Thoughts ?
2nd year Doubs would be putting up pretty numbers with Butte throwing him the rock. Watch the all-22’s. Doubs knows how to get open. He’s catching every fucking thing that hits him.
Watson needs to lose the vag and grow a pair.
Lots of hard ons for Reeds and Wicks, so it’s easy to forget that they’re being covered by 3rd/4th corners. One guy is a slot machine and the other’s a sloth.
Reed to me has the highest ceiling of all of them right now. Wicks and Doubs are roughly equal. Watson has all the talent in the world, but doesn’t have the drive or the guts to maximize it.
This is where I'm at too.Quote:

I have a terrible time finding a comp for Doubbs outside of a Ruvell Martin with more talent
How about all of the above?
Watson was drafted to be a superstar. He hasn't been that so far, but the potential is there. Doubs, Reed, and Wicks along with Toure were basically afterthoughts - supporting players who in 3 of the 4 cases have turned out pretty well.
If the Packers had played defense to the level they should based on where the personnel was drafted, then the progress of the offense and in particular the passing game would be plenty good enough to win a lot of games. In other words, the blame virtually ALL falls on damn Joe Barry.
Last time the Love-led offense scored 21 points in a game, I was shutting down Darren Charles. Barry-led defense, meanwhile, has been allowing a mean of 20 ppg.Quote:

Its not uncommon for a good slot to show more early. I don't think Reed is the best of the bunch, in fact I think in 10 years he may end up the worst. I still have high hopes for Watson and Wicks. Doubs will be a poor mans Michael Thomas. Think Donald Driver type career. Although driver excelled way into his 30sQuote:

My polls are mean to stir shit up and debate and disagree.
But reality is, all 4 will not be extended to long terms deals.
So part of the exercise, is to see where everybody is at on the packages :)
After today the choice was more difficult but going with the new guys. Wicks run beastly like no one is stopping him.
We have 4 legit WR on the roster. Probably 2 #2s and 2 #3s at this point. Or is it 4 #2.5s? We don't have a true alpha, but man I like the way wicks and Reed play. Watson and Doubs should be ahead of them, but all 4 seem similar. Maybe I'm wrong and Reed will become the class of the group. But if the OL can hold up and the running game can give advantageous situations we have enough talent at the pass catching positions to win a lot of games.
This year's class looks better.
Does Wicks kinda look like Javon Walker out there ?Quote:

Add a #1 and we are set !
When you shut down Darren Charles, Love was probably still in diapers hahahaha.Quote:

Bretsky, I'll double down on that "all of the above" after day. And supposedly Dubose is pretty good if he gets healthy too. WR is another position we don't need to draft.

I was leaning towards JJ with the toughness but I could see the Javon comparison from when he is moving with the ball. He just might be great enough to hold out for a contract someday. :lol:Quote:

Yeah. I see James Jones too.Quote:

I don't have a Wicks comp yet. Need some more time. I'm not leaning towards walker just yet though.Quote:

REED.....I don't like the Cobb comp; I think he's much better than Cobb. Don't know who a good comparison is though
DOUBBS...I might give him James Jones. Not exposive, and ok route runner...probably going to have a good NFL career as the decent guy
WATSON......I have no idea yet

Reed reminds me a little of C.D. Lamb.
I agree on Reed, Bretsky, I think he’s better than Cobb. He can be a make shift running back like Cobb. He’s smart like Cobb. He’s similar size to Cobb.
But he’s better down the field than Cobb. Maybe a cross between Cobb and Jennings.
Kind of reminds me of Stefan Diggs with how smooth he is. Greg Jennings is the lazy Packer comparison. Antonio Brown without the crazy maybe? IDK, it's hard to think of short ass receivers that play bigger than their size.Quote:
