WHO DEVELOPS INTO the NUMBER ONE WIDE RECEIVER in GB ?

[RashanGary]

I think you may be forgetting how good Driver was. He had 6 consecutive 1000+ yard seasons. I see Doubs as more of a James Jones-level receiver, which is great if he's your 4th most talented WR. I agree that Wicks has the potential to be a lot like what Adams was. I thought Reed would be a Cobb-type guy but he's more explosive than Cobb. He probably has as much in common with Jennings as he does with Cobb. When Watson was drafted, I thought he had the most potential to be a Randy Moss-type talent out of all the WR's in that great class. Still does if he's past the hamstring problems. It willbe interesting to see how long the Packers, with current WR salaries, can keep the group together. They had Driver, Jennings, Jordy and Jones together for 5 seasons (2008-2012).

Completely agree. Consistent 700 yard seasons, probably plays 8 years in the league.

I remember how good driver was. He wasn't great though. He was good for a decade. A pros pro. Doubs plays nothing like Jones, he plays like Driver. Driver was also the main guy for a lot of years when he probably shouldn't have been. If you surround Doubs with guys like Malik Heath he will have 6 1k seasons also. You're probably right though. He isn't likely to quite be driver. More like 6 consecutive 800 yard seasons.

Joe and I weren’t saying he’s like Jones at all, just similar in production level. Doubs is a step slow and not big enough to be a possession guy. He won’t last past 30. That part is similar to Jones. But he’ll rack up a few thousand yards in 8 years.

[Scott Campbell]

I think Bo Melton deserved to be in the poll, given the way he played down the stretch.

I don't know about #1 - I hope it remains by committee - but I do think, when it's down-and-dirty clutch time, that fourth-down you HAVE to have, that Love likes to find Doubs.

So far, but I could see it become Wicks.

[King Friday]

Wicks is the guy who had the highest ceiling. Watson is an elite deep threat, but he’s never going to be a guy who can get 7 yards on 3rd and 6 consistently. Reed has a great chance at being an elite slot receiver, but he won’t have the size to be a consistent deep threat. Wicks is the only one of the three to have that ability to do both and develop in a manner that Adams did.

[RashanGary]

I think Reed might have the down field ability of Greg Jennings or Steve Smith Jr

Wicks is much more in the mold of your prototype #1 receiver. TO, Adams, Kupp, Jordy, Keenan Allen. The list of big body receivers with just enough speed and top tier route running ability is endless. Probably half of all leading receivers fall into this group.


If I could vote again, I’d vote Wicks. I said Reed and still think it could be. And it could be Watson too.

Doubs is the one I give almost no chance to.

Grandtroller B intentionally left him off. He didn’t want to hear the peoples truth.

[Bretsky]

It's Wicks IMO. Doubs is what he is; a relialbe decent WR ....just decent . Not many are arguing for him

[Bretsky]

INTRESTING FACT came out with media interviews. DID YOU KNOW

Wicks and Reed rented out a VRBO this offseason to run through some intense workouts and train together in Florida. I found that interesting. Chemistry building; hard workers; good people....

[Fritz]

That’s the mystery of sports. Somehow you play better together when you know whether the guy across from you likes Cheerios or Cinammon Toast Crunch for breakfast.

INTERESTING COMMENTS from Flower . Goodby Toure ?

Melton has taken the momentum from the end of last season and built on it this offseason, and LaFleur didn't hold back with his praise.

"I think it's a great story. Just being persistent and to continue to push forward even when the stacks are put up against you," said LaFleur. "He's done an outstanding job. He is so disciplined in his approach and how he is, and he's so consistent on a daily basis. He brings so much value. He brings a lot of energy to our team."

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, Melton is great, just like the three in the poll plus Doubs. The Packers are really blessed with a bunch of excellent ones. I hope they don't give up on Toure, though. He's basically as good as your average WR on NFL rosters. Heath is pretty good too, and we haven't even seen what Dubose can do.

You make it sounds like we can get multiple firsts for all these guys They have a ton to prove before I'd call any of them great.
