[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 550913, member: 9033"] If the Packers let one of their WRs walk, it will be Cobb, not Nelson. It's really weird that somehow the "30 and over" rule for running backs has been applied to basically every position in the NFL outside of QB. Last year, Andre Johnson (32) was the third leading WR in the NFL. Brandon Marshall is currently 30, Anquan Boldin is 33, Larry Fitzgerald is 30, Vincent Jackson is 31, Marques Colston is 30, Wes Welker is 32...Reggie Wayne was 35 and averaging 72 yards receiving per game before he blew out his knee and he had over 1,300 yards receiving last year at age 34! WRs can play after the age of 30. Jarett Boykin could easily become a #2 WR. Look at last year. In 200 fewer snaps than James Jones he had 681 yards receiving vs Jones' total of 817 (and Finley wasn't playing then either). Boykin was a second year player, you can't possibly project that last year was his ceiling, he should continue to improve. And I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic about your New England comment but let's remember that New England has gone quite a bit further in the playoffs than the Packers have the last couple seasons. Also let's remember that we have a legit running game now so the team shouldn't need as many high quality receivers since we should hopefully be throwing the ball slightly less. We should certainly draft a WR but I'm not sure that you're giving the guys currently on the roster the credit they should probably receive. White should improve, Chris Harper could be very good (4th round pick cut by the Seahawks) and Kevin Dorsey could make the same leap that Boykin did. Yes, WR is a core competency which is why it shouldn't be too much of a worry. Thompson has proven capable of finding wide receivers. Again though, you're not taking into account a better running game which should de-emphasize the passing game to an extent. [/QUOTE]
