[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 863073, member: 7261"] I like Lazard, but I think you are assuming he is a solid #2, I don't agree, at least I wouldn't rely on him being just that in 2020. Gute made that mistake with Allison and MVS and I think it backfired. Also, without going back and tracking each guy that you list, I am going to guess that not all of them where drafted with the expectation/need to be an immediate contributor and thus saw reps as the #3 or #4 WR their rookie year? Now maybe that meant a few less snaps, but when you have better receivers around you (including TE's), odds are the defense is going to put less attention on that rookie and that helps with a rookies stats. Now when that rookie is being asked to be your #2 WR, they are going to get more attention, as well as the Packers are going to need more production out of them, given the lack of other receivers. Also, only 1 of those players you list spent his rookie season with Rodgers (Adams) and he didn't really light it up until what, his 3rd year? How long will a rookie need to get acclimated to the NFL and Rodgers? Again, you and i just have different philosophies. You are relying on the fact that we will see improvement from current guys, as well as a rookie. I'm not saying that it can't happen, but I wouldn't fully rely on it to happen. I would hedge my bet by spending $5-7M on a slot receiver to make sure Rodgers has enough weapons, but still use a high pick on your future #2 WR. [/QUOTE]
