Joemailman's Official Packer Mock Draft

Burks consistently outran defenders. Don't care what a stop watch has to say about it.

Janis truly was an elite kind of athletic freak. Shame we couldn't turn him into a better pro.

I have really warmed up on Treylon Burks. I think no matter what a good receiver will be there at pick 22. I just worry that they will have someone rated higher and then stick to their board and end up with no receivers. Yikes.

Kupp is successful in the same manner that the dark esquire is so successful practicing law: underestimation…see onion thread in FYI for more.

I think Burks has sufficient football speed, but he's not an MVS type. I don't think he's a bigger version of Deebo or AJ Brown. He reminds me of Anquan Boldin. I think he can break tackles, create size mismatches, and does pretty good with contested catches. He's not a great route runner or anything. They did some gadget stuff with him and that worries me a little because that makes me wonder if he's a WR or if he's just a bigger Ty Montgomery. MLF is sharp enough where they'd figure out how to use him.

Not sure which time vs. Alabama, but there was one game where he looked like one of the few Razorback players who was as good or better than anyone on Alabama. He was giving their secondary all they could handle.

I won't be upset if they take him in R1, but I sure wouldn't trade up for him.

I do think MLF would figure out how to use him. In my opinion, MM never did figure out how to utilize Montgomery. Or Cobb for that matter. But I think MLF would find various ways to get the ball into Burks' hands. And that's all you have to do. He is a tough guy to tackle.

Agree. I actually think an in-prime Ty would have been a really interesting weapon in the MLF offense. In fact I think Ty could have been a closer comp to Deebo than Burks.

I think Burks can be a productive pro, but he has to be used in situations where he has a chance to succeed. I don't think you can just line him up as an X and expect him to beat CBs off the line like Adams did. The concern with him being a bit of a gadget guy is whether he can ever be anything more...and if not, do you want to spend a R1 for him? He's gotta be a playmaker for it to be worth it.

Pre-combine, Burks was considered a top-15 pick and possibly the 1st WR taken. He was basically a focal point of an SEC offense, and he was up to the challenge. Christian Watson tested amazing, but compared to most SEC defenses he might as well have been playing against paint cans.
I think both Burks and Watson have bust potential, but if they think they are scheme fits and Vrable can coach them up then I'm ok with drafting them.

Can you imagine how good Burks would be if he wasn't so damn slow?

Great mock!

If it were to unfold like this the Packers would be elated. Gotta believe in Rodgers would actually be happy.
