Packers position preview: Plenty of receivers for Aaron Rodgers

With the top-three receiver spots likely set, the competition should be fierce for the last two or three spots. In addition to Abbrederis, Janis and White, the Packers think they have one of their best classes of undrafted rookie receivers, and Collins might be the best of that bunch.

Nelson, Cobb and Adams are elite, assuming Nelson is healthy. Monty and Abby make the team due to versatility, assuming Abby's knee is ready.

That leaves Janis competing with Coxson, Collins and Pinkard for that last spot. Not sure he has the versatility to be active week to week, but he has an extra year in the system, which will help him make the 53. Only question is whether or not that will be enough.

I'm excited about the WR's this year. If (and thats a BIG if, for sure) they all play up to potential, it could be an AWESOME offense! That, with Eddie Lacy.......WOW!
If our Defense can finally pull their weight, it could be a heck of a season!

Adams isn't elite by any definition you can find anywhere. We have two strong options in Jordy and RC18 and the rest are young guys trying to make their mark. Loads of potential, little to no production.

The more I think about it the more Reggie Wayne makes sense. We only have two legit playmakers. Who really knows what to expect from the rest of our group? Nobody. An injury to one of our Top 2, with our lack of a real TE, could really really hurt us.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Reggie Wayne hell no. Same for getting James Jones back - is that even being talked about?

Adams isn't elite, but he is good. Personally, I think Janis, given a chance, will be better than Adams. Abbrederis is healthy, could also be better than Adams. Hopefully, we keep Nelson, Cobb, Janis, Abbrederis, and Adams in approximately that order, plus Montgomery, and hopefully we can retain at least one, maybe two of those others on the practice squad.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
