This is my exact sentiment when people talking about grabbing a retread vets.
BUT, this concept MUST be abandoned when it concerns receivers in the Mike McCarthy system. Rookies simply will not be dependable or productive. When they are not dependable it sabotages drives; causes INTs; and causes Aaron Rodgers to pull down his throw and perhaps get squashed by angry DLmen.
A dedicated smart vet, who already is a disciplined route runner [EG Reggie Wayne], can be productive w/in 4-6 weeks; a vet already familiar with the system sooner. In this system James Jones or a mentally rehabilitated Boykin will be more productive than any of the WR's drafted in 1st round this year. Its a simple fact.
The Youngins will develop almost as fast by practicing; so lets very very slightly stunt their growth, which ill be negligible by end of yr 2 and win a SB now.
