2020 Wide Receivers

[GB-Brandon]

Good post except the last part. Did Gute actually ever say MVS was his big hope?

Well he did say “I really like where our receiver room is at right now”. Which I do understand is normal GM type talk but outside of Adams who is really all that great in our receiver room? What is there to really like?

I’m really hoping there is another move to be made here cause it’s not looking all that great.

One of two things has to be true: either they do still have good hope for MVS to succeed, OR they really don't think we need a speedy WR. MVS has the physical tools. So it comes down to attitude and coaching.

I think that we are just seeing the start of the WR parade that I believe will pass through the Packers facilities before the 2020 regular season begins. Devante Adams might be the only "safe" WR. With so many competing for the limited WR slots, this years WR roster tryouts/competition could be epic. With so many crying over the Packers not picking a WR in the 2020 draft, Gutekunst's strategy toward addressing this clear need seems to be revealing itself. Load up on WRs and let the cream rise to the top. Also Love and the other backup QBs will get plenty of practice throws and the coaches will have lots of video to evaluate. TC is going to be intense this year for sure !

tex, several people have pointed out the fact that he is missing several physical tools. He was drafted late for some reason despite being tall and fast.

If his hands are suspect, if he doesn't compete well for the ball, if he doesn't have any explosion in his route or fluidity to make breaks, he would seem to be missing some tools.

What he does have is size and speed. And Rodgers seemed to like throwing to him a bit. Threat on the outside.

Yes, he is a guy that within the right collection of pieces could have some flash plays here and there and have some success helping the offense. This I would go along with but once again I don’t believe the Packers have the adequate “collection of pieces” in play at this current time.

HE ISN’T a guy you can just line up out there and tell him to do his thing and dominate like D.Adams.

He's a bit player, a role player at best. Packers are banking on a resurgence of Funchess to be their true #2. I have hopes, but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen. Other than that, they'll have to hope a number of other guys emerge as better role players or true targets to have a really good passing offense. Right now they really have Adams and Jones. Could see Stoneburner coming on, maybe Encyclopedia St. Brown...in addition to Funchess being respectable, that could be enough for a pretty formidable offense.

Yes, I've read that ....... I'd reply by saying MVS showed good "explosion" off the line of scrimmage. Apparent lack of it in route running and "fluidity" too should be things that coaching can fix. Ditto that for the "hands" thing, which is probably more a matter of technique than anything else.

Hopefully, the comparisons to Davante Adams and James Jones after their second seasons are more valid. I'm certainly not 100% confident in him, but they must see something in him since they didn't draft a speed guy - or else, as I said, they just don't care to have a speedy wideout.

Amen. It’s what I’ve been saying for 3 years now. It’s just maddening because it makes too much sense.

Where have you said they should of drafted a WR?

I would take Antonio brown in a heartbeat. I do not believe the accusations and im a huge fan of his talent.

I’d be soooo happy. Our big power running game with Antonio Brown and Devante. OMG!!! It would push us over the top.

He would be cheap on a 1 year deal and 4 game suspension tops. He doesn’t even have any criminal charges. Let the man play.

This move would make me forgive everything.
