2022 Second Round Pick, #34, Christian Watson Discussion Thread

[RashanGary]

I feel that way about every prospect. You can never guarantee how guys are going to turn out. But I don't have any reason to doubt Watson anymore than I have reason to doubt. Drake London

Yeah, I have questions about all of the guys from this draft. Garrett Wilson, Olave, Williams and Dotson all have size questions. Drake London is a possession type who thrives in tight quarters and has a speed question. Burks has a speed question and whether he really understands the game question. Watson doesnt really use his size well boxing out and doesnt win on his breaks.

I dont think any of them are slam dunks and all of them do enough different things well that you picture them contributing.

We got a vertical weapon with some underneath ability in the second round. We probably got the best deal.

And like has been said, Watson fits what we do with the run game and vertical ability.

[RashanGary]

Watson is MVS with a comeback route and better YAC.

If MVS was a 700 yard guy, Watson might be 1,000.

I thought Watson showed potential for a back shoulder too. If he masters that, he might be a vertical #1 WR.

[Fritz]

I like the Toure kid, the seventh rounder. I think he'll develop and by mid-year-three be the real deal.

Watson has had his share of drops according the the mediaheads watching TC; not over the top excesssive but enough

Romeo has been more consistent there and appears more developed but Watson has the upside.

And whispers....Jordan Love has looked ok

[RashanGary]

I watched a little bit of the QBs when I went to practice. Love looked clearly more athletic than Rodgers. Was accurate on all but one throw.

But it all changes with a pass rush and disguised defenses.

I doubt Love will be good but theres still an outside chance.

In OTAs this was true. No drops for Watson in minicamp, but Doubs had some drops. Normal rookie stuff.

Best part of offseason is making shit up and then fighting about it. Packers gave us a lot of joy this offseason with this draft class.

Watson has incredible potential. I have been drinking homer juice on him more and more. By the start of training camp I could see myself saying he will break rookie td record.

EARLY ON I even heard some severe fluffy's about Amari Rodgers......BUT now reality has set in.

Whispers that Rodgers doesn't deserve a roster spot are leaking. NOW......Watson, and Romeo, and even the 7th rounder...............have been flashing really good at practices

I’ve actually heard good things about Amari this camp. He’ll probably be taking Cobb’s snaps by the end of the year.

[Joemailman]

He did have a very good day at one of the minicamp practices. At any rate, with Watkins, Cobb and Lazard all unrestricted free agents after this year, there's almost no way he doesn't make the team.

GREEN BAY – Amari Rodgers had a good practice on Day 2 of the Green Bay Packers’ minicamp.

The second-year receiver caught a 15-yard pass over the middle from Aaron Rodgers with cornerback Rasul Douglas draped all over him to convert a third-and-10 during a 2-minute drill.

Later in that drive, he made a fingertip catch on a wheel route that Rodgers overthrew on second down.

And he made an impressive one-handed grab in the end zone that drew “oohs” from teammates during a drill in which the ball is purposely thrown behind the receiver.

Please, God.

There you go. Our Adams replacement...

[RashanGary]

Christian Watson 50% bust
Doubs 65% bust
Amari Rodgers 80% bust
Toure 90% bust

Well be lucky if we get one player out of this group of misfits.

I feel a lot better about the OL we took the last few years. Runyan, Newman, Rhyan, Tom. I like their chances.
