[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 869572"] Yet Rodgers had no issue targeting undrafted Allen Lazard 52 times over the last 11 games of last season. Once again, you have to realize that the Packers had two receivers who eclipsed both 1,000 receiving yards in the rookie seasons of each Nelson and Adams. With the lack of talent at wide receiver on the roster I would fully expect a rookie selected early to grab the second spot on the depth chart, otherwise Gutekunst might have chosen the wrong one. MVS is a different story as he was already in his second season last year and a fifth round pick on top of it. As I've mentioned in the post above the 2019 wide receiver class wasn't anything special compared to other years. Therefore there's no reason to act as if there haven't been successful rookie WRs in the past who even were selected after the first round. I wanted the Packers to add a veteran tight end in free agency to improve the receiving corps but obviously that hasn't happened. While Funchess adds some experience and talent signing him isn't enough to cut it for me. At this point the draft is the most likely option to upgrade the position. If you have any other ideas please feel free to let me know but so far I haven't seen you post any. I won't turn this into another discussion about Crosby. [/QUOTE]
