After AP, he's the 2nd best weapon in the NFCN.

You forgot about Calvin...Comment

I wouldn't argue against Calvin, but it's fair to put Greg in his class. He doesn't have the speed/height combination, but his route running, ball skills, and ability after the catch are elite.Originally posted by packers11"There's a lot of interest in the draft.

Al Harris has testified that his ability to beat press coverage at the LOS is also second to none. That's an ability many long-legged lopers like Johnson struggle with.Comment

For all those who wanted TT to sign big FA's(Haynesworth, Canty etc.) this year, this is exhibit A on why TT's approach isn't all bad.Comment

Good news, looks like I'll be buying another jersey ... right now.Comment

Agreed. Keep the young superstars. Maybe Collins is next?Originally posted by cpk1994Comment

Yep. I like Jennings better for a number of reasons, mostly listed between you two.Originally posted by vince
Jennings gets off the line better
Jennings plays the ball in the air better
Jennings is better after the catch
Calvin is bigger
Calvin is faster
Jennings is more skilled IMHO.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Greg is good, but Calvin is probably as good. I'd lean towards Calvin, but only because I think he has the potential to be even better than he was last year. Greg probably won't get significantly better. Two different types of receivers. A combination of Calvin and Greg would be epic. How can we get Calvin?Originally posted by JustinHarrell

CJ has a lot to prove IMO. They throw the ball to him a lot, but they don't have a lot of other weapons. I've seen a lot more of Jennings. I think he's elite. I've never gotten that impression from CJ when I've watched him. I don't put as much stock in height and speed as you do though. I'm all about guys making big plays and being consistent. I think Jennings is better at football.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

This is coming from a guy who's never bought into the CJ hype and is a huge Jennings/Packers fan. I believe it though. I believe our guy is better.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Ummm... Calvin makes big plays. Dude had over 1300 yards and 12 TDs last year. I know he was the only guy on that team, but he also had some ragged QBs throwing him the ball. I'd say the tiebreaker would be hands. Before last year, I would have said Greg beats him easily there, but I vaguely remember thinking Calvin cut down his drops last year and Greg actually dropped more balls than he should have last year, so they are probably pretty close there also.Originally posted by JustinHarrell
I don't necessarily put stock in speed/height, but it's nice. I think you are talking Jones vs. Nelson, right? I think they are close, but I think they are pretty close athletically and I'll give the edge to the bigger receiver."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I give the edge to Nelson too. You might be right on CJ. I only watch him twice per season.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

After looking at his production, you can't take away the season Johnson had last year. They're close. Both elite. Jennings definitely fits what the Packers are trying to do.Comment

I think Jennings is the superior player to Johnson today but I suspect that will soon change.
Great signing. Now go get Collins done. Love that it's a 3 year deal. Much less long term risk.Comment
