KJ Hill could be an interesting option to consider in the middle rounds.

Elite short area quickness with advanced route running. I take the best MLB or DL available in the first. Then trade up to top of second grab Pittman. Also really believe Orr will be a great value in later rounds. Even though I know I am wearing badger goggles I just love his intensity. Guys a playmaker and someone who attacks the play.

My scouting buddy loves Pittman, loves him. To me, he just seems like more of what we have. There testing comes out about the same as well and most of what I have seen with Pittman looks like he would run the same types of routes as Lazard for us.

So maybe that is his floor? Again, I just think we need a different type of receiver in this offense personally.

I mean if green bay has such a hard one for the same ole same ole average speed receivers then why not just grab higgins then hes like pittman but rated higher can our wr group be any slower even adams as great as he is isnt a burner

I mean, we don't know yet how Gute wants to the WR group to look. His first swing at adjusting it seemed to be to get a bunch of big bodies. MVS and ESQ at least have some juice. The development of ESQ should be a major storyline this year, because if he doesn't make a leap, or MVS doesn't make a leap, means Gute really struck out on whatever his plan was for the group (which was obviously to get younger, bigger, faster).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, Chase Claypool probably has Gute drooling. I don't really care for the guy much, but seems right up Gutes alley.

6'4 238 and ran a 4.4 with a 40" vert...that does not happen often in football. I am just not what you do with the guy other than sprint him down the seam. Maybe there is some kind of WR/TE hybrid role for him in the NFL, I don't know.

I want two WRs in the first three rounds. I'd even be fine if they go back to back in one and two. Mims and Shenault Jr. is my dream. Would also be good with Jefferson and one of Mims/Pittman/Higgins. Trade up if you need to.

Yes to all of the above absolutely would love to see mims n reagor or mims n higgins but double dip they need speed

Of the guys currently at WR on the roster, we've got only one lock in Adams. Then you've got Funchess and Lazard, who are both going to get a long look. Then you've got the next tier of question marks - EQS, MVS, and Kumerow. I was a fan of EQS before he got hurt. MVS has largely been a disappointment. Kumerow was mostly a mystery.

I don't see a reason why we wouldn't draft a couple high up. Other than Davante, there's no one who has earned a roster spot at this point.

Post #510 » by **ReasonablySober** » Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:41 pm

I'm pretty high on Lazard but I'd be most comfortable with him as our 3rd or 4th target. He's an ideal seem guy in the absence of a move tight end.

And if Rodgers doesn’t trust them enough to play? We are shooting ourselves in the foot this year and next year when we have to pay a lot of guys.

I’m not opposed to it but early double dipping a deep position on a team that has a QB that doesn’t like young WR is a dangerous move.

Then Aaron can continue his prolonged stretch crappy play. It's on him.

Im not sure rogers wont throw to rookie wrs maybe if our rookie wrs didnt constantly run the wrong routes or constantly drop passes or miss assigments or better yet get fricking open maybe rogers would throw them the ball.
Its not all on our QB they have to earn his trust just my 2 cents i absolutely think rogers would throw them the ball

You do realize that 2 out of the 4 things you listed are things that are extremely common amongst even the best rookie WRs? No matter who the Packers draft those WILL be issues

Rodgers has always had trust issues with guys.... I take that back actually. He has a bigger tendency to zero in on guys he trusts or even rather guys hes comfortable with. (even during Devantes disastrous sophmore season where no one in their right mind trusted Adams to catch a ball that hit him in the hands Rodgers kept zeroing in on him). Hes going to have to get over that quickly this comming year

I'll be the first to admit I don't know a whole lot on this draft, but I did watch quite a bit of LSU this year and Jefferson was awesome in every game I watched. I know he had Burrow but the WR's that they and Bama would line up were unreal.

If Rodgers didn't have trust issues, last year turns out 6-10

What separates Taylor and Dobbins? I just watched a good bit of Dobbins and I don’t think I could blame anyone who said he’s the best RB in this class. Dude is straight **** electric, wow.

What he did to Oklahoma reminded me of what Moss did to Green Bay in his first trip to Lambeau.

I like Dobbins but he doesn't have Taylor's between the tackles ability and lower body power to shed tackles.

Well not only has packer nation been clamoring for a guy not only fast (mims reagor) but since cobb left a slot receiver(jefferson )though not as fast as the other 2 i mentioned hes your slot master hes absolutely perfect for the packers being there at 30 is another thing.Alot comes down to philly n Baltimore if philly grabs mims n baltimore sticks to D i think jefferson falls to green bay
Question is if both jefferson and reagor and aiyuk is there whose the guy
