Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

"Arguably" . Uh no old man, there's no argument.
MVS - 11 games, 23 catches, 423 yards, 2 Tds.
Fuller - 8 games, 41 catches , 590 yards, 3 Tds.

MVS has 2 catches for 11 yards.....in his last 4 games!

Anyone dying on this hill for our garbage receivers is just to stubborn to admit they were wrong. And they know damn well they were.

[yetisnowman]

Not to mention one TD and 90 yds receiving came on one play in garbage time in a game that was won already.

Is there anyone out there that thinks WR/TE position doesn't need a complete revamp? It's bad out there. They should trade up and sell out for Jerry Jeudy and I'm not even kidding. They wasted a good receiver draft last year. No more time to waste. Keep Davante, Lazard, Kumerow scrap the rest. And approach the goddamn offseason like you need to fill 3 spots. Keep trying to tell you guys this group is a HUGE liability

I agree that WR is maybe their biggest need. However, I disagree that they should necessarily trade up. Some are saying the 2020 WR class could rival the great 2014 class when Adams was the 9th WR taken. There should be really good WR's available into the 2nd round.

it was pretty clear we needed to make a trade for a WR before deadline day

we do not have the time to draft a WR and wait 2 to 3 years for him to get up to speed

we need to either trade for a #2 or sign a #2 this offseason

I think Kumerow and Lazard are good role guys. Allison is toast. Packers have to draft a #2. Do that and get Sternberger involved, and they'll be pretty good.

I like Lazard a lot.

Yes it has to be pronto and ALL IN at WR.

There are rookie receivers contributing all over the league. And next year's class is loaded. I count 11 rookie receivers having a better year than MVS statistically. Draft a top tier prospect at that position. There's no reason if you choose correctly, that there will be some arduous developmental period. I say load up on offense with early draft picks.
I hate that Gary pick more and more by the day.

Not bringing in a solid WR by the Trading Deadline was a sign of surrender.

Just stupidity.

Or a sign that management doesn’t think this team is ready. After our last 2 years finishing 11-5 is beyond my wildest expectations. We are over performing our talent on this team. We need another year or two to make up for the couple of draft class clunkers TT had that should be some core year 3 to 5 players.

I think this is right. You don't trade draft picks for a veteran to help you win the NFC North. Only if you think it can give you a legitimate shot at the SuperBowl. I've never felt that way about this team this year. I started the year just hoping they could return this year to playing winning football. They've done that.

Good post. I hadn't really looked at it from this angle. I tend to agree.

Someone forgot to tell Ryan Pace this.

Shhhh.

[Bretsky]

How many GB Packer WR's would you trade for the top Badger WR ?

Just seems like we got Devante, a #4, and a bunch of #6's

MVS is clearly injured and fighting through it. Think of James Jones his second year when he was fighting through a knee injury and then broke out in year 3. MVS, I believe, is a legit #2. That doesn't mean you don't grab a talent in round 2 if its there. You got BPA and deal with it. You use FA to fill glaring holes.
