I’ll trust the fans that have no idea who he is saying he can’t cover anyone over this 😂. Douglas is probably better than white straight up post white’s acl injury 

I like PFF as a tool to see if the the grades match the eye test. Not normally as a stand alone measurements. That said...he already knows to look for the ball when playing Tua.

Grossi doesn't like the compensation for the trade.

Puts Dane Jackson back on the bench where he belongs

 

All indications are that Douglas was a leader in the locker room also

 

Sounds like a good fit all around

He also means the Bills can be patient with Tre White. if that's the route they choose

I dig the compensation. Especially since we had an extra 3rd in compensation for Edmunds.

How can anyone that watches football not heard of this guy? The name alone was stuck in my head the 1st time I heard it. Good trade!

 

I think Liam Neeson played him in a Batman movie.

He’s not Patrick Surtain who some thought was so easy to get. 
But it’s a solid move and not a half year rental. They could certainly do worse. Welcome to Buffalo Rasul 

Whoever thought Surtain was gonna be easy to get is utterly clueless about what it costs to acquire a 1st team All Pro CB on his rookie deal.

He was a journeyman for quite a while but he seems to have found out how to play once he got to Green Bay. He unlocked or figured out something. Lets hope that continues in Buffalo. 

 

For the most part I trust McD's  DB evaluation skills. 

I question a lot of roster moves, but I think I will sit tight and see how this one plays out. I have a feeling he will be a player.

Packers is just a few letters off from Panthers…

Not too thrilled about giving up a 3rd for a 29 yr old corner next year, but he is a solid get for us

I don't think he is an upgrade on our starters. Admittedly haven't seen a lot of Green Bay this season, but have seen a lot of Douglas since he came out of that good 2017 draft class. The Eagles ended up cutting him, 3 years after spending a 3rd on him because teams CONSTANTLY targeted him then he bounced around practice squads before sticking in Green Bay. No team in the NFL has misevaluated DBs as consistently as Green Bay in the past decade. 

 

For a 3rd with a 5th coming back I really do not like this. I think he is a better fit in our scheme than Elam but he is a lateral move from Jackson and Benford for me. 

 

Maybe he has suddenly improved a ton and will prove me wrong but man I hate this deal.

He has improved vastly from when he was in Philly 

 

It was like a light went on for him when he went to GB

 

You are judging him based off the old information you had from what you saw when he was with the Eagles. He's not the same player, and we usually get the best from corners when they get integrated into this scheme.

 

He's an upgrade over Dane, and maybe even Benford

There's a guy who knows the packers. Was looking to see if he had a video up yet.

Solid move, not a home run but a double. Still 15 minutes left maybe a DT or LB is in play

Flip a 5th and grab Harrison from the Vikings?😉

[Low Positive]

You have to assume that Beane was working on Johnson all day, but had a backup plan in place for Douglas in case that didn't work out. Well played.

He may have. But GB are bad at evaluating DBs. I trust him starting there less than him starting in almost any other team.

 

Packers fans are upset and PFF grades him very high.

[Niagara Dude]

3rd rounder way too much for this guy,  you might as well just give up first and 3rd for Patrick Surtain.  Beane got screwed over

Oh yea I don’t disagree haha I was being sarcastic.  Pff is pretty good if you take it with a grain of salt

Surtain would have cost multiple first rounders. He;s another tier better than Jalon Johnson
