    I will vote for Aaron Jones
    My second option would be Sammy Watkins; while he's underachieved through his career this is his ideal chance to shine for at least a decent payday next year. And he has more talent than our vet guys.

    I am cautiously optimistic about Watson but if he gets 45 to 50 catches in Year one and 750 years that would be great

    Romeo, oh Romeo, it would not surpise me if he starts out better than Watson, and even has more catches at end of yr. Maybe a better season. But I think long term Watson will be better.

    Cobb is Cobb; he'll occasionally get open on a scramble and uses his football smarts to get open but his best days are far behind him. If not for AROD's ticket, he'd never stick on this team

    Lizard is really an ideal #4 WR IMO. Great guy; has a rapport with Rodgers. But he's just not that talented.

    And last but not least, is Gute's typical 3rd round draft pick in Amari. Hopefully he shows something, and if not hopefully Gute has the stones to say goodbye
    All of the above is correct IMO.

      I think Jones gets the most just because the WR corps is so diluted.
      This is what I'm thinking. If they play Dillon and Jones together a lot I can see lots of wheel routes and things like that. I'm not sure having a RB be the receptions leader is a good thing, but it's forseeable that it could be so.

        It's not ideal, but it can work if the QB and RB's are elite. Ahman Green led the Packers in receptions in 2001, and was 2nd in 2002. Packers had the #6 offense in 2001 and #12 in 2002.

          Favre threw one of the best screens in the game, but became inaccurate the deeper the route. Rodgers is nearly dead opposite. I can't imagine a RB leading the team in receptions for a Rodgers offense.

            Aaron Jones had 52 receptions in 2021 while missing 2 games. He could get that up to 60. If the Packers have a WR by committee situation, I could possibly see no WR's getting to 60. Watkins and Cobb are the only 2 WR's on the roster who have ever gotten to 60, and neither is a good bet to last the whole season. Maybe Lazard, but he's had injury issues as well.Watson? He's starting out on PUP which could hurt his chances of being productive early.

              Doubs, who is not in the poll, is the early leader.
