I feel like I've heard this line from many different teams and it feels like it rarely get fixed.

Lots of Packers WRs have had a season or two of struggling to catch the ball in the pros, but Ted Thompson seemed to target receivers with great hands in college... and they still would have a down year in the pros... as they're trying to speed things up, and make more errors. 

But once in a while, it does work for a team, but that's more of the exception than what normally happens, but teams keep chasing it. But it's what a late 5th rounder?

7th rounder WR Grant Dubose is extremely raw and will take more time to develop, and you never know how much a guy wants it especially when they start getting paid, but I feel like his weak areas are more coachable, even though there are more of them and would take longer.

If there were better players available, the Packers would have taken one of them imo. 

Rather than take someone small and slow who can't get open but catches cleanly, they took Wicks. Dude ran slow at the combine but 4.57 at his pro day. Short area burst,, altheticism, dude can get open. 

Work on his concentration, get him on the jugs machine. My buddy is a hypnotist in Green Bay. Work with him on concentration.

But you can't teach size and speed. 

Just a thin draft after the top 10. This was Gutey's strategy. Take a risk on this dude instead of one of those other dudes.
