[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 954126, member: 17953"] Regardless as to how people want to disassociate the beginnings of Driver and Amari, the reality is that year one for almost all rookie receivers is a learning year. Only those who come onto a team that is without decent receivers really get a shot at being their reception leader from day one. Until he proves otherwise, there was something in Amari that they saw, that made them pick him when they did. He's not a big receiver, so best out of the slot, and not overly fast, at a little over 4.5 in the 40. But, if he does fill the needs, and learns from Cobb, he could be effective. So, let's assume we're set in the slot with Amari & Cobb. Now, let's say between arguably our 3 TEs who can produce, Tonyan, Deguara, and Lewis, along with one more if they choose, and probably will, that's two spots filled. Is Lazard ready to step up and be #1? Let's look at his stats. He's shown that he has the ability to step up, and this is his chance. Will he be our #1? I think he will, if for no other reason than his familiarity with Aaron, and the fact that Aaron was starting to feel some comfort with him as the #2 or #3. His catch percentage isn't over the top, but it's not bad either. He does know how to challenge for catches. I think he'll put up over 1,000 yards easily this year. To me, that leaves one spot open, and it could come from free agency, but I doubt it, because the Packers just can't afford a big bucks guy. It's possible they'll spend on of their first round picks on a plug and play type guy coming out of college. There are a few that are having their coming out party this year. Remember, the Packers run an offense that also likes to use RBs as receivers.
