[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 869541"] You're trying really hard to overlook that as a possibility though ;) First of all the success of rookie wide receivers last season wasn't anything special, actually Diontae Johnson's league leading 59 receptions only ranks 23rd among all rookie wide receivers since 2008 (12 ranked above him were drafted after the first round). Rodgers never had a rookie receiver drafted in the early rounds near the top of the depth chart, therefore the data regarding him and first year WR isn't of any importance. It seems he doesn't have any issues trusting an inexperienced receiver as evidenced by undrafted Allen Lazard catching 35 balls for 477 yards in 11 games last season though. As a side note, I have absolutely no idea why you brought up Crosby in this discussion. As I've posted above the 2019 rookie receiver class actually wasn't anything special compared to past seasons. The Packers would be significantly improved by adding a reliable slot receiver as well. I saw that you listed wide receiver as one of the biggest needs, just wanted to make it clear once again that the Packers need to draft one early in my opinion. I'm not advocating for Gutekunst to spend a first round pick on the position no matter what but think he needs to select one with the team's second pick at the latest. I realized that you put an "if" there, my point was that it's a huge question mark with him though. [/QUOTE]
