[pbmax]

THE PICK: EQUANIMEOUS ST. BROWN, WR, NOTRE DAME

Projected Round: 2-3

Rumors: NFLDraftScout thinks he's the seventh best WR and a 2-3 round selection. So I can only conclude that he may have punched a coach.

STRENGTHS
Body beautiful with a long, athletic frame and room to grow. Easy acceleration into his routes. Flashes a second gear to create separation on vertical patterns. Controlled-strider with smooth movements mid-route. Drops his hips well for a player his size. Uses his long arms to snare throws. Looks to catch the ball with his hands and away from his body. Climbs the ladder and makes fluid mid-air adjustments on the football. Resides in the weight room as the son of a certified trainer and former two-time Mr. Universe and three-time Mr. World bodybuilder – started weight-training with his father at the age of five. Started every game the past two seasons and plays through minor injuries. Confident and worldly personality. – Dane Brugler 1/10/2018

WEAKNESSES
Lean-muscled and lacks ideal bulk. Too easily redirect and knocked off his route path. Doesn’t consistently attack the middle of the field with focus, bracing early for possible contact. Looks to run or protect himself prior to securing the catch, leading to drops. Not comfortable in a crowd with inconsistent results in contested situations. Not a tackle-breaker, limiting his YAC opportunities. Doesn’t set up cornerbacks in his routes and lacks polish. Lack of body armor leads to durability concerns – suffered a shoulder injury (Nov. 2015) in practice that required surgery, missing the final four games of his first season. – Dane Brugler 1/10/2018

COMPARES TO: DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins – St. Brown likely won’t be a top-20 draft pick like Parker, but the raw size, speed, strength numbers are similar with the quick hands to snare throws. Although Parker hasn’t exactly lived up to his draft slot, there are no denying the traits and that is why teams will be encouraged by St. Brown.

IN OUR VIEW: St. Brown is a lean, long and rangy receiver, who needs to develop his polish and play strength, but displays the vertical speed and athletic profile to be a threat at all three levels of the defense. His production fell off in 2017 due to Notre Dame’s inconsistent passing attack, but his encouraging traits and potential are worth of a top-100 selection.

I don't get how this guy dropped, but projections are projections and we don't know how boards work. But man we are drafting TALL, FAST, wide receivers.

Every catch over 10 yards?

Packer Report @PackerReport
St. Brown is "real excited" to join Rodgers. "It's definitely going to be a great time."

Packer Report @PackerReport
St. Brown on the WR competition: Only makes you better, especially me, so I'm not worried about it.

Packer Report @PackerReport
St. Brown said he lived in Paris when in fifth grade; spent summers in Germany up until high school.

They are running out of steam down at Packer Media HQ

QUICK TAKE (Tom Silverstein): Had his best year when he was playing with DeShone Kizer in '16. QB play suffered in '17 and his numbers went down... One thing the Packers don't have to worry about is finding someone to change light bulbs around here with that wide receiver group.

I wonder if he could put some meat on his bones and move to TE in a year or two or three.

[George Cumby]

PFW says he has motivation issues. I hope that’s just their take and not reality.
