Brit Pack Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 According to my sauces the Watkins visit is to force the Packers real WR target into making a decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Packers are due some benefit of the doubt if they decide to sign Watkins. It's not like the careers of Campbell and Rasul Douglas, or even Marcedes Lewis were soaring when the Packers signed them. Packers do their homework, both on the player's abilities, and whether the player is a fit for what the Packers do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Watkins was a guy who made the transition to the NFL really seamlessly as a rookie. Since presumably they're going to have some rookies in the room, that might be a useful veteran presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awful. Every single aspect of it was a complete and utter failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing they hit on these guys without watching any tape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on another forum mentioned a rumor about Watkins visiting GB...? the reward is certainly there. If we do sign him, I’d like to hedge our bet and take another lottery pick.

It just happened not long ago. Guy was on GB sub and NFL saying Adams was getting traded to LV and got beat up pretty bad for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a low risk move if we do it. Bring him in he's a pro, well travelled but a pro WR. Might as well add 1 or 2 to the room maybe he gels with AR and can be ok, if not he'll get released with a few bucks in his jeans for a SB. I could see another one too maybe on top of this.

As he said while pasting his stats he just googled lol I'm not even Team Watkins or anything but geez. He's gotta be cheap too. Doesn't alter your plans with anything else, though you aren't going to sign him and then go sign Julio I'm sure. But this isn't a one or the other thing. Just like someone said they'd rather have MVS. Well sure. And I'd rather take Jones but again, that's not how this decision is being made. He's not going to be asked to be the guy or anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Cobb and Watkins should be solid for the 10 games combined they'll be healthy for next season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Watkins has gotten hurt in week 4 or 5 every year for the last 4 years. He always comes out of the gate hot, (been on pace for 1000+ yards in the first quarter of 3/4 of those seasons) gets hurt and then the snap counts and production go way down when he comes back. Keeping him healthy is going to first and foremost be the key, because if anything he's penciled in at #1 or #2 if he signs, so the snap counts are only going up. That said, familiarity with his position coach and HC is nice. He's obviously supremely talented. Those who think we're doing this instead of trading for Metcalf, McLaurin or Deebo are going to be pissed, but they're also morons so we should just ignore them. Those who understand we used Tae's money to sign Rasul, Tonyan, Reed and two top 53 picks and thus are going to take a "Moneyball" approach to this WR core, should be happy about this. There's a definite chance that you can get more value for your dollar with Watkins or Fuller vs Jones or Landry which you're going to pay them for the success they've had elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthom348 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 We need receivers. And not just rookie receivers. But why does the Watkins news make me feel worse about the state of affairs of the WR room than I did yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the click bait media has convinced you that a bunch of teams just want to give away their 24 year old star WR's ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
