Don't know how superior he can be when he isn't even the consensus #1 WR prospect My guess was that he basically redshirts the first season - so that's not 5 years of play making. There is a real chance he limps into town - watches training camp from the sidelines - starts the year on the pup list because he's so far behind everyone else and it's downhill from there. That would have been fine in 2014, but I'm not taking that chance with this 2022 team. I think fans underestimate what zero training camp reps means for a rookie wr, much less zero Rodgers reps. And that's assuming there are no setbacks, and he somehow stays in game shape, and somehow puts on a much needed 10lbs. To take it one step further, once the season starts, there will be other new guys that will get the reps to prepare for game day. Williams will never catch up until next seasons camp. That scenario is a real possibility. Go check out the Dunne piece on MVS and let me know if missing all of training camp as a WR is no big deal. And maybe I should have prefaced all this by saying I don't think this WR class is as strong as what everyone is saying. Every prospect has flaws, and many don't meet Packer thresholds.

Arthur Penske Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I’m all for Williams if the medical staff is on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Indications are he's ahead of schedule (almost freakishly if you ask me). I don't have him getting outside the top ten in the first round mock I'm crafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly things have come a long way, but those high knee drills (or anything else that doesn't put side stress on the knee) are the usual for athletes showing how far they've come on a twitter video. Same with Jabari Parker - twice. All it really means is that the surgery wasn't botched. Note that you won't see any cone drills or anything that stresses the knee laterally for another 4 or 5 months Edited April 18, 2022 by cannondale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy can't just say he's a couple months ahead of the standard 9 month schedule and not prove it to the teams that are interested in drafting him. I have a feeling he'll start no later than week 3 for the lucky team that gets him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Even if he is a bit behind this year, he'd be well worth picking. The only reason Williams isn't the consensus #1 by a long shot is the injury. If he's there at 22, run that card to the podium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see it really working for Packers The cost of trading up in the first are very high and I don't want to do that for a player recovering from an ACL tear. If he falls to 22 then it probably means there are concerns with the knee. Ultimately the value of a draft pick is four years. After that if they hit then you have to pay them significant money. If the expectation is he is going to be significantly behind for one of the years then that's not good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
