The “sky’s the limit” for rookie Dontayvion Wicks, who has outperformed most of the rookies in this draft class and has become a key part of the Packers’ offense.

“A lot,” Love said on Wednesday when asked what he likes about Wicks. “I think just his personality, how he approaches coming into work every week, finding ways to get better. He’s always asking questions, always asking if he’s in the right spot, and then I think he’s a guy who’s in his coach’s ear all the time, trying to find ways to get better."



As much buzz as Musgrave and Reed have gotten, Wicks might outshine them all when it's said and done.

Also interesting how they refer to Adam's as a HoF lock. I thought he was on the outside looking in tbh.

2) I feel like the NFL Hall of Fame has gotten weaker and easier to get into in recent decades. As they seem to be more about inviting as many into the Hall Of Fame as the rules allow, which tries to sell more tickets, which I think is their goal, especially as supposedly the Hall of Fame is struggling financially.

3) Adams is currently #45 in career receiving yardage with about (rounding) 10,600 career yardage. To get in the top 10 of all time, a receiver would need about 14,350.

So Adams just needs 3,750 more career receiving yardage to be in the top 10 of all time. He was putting up 1,300 to 1,500 per season for a while there, but with injuries and QB issues, that's gone down this year, but still looks like he'll crack 1,000.

So if he can stay healthy and playing for 3 to 5 more years, I think he has a a legitimate shot, especially considering, I don't think anyone can argue he was the best WR in the NFL at least one year (possible two).

For at least the past ten years , there has been a logjam  at the wide receiver position  when it comes to Hall of Fame inductions. Some of the most spectacular specimens of our lifetimes have waited a long time  to receive their busts. Adams has been impressive, but I don't think cracking the top 10 in career yardage will be enough to secure a berth. I think he needs more than a year or two of league dominance to receive consideration. The fact that he got to play with Aaron Rodgers will probably hurt his cause rather than help it, though the fact that he had a great season with Raiders will be a point in his favor.

Seeing Reggie White's bust was cool, and the A Game for Life holographic locker room was impressive; but overall, I found the experience underwhelming and even kind of boring. I got there pretty late in the day and was still able to work my way through before closing time. I didn't find it worth the price of admission.

I am still impressed he held onto that TD pass against the Panthers as he took a big hit and left the game afterwards. This young WR and TE group gives you so much optimism for the future. Let's get the OL upgraded and a new coordinator on Defense and I am pretty excited.

Zero2Cool (59m) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (19h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (23h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab
dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.
dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it
TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
