bowl in his career in the 2011 season, but unfortunately, the injury problem was very serious. He missed the entire season due to injury in 2014. After returning in the 2015 season, he was injured again in the penultimate game and was eventually forced to retire.

Choosing Raji is a cost-effective decision. Defensive tackle is indeed one of the needs of Green Bay Packers, but in Lu Yiqi's opinion, it is not worth the ninth pick. After all, Lu Yiqi can "foresee" the future, so his thinking angle is naturally different.

Then, the Green Bay Packers completed the deal with the New England Patriots with the second and third round draft picks, and won the 26th pick in the first round, choosing Matthews - which was undoubtedly one of Thompson's wisest choices.

Back to the present.

History has changed. Green Bay Packers now have 32nd picks, and trading up to 26th picks. Taking Matthews again is indeed the most cost-effective choice.

After comprehensive consideration, this is indeed the most suitable choice for Green Bay Packers, but Lu Yiqi still needs to conduct training camp inspections, not just to cover people's eyes and ears, but more importantly, he also needs to constantly learn, get rid of the influence of his own memory, have the ability to think independently, and complete the team building according to his own plan.

Beyond Matthews, can we find players suitable for Green Bay? Even completing the gold rush at a low pick?
