[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 826108"] I expect the Packers to draft an OT in the first round, #44 at the latest. It's a mistake to think you're going to turn Rodgers into a Brees or Brady, dinking and dunking down the field to TEs, slots and RBs as much as I think it has been called for at times (and was used effectively all too briefly). That's not LaFleur's approach either. In Tennessee and reiterated since the Packers hired him, his modus operandi is to run the ball and throw deep which would have been a factor in his selection. The ability for a slot receiver to run block might be more important than a couple of quick twitch 10ths. in an agility drill. And it is not as though the incumbents don't have good athletic measurables. Consider Cobb's progression toward his centrality in 2012, his second year, and his huge 2014 season after an injury plauged 2013. That's a guy who had a 7.08 3-cone and a 4.34 short shuttle which syncs with the on-field eye test: not especially twitchy. How did that work? Cobb ran routes and scramble drills the way the QB expected. I recently ran across Chuckie doing an extended interview with Favre from 2016 I think it was. Favre stated repeatedly that regardless of the play call, his first look was for the big play. After two decades of Hall of Fame QBs operating in this way, you'd think Packer fans would be used to it. Dinking and dunking is not in the Packer prospectus. I would put the odds on a day 2 RB higher than a day 1 WR unless the brain trust believes last year's rookies are maxed out, which is quite doubtful. [/QUOTE]
