[QUOTE="sschind, post: 959306, member: 10247"] Like Knowledge says Watson is coming to a team without a #1 WR. I believe he will get more opportunities to be that guy than he would if we were not so depleted at WR. That is why I feel he could put up very good numbers. I agree with James Jones that he is a dark horse candidate for OROY. A similar opportunity is there for Doubs and even to a lesser extent Toure. They don't have a lot of stellar competition so if they can pick things up early they have a very good opportunity to contribute. What the Packers have done historically has no impact on how Watson develops. When people say the Packers have done pretty well developing day 2 talent my reply is they had no choice. They had 2 HOF QBs for the last how many years and they never had much for 1st round WRs. HOF QBs are obviously talented on their own but I don't think they become HOF level without some WR help along the way. If a QB plays at that level its clear that some non day 1 WRs are going to develop. In the Packers case it had to be day 2 guys because IMO their day 3 selections pretty much sucked. Ill give you 1 A+ in Donald Driver and a C+ in MVS and thats about it. So thats my take. The rookies have a chance to contribute based on their talent and their team situation and not based on where they were drafted. Of the three if 1 becomes an all pro, 1 becomes decent and 1 washes out, I don't really care which is which. It is still 1 all pro, 1 decent and 1wash out. [/QUOTE]
