[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 957813, member: 17953"] The thing about rookies is that even if they're going to be great NFL players during their careers, they're unpredictable in year one. If you get one who can make a mark for themselves during their first year, you're fortunate, but don't count on it. That's what makes each team's draft a little different. Can you afford to sit and wait while a guy starts to earn his check? Then there's guys like Rashan Gary, who take several years to develop, and when they finally do, and you're getting value, they're about to get a big check from someone else, after you paid the freight in getting him ready for that day. The dilemma is always there. This year, the Packers need to catch lightning in a bottle, and get someone who can catch the ball, and understands what's needed to do so, with Rodgers at QB, in the LeFleur system. Not pushing any particular player, but I think the guy most fit to do this that quickly isn't even an early pick. I see David Bell out of Purdue as the guy who can step up in year one and be what they need. He's not going to awe you with speed, but he will look the part of a polished receiver with how he runs routes, and senses what needs to be done to create targets for Rodgers. I wouldn't mind seeing us get him after round one. Hopefully, in round 3. I watched a few of his games on TV this past year and saw him do things that I've only seen a handful of guys do with the Packers. Stuff that guys like Jordy and Adams did, to create space, and handle back shoulder catches, as well as physically battle for the ball. [/QUOTE]
