Packerraymond Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just now, vegas492 said: Incorrect. The correct answer is Watson. In all seriousness, though, how about Williams? Williams is rare, like 6'2 DeSean Jackson rare. Olave is a technician. Burks is a bit unrefined as a route runner, big, strong, plenty fast, great as a YAC guy. That's the closest to Watkins coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see us taking him at #22 if he lasts that long. Round when Watkins is scheduled for some IR time.....Williams would be coming on board (But we're not gonna get Williams. He's gonna be long gone IMO- hopefully not to anybody in our division) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The real question.... Did Leisher have Watkins in any of the hundreds of his mocks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that took me away from Burkes is how he was used in college. Not really a boundary type receiver. Then again, I don't know what Watkins was coming out either. But I've always viewed him as a boundary guy in the NFL and that is not what Burkes was in college. Totally get the size/strength/speed comp.

I agree. Pierce is out MVS replacement. Still need to find that potential #1. Only guys that might fall Williams, Burks, perhaps Olave. Might be able to nab one of those guys. Probably have to trade up in the 2nd to land Pickens or just take him at #28. Pierce has a shot of being there at #53 but that's not guarantee either.

I want Gute to go get some WRs with the same gusto he moved up for other positions in previous drafts. Will he? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact checking.... Past 4 years. MVS: 31 catches, 538 yards. Watkins: 39 catches, 501 yards. Math checks out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Pat McAfee show with Rodgers. Rodgers loves Watkins, said he was texting him last night about coming to GB. So there's your influence boys. For better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Yeah he's essentially the MVS replacement. Not a huge fan of it because the guy has had major availability issues over the years, so he's just not a guy you can count on to suit up for every game regardless of what his role will be. Still, obviously far more cheaper than MVS so on the surface it's better value. We knew GB was gonna be adding a handful of bodies to the WR room via FA/trade/Draft, so this is just one of a handful of new additions.
