[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1055556, member: 17953"] In the meantime, with all the discussions on Watson, the team will have to move on and either sign a FA WR or bring one or two in through the draft, with the intent of him never playing again. There's no way they're going to stand with him. They're going to move on as if he's never playing another down with the team, even if they keep talking about him coming back. Based on the talent coming out, I see about 8 WRs taken in the first two rounds, maybe as many as 10s. There's some good hands and speed on the table to choose from. The question is, can the Packers afford to take someone in one of the first two picks, or wait until #3? Which would be in the mid 80s. If you can hold out until the 4th round, I'd go with Dont'e Thornton out of Tennessee. The guy runs a 4.3, is about 6-5, has long arms, and big hands. Speed and reach. Someone who can hand fight for those long balls and either get the catch or an interference call on plays. In the right system, where they can utilize his skills, he could be something special. I honestly believe he could bring field stretching skills to the Packers. You almost have to double team him to insure you can take those long arms out of play. Because of his length and hands, combined with his speed, he reminds a little bit of an undersized Calvin Johnson. That said, I've only watched him play in a couple of games on TV, and saw some clips of him, so I'm kind of guessing here. One of the things I liked was his hip rotation.
