I didnt even know he was still in the league after all he was like 4th string for KC last time I seen him. But yeeeaaaahhhh we signed a veteran Wide out and I am not made about it as its a cheap one year prove it deal. They still need to draft 2 this year. I am hoping for Williams and maybe Austin.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think this means a wr in the first or second round and bargain shopping for a wr in the fourth round.

Speed guy, plugging holes before the draft. Takes pressure off, reduces temptation to reach if the board doesn't fall Gutey's way.

Now they have to "bargain shop" in later rounds for WRs because they signed Sammy Watkins?

I'd still like to pull Christian Watson and Chris Olave out of this draft. Not like they lost picks getting Watkins.

So for 2023, only WR Rodgers is locked up, if you don't get two high potential guys, then WR is a need again in 2023.

Also 2019 was the last year Cobb, Lazard or Watkins played a complete season. Though they often get to 10 games, but they miss a few, so we need the rookies to potential be able to step up.

I think a first round receiver is more likely start in his first year.

The packers have had great success picking talented receivers in the second round but none of them were real contributors in their first year.

The fourth round is we’re you get guys with natural gifts but are not fully rounded receivers.

It is a decent signing. It raises the floor and might raise the ceiling as well. We shall see. Depending on when the WR run takes place it could be that the Packers take a 1st and 3rd round pick in the draft.
Keep in mind all most all rookies are pretty bad. There have not been very many Justin Jeffersons to come along and shine in year 1. Sammy helps bridge into their second season.

I like the Watkins signing. It MIGHT take the pressure off a first round receiver. The draftee doesn’t have to be the man from game one. He won’t have to know the entire route tree from day one and can maximize what he does well early in the season. By mid season he can step up his play.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!
Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste
Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.
beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.
beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there
Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
