Which makes me think QJ is even more valued than normal. It depends where you want to take them. There are quite a few, but don't be mistaken. I think there are far more Juwann Winfrees than there are MVSs or EQs or even huge guys like Lazard. Best bets, that I have seen so far, are Iosivas and Ford-Wheaton. Doing the draft sims, they are usually around 4th rounders. Of course, take that with the entire salt shaker. I haven't taken much of a look at AT Perry or Elijah Higgins, but they are bigger WRs too. I don't think they are fast or quick though. And I am kind of interested in drafting Justin Shorter, just to have a 6'4 WR called shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not by their athletic metric model… Jacob Morley does a draft guide for packers and last year there was 5 guys that meet packers athletic metrics (4 are currently on the packers). this year, that number is 17. Some still need to run their 3 cone… but based on his model, I think 8 or 9 are for sure right now and can balloon up to 17. edit: here is the podcast discussing.

You literally just brought it up somewhere. I get about as upset about not getting "my guys" as i do about losing a coin flip. Its just a neat thing. Just trying a little friendly banter with ya, guy, dont know what else you were looking for with your "quick update" because nobody really cares if a stranger on the internet likes to watch prospects. No. I was actually making a joke on myself....for my going on in the last draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct, there is a large number with most all of them as day 3 types though. I was up until 2AM last night digging through all of them and end up with 16 total. Would be interested in comparing lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Mingo, AT Perry, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, Matt Landers, Andre Iosivas, Matt Landers, Cedric Tillman, Xavier Hutchinson, Trey Palmer, Michael Wilson. When it comes to top 2 round guys, it's very light though. I will agree with you there. QJ and Rashee Rice. JSN is probably close enough to consider in the threshold too.

Yep, I can definitely see that. Haven't gotten that deep into class yet. But the top of the draft is full of small WRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R T Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 A WR that should probably be on our radar is Parker Washington. MLF had a vision for Amari Rodgers in his offense, a vision that never came to light. With AR now gone they may take another swing at the 'slot back' idea for the offense and Washington might be the perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this staff has broken away for some, Jaire is one (he was too short). So that’s why I think a WR is unlikely… they would rather take day 2/3 picks for that. I think they view Watson as a No.1… so it’s about filling in and around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green19 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) So QJ ain’t going to be a packer unless he drops a lot… his 3 cone is awful. And 3 cone is important to GB. So if GB goes early with a WR they are likely betting on a small guy. Edited March 31, 2023 by Green19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampfgeist Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 It's funny his agility, change of direction and body control would measure poorly based on the 3-cone drill, but people have been posting videos raving about his agility, change of direction and body control for a big WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
