[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 71050, member: 170"] By Pete Dougherty PackersNews.com The Green Bay Packers need immediate help at receiver. The problem is, receiver is among the most difficult positions for an NFL team to get immediate help from its draft, even with an early-round pick. In the last five years, 71 receivers have been selected in the first two rounds of the draft. In their rookie seasons, they’ve averaged a paltry 21.0 receptions. About 30 percent of them (21) had 40 receptions or more as a rookie; only 7 percent (five) had 50 receptions or more; and only two, Arizona’s Anquan Boldin (101) and Houston’s Andre Johnson (66) had 60 receptions or more. When those draft numbers are broken down to second-round picks, only six of 23 caught at least 40 passes, and only Boldin caught 50 or more. So Greg Jennings, a second-round draft pick by the Packers, will be bucking the odds if he’s a significant contributor in his rookie season. “I’m hoping (Jennings) is one of those six,†[/QUOTE]
