Korayashi is one of the nicest users you will meet, but he had nothing but disdain for Charlie Whitehurst, and I have no idea why. He was at worst an above-average starter during his five years in Green Bay having record five 75+ passer rating seasons with over 12500 yards and 84 TDs vs 59 INTs. He found his way to St. Louis where he was almost certainly the top backup QB from S7-S10 as he recorded in 49 games and 5 starts there 2300+ yards, 23 TDs, 10 INTs with a passer rating north of 90. He went to the Colts where he was named Comeback Player of the Year in his return to being the full-time starter. His second season in Indy saw him injured, and new management arrived either during that season or after and cast him aside for Colin Kaepernick. Whitehurst finished his career winning a ring as Russell Wilson's backup for the Pioneers. He finished with more than 20k passing yards and 143 TDs vs 99 INTs. A very underrated QB who succeeded with all four franchises he played for.

Edwards backed up uber-talented DEs Dwight Freeney and John Abraham. He had no realistic shot at winning a starting job over either, and he never did. I forget if he spent his entire career in Green Bay or eventually hit the FA market and never signed with anyone.

Meachem was a solid #2 with Green Bay, and after being traded to the Steelers, he had an up-and-down career as the #1 there, but statistical dips might have been due to QB play more than anything. He wrapped things up with a disappointing season in Carolina, but averaging roughly 700 yards a season as a #2 and #1 in run-oriented or lackluster offenses is pretty impressive.

Thompson has always performed among the best OTs in the league. He has block:sack ratios at 15 or above in eight of his 10 seasons. Health was always a major issue for him, and in his final two seasons in Green Bay, he played in just 9 of 32 games. The 49ers scooped him up and he has missed four games in five seasons, missing no more than two in any season. He is coming off of both of his Pro Bowl seasons where he has recorded a combined 132 blocks against 10 sacks. His age and injury history are working against him, but if he keeps this up, he might be on the Hall of Fame ballot when it is all said and done.

The highest SS taken until Patrick Chung, Phillips has had a pretty non-descript career in Green Bay. He has averaged roughly 45 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INTs, and 1 FF+FR a season. He does have a pair of Pro Bowl trips to his name and has started all 16 games in seven consecutive seasons now.

Taylor is the most extreme scrambling QB we will have unless the generated draft classes change things. He hasn't eclipsed 2000 passing yards in any of those seasons, but he does have 1000+ rushing yards in three of the past four seasons and over 6000 in his career to go along with 43 TDs on the ground. Despite having his worst passing season since S9, he was named co-MVP in S14. After a lot of injuries early in his career, he has missed just one game in the past five seasons.

Dowling has been a good CB for them and just made his first Pro Bowl. There's not much else to say.

Griffen had three straight 10 sack seasons before the Packers blew up their team a little and traded him to the division rival Bears. He's had 10+ sack seasons each season there, so his streak to begin his career is still intact.

I feel like there's a misconception within some that scrambling QBs are not gifted passers or the passing game falters with them around, but players like Vince Young, Russell Wilson, and Josh Portis have proven that to be false. Not all QBs are created equal though, and Taylor simply doesn't pass, and the coaching philosophy exacerbates that issue. Why the Packers would spend a 1st on a WR is beyond me, but Allen's career in Green Bay just ended with 1044 yards and 7 TDs in four seasons.

Lawrence's production has significantly improved each season with just 4 sacks and a FR as a rookie up to 13 sacks, 3 FFs, and a FR in his third season. It will be difficult to improve upon that, but at least he has had a season that lived up to his billing as the 14th pick.

Bradberry has 10 INTs in two seasons. The only person who comes to mind that has done better than that to start their career is Jaquiski Tartt who set a B8NFLL record with 11 INTs in S12.

Tunsil had a respectable first season, but after seeing so many other 1st round OTs rush out of the gate with strong rookie seasons, his 36 blocks against 5 sacks could be considered a big disappointment to some.

Ioannidis was a backup DE who had 5 tackles. He is now expected to fight for the spot opposite Lawrence with last year's starter Jordan Beck.
