[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 869574, member: 7261"] I think this statement sums it up for me. Many like yourself are fully expecting a rookie to grab the second spot, based on how weak the current group is. So yes, I would agree, a top rookie WR's chances of being higher on the depth chart than Jordy, Cobb or Adams were in their rookie seasons is higher. However, I am not so sure that that will be a direct reflection of that Rookies abilities, more than just how weak our WR talent is. Given all that, I still would not conclude that just because a rookie WR is your #2 on this Packer team, he is going to have a really solid Rookie year. Again, I point out MVS and Allison, both guys who were viewed as our #2 and #3 guys for 2019. Their position on the depth chart did not automatically make them solid contributors. Your last add-on there "otherwise Gutekunst might have chosen the wrong one" is kind of odd. Sounds like you are hedging a bit and not willing to see what that rookie WR does in his 2nd or 3rd seasons? He is a bad pick if he doesn't perform in year 1? I am fine with agreeing to disagree, but it seems like you are equating the idea that simply by draft position and depth chart placement, a high round rookie will automatically be a #2 guy and thus will perform like one. I just can't get on board with relying on that for 2020. I just don't want to rely on a rookie getting on the same page with Rodgers, learning the playbook, getting acclimated to the NFL and all this while COVID-19 will probably eliminate much of the work a rookie normally gets after he is drafted.
