While I agree with Captain on the Packers needing to add a decent WR next season, I don't think a WR has to be "expensive", to be good, especially if the contract is structured favorably. I also don't think that the Packers have to limit themselves to the list above. There is always the trade route or guys getting cut. The Packers need to find a vet that matches up with Rodgers (if he is back) and the Packers system. Seems every year that a player underperformed, was injured or just needs a fresh start, that is the WR the Packers need to find.
As far as Lazard goes, I think he has had plenty of time and opportunities to excel in GB. While he is an ok WR, I doubt he ever becomes a top 30 WR. Would I want him back in GB? Sure, at the right price, but not if it comes down to resigning him and staying pat with the current group. Same with Cobb. I like Cobb, but the Packers need more at the WR group than they currently have.
Yes, both Watson and Doubs should continue to improve, but there are always injuries, dips in progress and it never hurts to have 3-4 really decent WR's.
The other route to go, albeit a risky one, is the draft. This would be my choice if Rodgers is leaving and Love is taking over. If the Packers end up with a top 10 pick and can parlay that into more high picks, I can see them nabbing both TE Michael Mayer and a top WR. Couple those 2 with Watson and Doubs...and it could be a deadly group for defenses to defend.
