Didn't Eric Stokes start in GB right away. Cisse is a better CB than Stokes and the Packers CB room is not as strong as it was then. Domani Jackson will start in 2027.

Did you guys see the Rams just traded for Myles Garrett. They must have the best bookkeeper in the NFL after spending a boatload on CBs and their QB this year. How?

Going by memory, i'm not sure Stokes started right away, but week 3 maybe?
Hell, that's close enough to right away.
I can remember thinking he had a pretty damn good rookie season.
How he got the Raiders to give him $30 mill, is beyond me, but more power to him.

Kevin King got rewarded with a 1 year free agent deal Stokes rookie year worth 5 mill, after his dominating performance in the NFCCG.
I believe Guter probably knew he was going to replace his mistake of King, but he wanted to keep him around for insurance.
After Kings 5th year in Green Bay, the rest of the league showed what they thought about the great Kevin King.
*******
As far a Cisse starting week 1, or even sometime shortly after, i think it 'needs' to happen, and if he has NFL skills, he should be able to beat out what we have.

Again....we wait, and see what happens.

My guess is that St.-Juste and Nixon will be the game 1 starters. Then gradually work Cisse into the rotation so as to optimize his long-term development.

Bank on it.
With all these picks coming.

That might be CHTV's earliest mock draft on record SH. I will be honest, I live for the draft each year, I like it almost as much as the season. But I haven't researched any players and I have no idea who any of these players are. I tried doing a mock and quit after 3 rounds because I didn't know the players.
