DWhitehurst Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I am thrilled by this pick even if it was a costly trade-up with an arch-rival. There was no WR in this draft on the level of Chase or Jefferson who would immediately be an All-Pro in their rookie year. There was no WR that would immediately replace what Davante Adams gave us, and even in his case it took a couple seasons of development to get where he is at. However, there were WR's who could more immediately replace what MVS gave us in terms of just vertical stretching the defense on go routes and in blocking downfield. And the best of the bunch was Watson as far as replicating MVS in terms of those two areas. Some might argue William's, but he isn't the blocker that Watson is and the Packers want out of their WRs. Some have Watson as the best blocker in this draft for WRs. LOVE THE PICK!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 1 minute ago, MaximusGluteus said: What does the College Dominator % mean? % of the passing game offense that WR accounts for Quote College Dominator Rating – first outlined by Frank DuPont in the book Game Plan, the college dominator rating represents a player’s “market share” or his percentage of his team’s offensive production. For example, a 35+% dominator indicates that a wide receiver has the potential to be a team’s No. 1 WR and/or a high caliber contributor. 20-35% indicates a mid-level talent with situational upside. Less than 20% is a red flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 What an opportunity for Watson though. He's gotta be absolutely stoked. Imagine joining this team w/ Rodgers and being able to build your pay-day in his situation. Has every reason in the world to be motivated. Which is great given his skillset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Tremendous athlete. Big, fast, quick with flex. The only negatives was D2 level of competition and wasn’t he high on the list of receivers with the dropsies? The Vikes got overpaid on this one, Gute must know more than most.
