Does this sound right?
Reed is most likely to get lots of touches and make plays after the catch.
Wicks is more likey to be they guy to fight for the 50-50 ball.
Watson is more likely to beat everyone deep and go up and get a short TD pass jump ball.
Pick which one is your #1, but you want them all on the field.
because we are so deep at WR, do we trade one or 2 away, and when? (probably not this offseason)
Could be a 1A, 1B between Reed and Wicks. I lean more toward Wicks, because he's been better against man coverage, but they've both been good and things like that can change a lot year-to-year.

As usual the national media is only about 3 months behind packerrats for good ideas. I guess that's why I spend more time here than packer "news" sites.

FYI what I love about the debate is that it has so many angles. Personally I think Wicks could be DAdams 2.0. He does everything Adams does. He's just a tad bigger than most WR. Plenty fast. Runs great routes. What can't he do? Doubs is sort of a poor mans Wicks in my book. He is the "least likely to fail, least likely to be the alpha" kinda guy. Reed will have a 100 catch season at some point in his career. Prototypical slot guy. Watson is simply so talented that rules don't apply to him. I've never seen a guy beat angles like he does. He's less polished than the others but it doesn't even matter. Maybe a Randy Moss comparison, but without the ball skills. Moss is the best I ever saw (when he wanted to be). I would say that 3 of these guys make one or more pro bowls at some point and Doubs will carve out a really nice little Donald Driver type career where he is never quite the man, but always doing the job.

I think you may be forgetting how good Driver was. He had 6 consecutive 1000+ yard seasons. I see Doubs as more of a James Jones-level receiver, which is great if he's your 4th most talented WR. I agree that Wicks has the potential to be a lot like what Adams was. I thought Reed would be a Cobb-type guy but he's more explosive than Cobb. He probably has as much in common with Jennings as he does with Cobb. When Watson was drafted, I thought he had the most potential to be a Randy Moss-type talent out of all the WR's in that great class. Still does if he's past the hamstring problems. It willbe interesting to see how long the Packers, with current WR salaries, can keep the group together. They had Driver, Jennings, Jordy and Jones together for 5 seasons (2008-2012).

I remember how good driver was. He wasn't great though. He was good for a decade. A pros pro. Doubs plays nothing like Jones, he plays like Driver. Driver was also the main guy for a lot of years when he probably shouldn't have been. If you surround Doubs with guys like Malik Heath he will have 6 1k seasons also. You're probably right though. He isn't likely to quite be driver. More like 6 consecutive 800 yard seasons.

Joe and I weren’t saying he’s like Jones at all, just similar in production level. Doubs is a step slow and not big enough to be a possession guy. He won’t last past 30. That part is similar to Jones. But he’ll rack up a few thousand yards in 8 years.

I think Bo Melton deserved to be in the poll, given the way he played down the stretch.
I don't know about #1 - I hope it remains by committee - but I do think, when it's down-and-dirty clutch time, that fourth-down you HAVE to have, that Love likes to find Doubs.

Wicks is the guy who had the highest ceiling. Watson is an elite deep threat, but he’s never going to be a guy who can get 7 yards on 3rd and 6 consistently. Reed has a great chance at being an elite slot receiver, but he won’t have the size to be a consistent deep threat. Wicks is the only one of the three to have that ability to do both and develop in a manner that Adams did.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
I think Reed might have the down field ability of Greg Jennings or Steve Smith Jr
Wicks is much more in the mold of your prototype #1 receiver. TO, Adams, Kupp, Jordy, Keenan Allen. The list of big body receivers with just enough speed and top tier route running ability is endless. Probably half of all leading receivers fall into this group.
If I could vote again, I’d vote Wicks. I said Reed and still think it could be. And it could be Watson too.
Doubs is the one I give almost no chance to.

It's Wicks IMO. Doubs is what he is; a relialbe decent WR ....just decent . Not many are arguing for him
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
