ROUND 2 - #34 - Christian Watson - ND State

[TroyD92]

Not sure how i feel about it, but definitely fits the profile!

I don't know how you guys feel about Chris Simms. I happen to like him. He's not a talking head, guy actually seems to think things through and rationalize his thinking. He had Watson as the 2nd best receiver in this class behind Jameson Williams. Neither of the Ohio State guys made his top 5. Pierce was 3.

I don't begrudge a draft head saying wild stuff to get his name out there, but he's out there. His WR list last year was a couple obvious guys and then dudes who went late and did nothing.

His top 5 last year was:


1. Ja’Marr Chase, LSU
2. DeVonta Smith, Alabama
3. Dyami Brown, UNC
4. Jaylen Waddle, Alabama
5. Kadarius Toney, Florida

Dyami Brown obviously didn't hit year one, but I don't think that list is particularly 'out there.' At least in the two years prior, Parris Campbell and KJ Hamler were is wiffs.

Show me a big, fast guy who catches the ball with his hands and can get in and out of breaks and I'm sold. He seems like he's got all the tools. If he takes to coaching and stays healthy, probably will be a good pickup. Under normal circumstances, I probably wouldn't expect him to play right away, but in our circumstance, I think there's a fair chance he's our best outside receiving threat.

I like his interviews

Watson will wear #82.

Obviously what number jersey a player wears has zero impact on how well they'll perform on the field. But I've always been a big aesthetic guy when it comes to stuff like that. Not a fan of that number. Of the available numbers that were available, I think #7 would've fit him better. Or even #87.

Quay beat him to it

best Packer to wear 82 was a defensive end.

[MoMM]

I feel like Adams will finish his career here somehow, maybe something like Cobb.

[DanoMac]

I thought we retired 82 for Ruvell Martin?

[MickeyDavis]

The list of 82's for the Packers is underwhelming. I had forgot that Desmond came back to the Packers 3 years after the SB year (Packers cut him 8 games into the '99 season). He wore #81 in the SB, but #82 in his return.

Definitely would have preferred him in #87. Say what you will about Alec Pierce, but if you squint hard enough, you can see some Jordy Nelson in Watson’s game as well. Can’t wait to see him blast down the seem or perfect that back shoulder throw with Arod. Hopefully he makes #82 his own and gives us a new number to positively imprint on.

I had thought #87 was retired (HoF Willy Davis), but not so

Coffman was pretty decent. Aldridge was a solid player (announcer too)

[MickeyDavis]

I had thought #87 was retired (HoF Willy Davis), but not so

Packers have a surprisingly small number of retired numbers (less than the Bucks lol).

3- Tony Canadeo
4 - Brett Favre
14- Don Hutson
15 - Bart Starr
66 - Ray Nitschke
92 - Reggie White

#5 (Paul Hornung) is unofficially retired. Lombardi wanted it retired but then he left the team and nothing was done officially. A couple of players have had #5 since but none since 1988.

There are more guys in the Lambeau Field ring of honor whose numbers aren't retired (including Willie Davis). And more in the Packers HOF.

I also don’t like 82 lol

I suppose some of it's logistical. 50-??? guys need numbers every season, so you can't slide too many off the board. Plus, there's 100 years of players to consider. I can't really argue with the list of the (current) retired numbers. Obviously, I never saw Canadeo play, I only remember him as an announcer for a while when I was a young kid.
