Another wild week, so we’re going with another notes-style GamePlan column …
I had a really interesting conversation on Thursday morning with an NFC exec who has a pro scouting background. Over the course of a half-hour, we talked through what’s turned out to be the top storyline on this offseason’s undercard, behind only the big-box quarterback moves of the last month, and that’s what has gone with receivers over the last week or so.
“So, and this is my opinion, when you have a high-priced quarterback, it’s hard to have a high-priced receiver,” the exec said. “Miami has a young quarterback on a rookie deal and they trade for [a high-priced receiver]. Which leads me to believe the inverse is going to be true of Green Bay—I think in the draft, they’ll go outside their normal trend, and take a receiver. Look at what Vegas is doing—swinging hard out of the gate, Josh is the new head coach, and he’s not used to being in a losing situation.
