I would rather have had Matthews or Latimer even Moncrief, but not Cooks.

There is caution on TT's record of 2nd round WR's... a lot of the guys who were there when those guys were drafted are gone. Do we know Ted Thompson is the WR genius, or was it one of the many who departed...Schneider, Dorsey, McKenzie or one of the scouts? Ted Thompson gets the credit but who did the work? Yes, Ted Thompson has to sign off on any pick but I'd be curious to know who is the real brains behind all that credit given to Ted Thompson for his 2nd round success?

In 6 of his 14 games Davante didn't break 100 yards in that offense. He put up multi 200 yard games vs. substandard competition. A lot of his catches were screens, like Cooks.

I'll bet you right now, barring injury for either player, that Matthews puts up better numbers than Adams. Not only better numbers but significantly better numbers.

Man, I hope you're right... I just see a man who'll be lucky to give us James Jones production.

I'll go one step further...Abbrederis will have a better Packers career...not first season, but career in Green Bay.

He had 10 catches for 53 yards in those two tomato can games and I don't care if he was pulled or not it ain't a 100 yard game. Why didn't they pull him vs. Idaho? Fresno St. won that one 61-14. What about New Mexico? Fresno St. won that one 69-28.

So, because he was pulled he had OVER 100 yards in those games? With that logic, I can see why you think this guy is going to be better than Sterling Sharpe.

He had a top notch college QB throwing to him vs. tomato cans and he put up big numbers just as Isaiah Burse did who put up 99 receptions which is better than Watkins, Evans, Lee etc... The inflated numbers don't mean diddly as to how he'll be in the NFL. He could be one of the biggest busts at WR in Packers history. You have him better than Sterling Sharpe based on the mirage of numbers he put up. All NFL teams knew how many catches yards and TD's he had and 8 WR's were picked before he was. Why? All 8 teams are stupid? No... All 8 teams knew this guy wasn't Sterling Sharpe. Heck, the Packers know it, too. If they thought he was Sterling Sharpe they would've taken him at 21 in Round 1, not Round 2.

Enthusiasm is fine... but when you start saying some 2nd round draft pick is going to be better than Sterling Sharpe that's just ... I don't even know how to put it.

As for Latimer... terrible QB play. Put him out in Fresno with David Carr and that offense and I'll bet you he would've outdone Adams numbers.

It's almost like saying Pack will be 16-0 next season based on this draft. It might be even stronger.

FYI it is all good, and I knew what I was doing when I said that. Some don't like statements like that. But I believe this kid is going to be special.

And really, my very first reference was just that I thought Adams looked like Sharpe. Just that he looked like him....
