You don't need a significant contribution year 1, we got Adams, Graham, Randall, as top three targets. Monty, Allison as options as 4th , and a combination of Clark, Davis, Janis (if he is back) Yancey fighting it out for 5. Throw in a draft pick or even two. Plenty of depth and healthy competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb's lousy on the boundary and you're sure as hell not running Trips/Trey every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a boundary WR, preferably one who has speed so the opposing D cant cover him with a safety. Doesn't have to be a superstar. As i stated before, if we don't pull off a trade for Martavis, I'd love a guy like Butler. You at least have to respect him on a deep route. You cant say that about Allison. It worked so well when we drafted Trevor Davis, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might be able to be a productive player given adequate reps with Rodgers" - Me trying to talk myself into this thing that I don't believe.

DocHambone Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 BTW, I'm not a big Cobb fan, and think he'd be much better suited to lose some weight, but with Jordy gone I expect Cobb to have a pretty big year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not relying on the draft to find our starter opposite Adams outside. I definitely wants to draft a WR to bring along as the season goes, preferably one who isnt a track star trying to play WR...like Davis. That pick still makes no sense to me 3 years later.

No. You made a claim that the Packers needed a "fast" WR. I pointed out a WR that ran a 4.42 forty, and you're trying to spin it to fit your argument. How about Jeff Janis? The point I'm trying to make is just because you're "fast" doesn't make you any good. Troy Williamson? Darrius Heyward-Bey? So fast, yet awful.

Hes bulked up a good amount. I've been rewatching a lot of Cobb because I expect him to be a big part of the offense this season. He still has that quick twitch where he can stop and change direction faster than his man in m2m coverage. The difference from current Cobb to young Cobb is that he cannot outrun corner backs, and some linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was pretty obvious my point was not "hey just put any fast guy out there." He has to be able to play WR too. My point is there are a lot of guys in the NFL who can do both. Allison has some decent attributes but speed/separation aint one of them. Id like to look to improve there if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
