1045 Clapping Moments

"So, what's going on?" Bobby Williams rushed to the scene outside the Blue Castle Stadium. His belated footsteps seemed a little hurry. He didn't know what was going on, so he raised the sign with his friends, "Didn't we say we're sure to choose a linebacker?"

"That's it." Payne summarized in the simplest sentence, "The original plan has been decided, but Thompson exchanged two first-round picks and one second-round pick to get the second pick this year, just to choose Andre Smith. Isn't this ridiculous? Coach Archie's tactical layout has been completely disrupted."

Bobby frowned slightly, "But the offensive front line is also the position we need urgently, right? He was forced to give up because the ranking was too low, and instead chose the linebacker. Now that he has the second pick, it is also appropriate to choose the offensive front line, what do you think?"

"But, do you think Andre Smith deserves the second pick? Jason Smith and Eugene Monroe are not worthy of our next three-year plan. Coach Archie's plan for the team has been completely disrupted. Do you think Thompson can understand the coach's intentions?" Payne's words immediately silenced Bobby.

Then Payne added, "Do you believe in Thompson or the coach? I mean, at the tactical level and at the team planning level."

The last sentence became the key.

To be honest, the draft was a gamble, with the No. 1 pick becoming a parallel player, and there are countless cases of back-offs in the rookie who lost to the selection. Not to mention the others for the time being, Kurt Warner led the Arizona Cardinals to the National League finals again just now, so who can make it clear?

Therefore, whether it is Thompson or Lu Yiqi, they all stand on their own positions to consider it. For fans, it is not 100% correct. However, when discussing the tactical level and the team's future framework structure, the answer is not difficult.

Bobby was silent, thought about it seriously, and then said to Payne, "Andre is not a packer." His training attitude and style of work are indeed criticized? The last thing Green Bay Packers need now is a locker room bomb.

So? Bobby raised the sign in his hand high and was about to shout? But after a half beat slowing down, he realized that he didn't know what slogan was written on the sign, so he took the sign and looked at it. Then he shouted, "Don't Andre! Don't Andre!"

In just one season? Lu Yiqi conquered the residents of Green Bay with his solid and dedicated performance? It is not just a Super Bowl championship trophy, but more of the usual professionalism and focus on both sides and outside the court. These details are invisible to the outside world, but are the key to Lu Yiqi and Green Bay's trust.

At least? On a professional level? Green Bay fans are willing to believe in Lu Yiqi, not Thompson.

Perhaps, Thompson's concerns were not groundless, and his impulsive and aggressiveness were not a completely stupid attempt.

Boom! Boom boom!

Thousands of Green Bay residents gathered outside the Blue Castle Stadium, trying their best to make a sound? I hope the team can make an informed decision on the draft.

At the same time, Thompson finally showed up? When the draft was counting down two minutes, he pushed open the door to the war room.

“Are you ready?”

Thompson glanced at the audience? He said loudly, but his eyes finally fell on Lu Yiqi.

There is no difference between Lu Yiqi and usual? He is still sitting with the coaching staff members? He is holding a stack of information? He should be analyzing the draft strategies of other teams, hoping to prepare for tonight's draft, and he is not as good as Thompson imagined.

He thought Lu Yiqi would demonstrate to him, or put pressure on him aggressively, or stand by and watch proudly.

However, Lu Yiqi did not, everything had no change from usual, which made Thompson a little puzzled.

In this way, the fans outside the training base were not instigated by Lu Yiqi?

Thompson couldn't help but sound the loud shouts of fans again. The eyes that wanted to tear him into countless pieces could still fall on him even from a distance, making people shudder. Then his head began to thrill and his irritable mood surged again.

Damn it!

Thompson strode towards the center of the combat room, turned to look at the whiteboard directly in front. In terms of the first round pick, the position of the linebacker and offensive tackle is temporarily blank, because they have not decided who should be chosen yet-

Of course, even if the names are not placed, it will not have any effect. They are now familiar with those names and can remember them with a slap in their heads.

"Ted, who do we choose?"

The one who spoke was offensive forward coach Joe Philbin. He had a good personal relationship with Thompson. At this time, he asked him about it, which was undoubtedly the best choice.

Thompson did not answer, but turned around and looked at Lu Yiqi. At the same time, Lu Yiqi also looked up at him, as if waiting for his answer like everyone else.

Thompson was silent for a moment, and recalled the linebacker report on his desk again, which was very objective and very intuitive.

Allen Curry's performance in the field is indeed very good, and he is ahead of the rookie linebacker this year, even more than twice as many as that of Cushing and Matthews - of course, considering that Cushing and Matthews are teammates, they share the defensive tasks with each other; and, the strength of Curry's division team is generally weak, so it is understandable to widen the gap in data, but such performance is indeed impressive.

However, Curry's shortcomings are very obvious: a missed grapple.

In four years of college, Curry's role in the team is becoming more and more important, and he missed more and more tackles. He missed sixteen tackles last season. Objectively speaking, Curry's number of tackles has also increased, and the number of misseds is understandable, but compared to Curry and Matthews, his overall performance fluctuates very significantly.

Before training camp, Cursing was the biggest favorite in linebacker, but after training camp, Curry finished overtaking. What is the final reason?

It is not because of the physical test data of the training camp. In fact, just from the physical test data, Curry, Cursing, Matthews and other players are similar, with each other's advantages and disadvantages, and the average data is relatively balanced; but because of the balance of comprehensive strength, many professionals believe that Curry is a "conservative but not mistaken" choice. In many simulation drafts, Curry even surpassed Stafford for a time and was considered the No. 1 pick.

Asiders can’t see it, but insiders can understand that this is actually hype - find a few professionals to endorse their players, use public opinion to create momentum, and then the popularity bubble begins to rise, and the fans’ voices naturally rise. So, how should the team choose?
