[RashanGary]

We're actually sitting in the spot were the highest number of good receivers get taken. 7 out of 20 quality receivers were taken in the 15 slots between pick 22 and pick 37.

25 picks taken before pick 22 in 10 years. 2.5 per year.


The odds of all of these receivers being taken before we pick at 22 is slim. NOBODY is going to be drafting Jamison Williams and his 182 pound body in the first round, with an ACL, with no combine, with one year of production. It's not going to happen.

Garrett Wilson will probably be gone. After that, any of the top WR's could make it to pick 22. Olave, Drake London or Burks all have a good shot at being there. Jameson Williams will be there and we will not take him.

Still think he has elite talent.

I will Bet you a Beer at the Famous Oval Office in Green Bay that Jamison Williams is drafted in round one ? Do you accept the challenge ? )

I think Williams will still go in the first round. You need to pay up at the Oval Office.

If you are right, the beer RG buys me will be the best tasting ever

[RashanGary]

I dont even think hes the prospect that Justin Jefferson was coming out and Jefferson went 22 with no ACL.

Teams are going to be passing up right now talent in the first round to select a 182 pound receiver with a torn ACL. I dont see it happening.

I agree he's not the prospect but I also think that draft was much better. 21 players need to be picked before 22. Normally 3-4 are QBs. I have my doubts that any are QBs this year.

I think Jameson Williams gets picked Round 1.

I think RG's right about the likelihood of hitting on a WR drops somewhere in R3, and you generally need to run 4.55 or better at 195+ pounds. If you're lighter, you're probably smaller and faster.
I'd also say that in most offenses the outside receiver and the slot receiver are two very different body/athlete-types so there's that also.

I wouldn't shocked at all if Gute waits until Day 2 to take a WR, and that he takes one on Day 3 as well. The Packer fan universe might explode but depending on the pick and scheme fit it might be ok.

There's way too much smoke and lies and mock drafts happening right now. Take a few days away and you'll be amazed at the way players have moved up or down on some pundit's board, like they know any better than the rest of us what Gute or anyone will do.

Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa ran a better 3 cone than Jahan Dotson. Thats weird.

It looks like it drops way off after the first 10 picks of the 3rd round.

WR is a position you can get in the second round about as effectively as you can the first round. But its also a position that if you dont take by the beginning or round 3, youre probably not going to get a guy.

I have absolutely no evidence at all supporting what my view is.

But it seems to be, from past history, that all the quality WR's get plucked by about pick 55.

I remember multiple times in the past ten years several went right before our pick and it seems like we are always in the 58 to 60 mark.

Go look at the top 20 receivers I posted. Several were early 3rd round. But none after that.
