Dontayvion Wicks Is the Packers’ Next Franchise Receiver

Wicks’ playing style has drawn comparisons to former Packers receiver Davante Adams. Like Adams, Wicks exhibits exceptional route-running precision, allowing him to create separation from defenders and make himself available as a reliable target for his quarterback. Both Wicks and Adams demonstrate crisp route breaks, enabling them to quickly change direction and leave defenders trailing in coverage.

Calling it now, Wicks will be the #1 guy by the end of next season.

Doubs thrives as the contested catch specialist

Being able to make contested catches is nice but thriving at it is not something to strive for. Better description for Doubs I believe would be the "jack of all trades with strong hands guy."

I really wish we knew what we had in Watson. He has had some amazing games interspersed with much time in the rehab tub.

Not to argue on the merits of Wicks or Reed or Watson, but I have always had a problem with the psychological need to had a designate "#1" or "franchise" receiver. With the advent of NFL offenses, other than goal line situations there are rarely fewer than 2 wide outs, and a plurality of the time 3.

Its not like having a #1 running back, because a majority of the time, there only is on running back and you have to have a #1 or I guess people would call it a feature back.

As far as our offense goes, I LOVE the balance of having 3 or 4 wideout threats (in addition to 2 TE threats.) It give us great balance and a much more difficult scheme to defend. With a strong, well-balanced group, we can attack defensive weaknesses more effectively irrespective or who our #1 is .

Further, I think having a #1 or feature guy brings locker room and contract issues which I would rather not have.

Go Packers!!!!

Watson will be out 6 games and the injured player who had all the potential in the world to be great. (aka Javon Walker)
