[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 871331, member: 12283"] I keep kicking around various ideas, and of the realistic options, I keep coming back to one guy: [B]Michael Pittman Jr, WR, USC [/B] In terms of skill-set, Pittman is not the exact type that the Packers need. He has some YAC ability, but it isn't the mainstay of his game. [B]Metrics: [/B] Pittman is 6'4" 223 lbs. He ran a 4.52 at the combine, he had a 36.5" vert, 121" broad, 6.96 three cone, and 4.14 short shuttle. These are all good numbers for a bigger receiver. His sparq score places him in the 86th% of NFL receivers. [B]Production: [/B] He caught 101 passes for 1,275 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2019. He was good for 41/758/6 in 10 games in 2018. [B]Traits:[/B] [LIST] [*]Smooth mover with explosive COD despite being a big receiver. [*]Excels getting off of press coverage with both quickness and power. [*]Runs routes and separates like a smaller player. [*]Excellent body control to make difficult catches along the sideline. [*]Some of the best hands in the entire class-- 2.7% drop rate and caught 90% of catchable balls. [*]QB friendly in coming back to the QB when the play breaks down (Rodgers ++). [*]Surprisingly productive after the catch for such a big player. [*]Does a good job with positioning on vertical plays, stacking corners and then boxing them out. [*]Really seems to relish his ability to destroy people in the running game. [/LIST] Additionally, he's be a really productive special teams contributor. He's accrued 17 tackles, 3 blocked punts, and a PR touchdowns over his time at USC (the touchdown was a trick play return). [B]Projection: [/B]I believe Pittman is pro ready enough to become the #2 passing option during his rookie year. Funchess and/or Lazard can compete for snaps as big slots, but Pittman should be able to work his way into starter snaps relatively early as the X or Z across from Adams. I believe that he's good enough to become the #1 option in the WR corps down the road, if and when they decide to let Adams walk. [B]Comparison: [/B]I see Pittman stylistically in the same vein as Courtland Sutton, but he's more refined than Sutton was coming out of SMU. If they can snag him via trade down, that's great. But he's my guy for pick #30. [/QUOTE]
