Doubs and Watson and Reed all IMO have started their careers when healthy better than almost any receiver I’ve witnessed (will be 39 next year).
Do you mean just Packers receivers? JaMarr Chase seemed to break out in a big way his rookie season for the Bengals. Jefferson had a big rookie season for the Vikings. Lofton was before your time but he was pretty good from the get go even when the Packers QB's were terrible. Both Jordy and Cobb started off slow. Part of the reason is the Packers had Driver, Jennings and J-Mike so there wasn't a big need to target those guys.

While I agree with this, you need to consider that all 3 were basically thrust right into action as rookies. More importantly, there weren't better/more experienced receivers ahead of them on the roster. That wasn't the case in Jordy or Davate's first few years with the Packers.

To be clear, I really don't consider Allen Lazard as a better receiver than any of them, maybe a better blocker. Lazard may have been more experienced in 2022, than Doubs and Watson but overall, all 3 current Packer WR's are more talented receivers than Lazard.

Oh I fully admit they didn’t have the vets ahead - so impossible to know wha the others might have been if thrust, but still remains what they have done was special.

In truth what MVS put up in his role in his young seasons was impressive, especially considering Adams was here and many say he was the first through third read.
