Wow.

[George Cumby]

Thanks, Joe.

Welp.

This is the burner specimen who can take the top off of defenses that I wanted.

Ahem.

[King Friday]

This kid will be highly dangerous in an offense helmed by Rodgers.

[red]

well, i wanted him at #22, so i guess we should be happy

i think i would have rather taken him at #28 if we wanted him that bad and keep both seconds though

[texaspackerbacker]

ALL RIGHT! This is the pick I and probably a lot of others wanted. Now we need to have him produce. I think with Rodgers at QB, we can count on that. Adams and MVS gone, Watkins and Watson added? I'll take that as a net positive in the short term and a probable large positive in the longer term ........ and we got the additional first rounder besides. Good Job, Gutekunst.

COME ON MAN; you can't count these two as a positive over the best WR in the NFL

yes, it may work out fine; but nobody in the universe would take Watson and Watkins over Devante Adams and MVS

I absolutely do think he will have at least as good a career as Adams. With Rodgers at QB, I could see him being as productive even early as Chase and Jefferson. And of course, he'll be excellent when Adams is just a distant memory. Is Adams even the NFL best WR now? I guess we'll find out the next couple years with the Raiders. I'm betting he's not.

I hope that's sarcasm about being a gunner. I could see him returning kicks, though.

Not sarcasm at all. He's got the perfect size/speed combo you need in a gunner. After last year, you still think ST don't matter?

[George Cumby]

Tex, I hope you are right.

That may be the first time I have ever typed those words in that combination.

[red]

watch the end around and imagine that being added to our offence

[red]

it sure seems like you can just throw the ball as high and as far as you can, and he'll just go get it

And the difference in talent between the NDSU QB and Rodgers will make this kids head explode. This has the potential to be a hell of a pick and continue GB's second round WR streak.

I hope the future is as optimistic as you see it. But there

I hope the future is as optimistic as you see it. But there’s also a material difference in talent between hip-hop NFL corners and, for the lack of better words, the pale-skinned corners Watson annihilated in D3.

I notice that Hoody Genius traded up for Ty Thornton. Dude’s gonna be a thorn to cover. 4.28 40!

[George Cumby]

He's returned two kicks for TD's.

Can we see him being used on 'Teams?

Given our talent at WR I don't think we can afford to use him on ST and risk the injury. It's nice that we got a big with great speed though.

I'll bet they use him as a gunner.
