So everyone seems to be in agreement that come the 23rd pick this year, we're probably leaning towards something like an O-lineman, or a corner, maybe a safety. I couldn't agree more with going in that direction, we need help in those areas for sure.
However, after having a conversation with my uncle over the weekend (my uncle being the longest running/biggest packer fan I know, and I trust his opinion more than just about anyone), he seems concerned with the future of our receiving corps. We talked about what a stud Jennings is, but just that he is constantly getting doubled up on because of it, which leaves Driver getting so many throws to him. But its obvious that Driver is getting older, he just can't get down field like he used to. He can still make a move and get down there, but he just doesn't have the speed that he used to. And it hurts me to say that, because of how much I love Driver. After our 1 and 2 guys, we have Jones and Jordy. We have seen some flashes of brilliance from both of them, but not necessarily anything consistent enough to show us one of them can step us at the number 2 guy just yet. I expressed my opinion to me uncle, that I like both guys a lot and think they both have potential to step up, especially Jordy. I really do think Jordy can grow into something great. My uncle agreed that he would like to see some more of Jordy.
But of course then we both agreed on the gleaming outstanding individual from our corps that gives us so much hope, Jermichael Finley. With Finley, as we have seen this last season, so many options are opened up with our offense. Rodgers should be able to continue to use him, hopefully with increasing positive affect.
So anyway, what is everyone else's take on the future of our receiving corps?
