If they do get Love to see the field better, I think the numbers Doubs puts up will be pretty darned good. For some reason, people think that any WR that doesn't catch 90 or more passes and over 1,100 yards is second rate. I don't get it. The objective is to have "complementary receivers" on the field that offer a multitude of different options on each play. Doubs is the guy you can throw to in tight quarters and comes through. It's the physicality of how he plays, and what it does on plays. Golden is the jet. He's supposed to draw double coverage and get past defenders for that long one. I've watched him play his entire college career, and even though his numbers in school are impressive, I don't think this guy is quite as good as what the Packers think he is. His speed can be neutralized if he can't get off the LOS quickly. He's not great when it comes to creating "plan B" in his mind. He also takes plays off. If he's not going to get the ball, he often has a tendency to signal it in how he leads up to the play. Tipping the fact that you're not the receiver on a play when the whole intent you're supposed to draw double coverage is like adding additional defenders to the field to cover other receivers.I still like Watson as a field stretcher. He's injured. So what? If he comes back and plays the way he's capable it's worth the wait. In the meantime, we have a solid receiving corps from what I've seen. Good enough to be competitive and there's a couple of guys out there beside Doubs that I think can light it up when called on, so we weren't hurting going into the year even if we hadn't grabbed a receiver. Mecole Hardman has flashed a 4.22 time in the 40 and let's face it, that's faster than the time of Golden which is 4.29. Interestingly enough, they could both end up on the field at the same time and that should create havoc and opportunities for Doubs, Reed, etc. My biggest concern is still the defensive line. We don't need bodies out there we need a couple of playmakers and that didn't seem to be important in this draft, and it should have been. If you want a defense that's in the top 5 or 6, you better have those guys in that front 4 who can disrupt both passes and runs.</blockquote>
