With Jordy Nelson being gone who moves into the #2 wr spot? Is it Cobb? I’d say no because Cobb has never been able to produce outside the slot position. I’m having the feeling that MM and Gute are thinking WR by at least rd 2??

i think cobb's still the slot guy. i think we'll see graham out wide too sometimes like cook was. they'll draft a wr or two like they always do and i wouldn't be surprised if there's one picked up late in FA.

I do NOT wanna see Cobb on the outside.

Nor in the backfield.

Will be interesting to see what the plan is with Monty. I'm not saying he was a failure at RB, but I prefer Jones and Williams over him. I could see using him as a 3rd down back and an emergency WR, that is if he isn't put back to WR full time.

A slot receiver can be a #1 option, a #2 option, a #3 option or even a #4 option. Crazy, I know.

Adams is our #1, Cobb/Graham are #2/3, and I imagine we will sign/draft an outside (X or Z) WR. Your slot is typically a Y. So Graham and Cobb will be our Y receivers.

Can you imagine the fits the Packer Offense could give defenses with Graham and if Michael Clark's game comes together this year? I would be tempted to just have Rodgers toss up a hail mary once per set of downs. :D

You know sometimes the best bargain signings are the ones where the player has prove to not only the league but himself that he can still ball. Why shouldn't Green Bay go after Terrelle Pryor with an incentive laden one-year prove it deal? He's big, has speed (he has not lost a step), and produced with subpar QB play in Cleveland. He says he was hurt in Washington and tried to play through it. He could be a legitimate No. 2 and definitely can take the "top off" a defense. Adams, Pryor, Cobb, Allison along with Graham, Kendricks and the trio of backs (Montgomery, Jones, Williams) could be a scary offense. Opponents need to come into Lambeau with a palpable sense of fear.

There has been some draft speculation that if there is a run on D picks....Chubb, Fitz, Edmunds, Roquon, Hughes, Derwin, etc..and the 4-5 of the best system fits are off the board early, that GB could switch geers and go after Ridley. He’s well rounded and talented enough to be an immediate starter at Receiver. He could also be part of the solution to an answer for our overall lack of speed at Receiver

There’s always surprises by draft day and again, much depends on who we sign or cut before then.
Lots of work to still be done with current players and FAs

Pryor is an interesting prospect, only one good year (2016) and that was in Cleveland. Whether its injuries or another case of a guy to deep into his own head, he may be hungry enough to prove himself and what better place to do it than in Green Bay with #12. I honestly don't know much about him, other than he came out of OSU as a QB and has the size I love for a WR.

If Pyror is still a free agent a week from now, I'd take a look.

They should have been thinking that before cutting Nelson with he and Cobb in contract years, so they should be thinking about it harder now. They might have to think about a cornerback and another cornerback as well.

Stunning athleticism. I’ve always had the gut feeling that he was a 500 Million dollar airport with a deer stand control tower.

I like the thought of all the different play options available using a full house backfield set with Cobb,Montgomery and Williams motioning Cobb or Montgomery or both to see how opposing LB’s respond to being isolated.

Fine, as long as you promise me to never hand the ball off to Cobb ;)

As long as he is healthy, I see Jones as our #1 RB. As successful as Monty was when he was first switched to RB, I just don't see his body holding up, nor do I really like his running style, unless there is a big enough hole for him to get through.

I'm not all that concerned with WR. We have passing options and we have options on offense with a QB that should be able to make any and all work well. And if what they say about the offense is true, we won't need a WR as smart as our QB being able to decipher the 15 reads necessary during any given play to run the correct route.

I think Williams is going to be our "#1" because he's a bit more versatile. he can pass block, run or catch. Jones is definitely more dynamic with the ball in his hands, but i saw him get tossed right back into the QB's lap on more than 1 or 2 occassions. I think that's going to limit his opportunities earlier in games. After things have been set up he'll get more touches and be used as change of pace throughout a game. If he strengthens up his pass protection, he's our most dynamic runner. But right now I think Williams is the most durable in terms of running the entire offense with him on the field.

You would think that, but how many times did we see #12 struggle when Jordy, Adams and/or Cobb were hurt? While I have full confidence in A Rod, there seems to be this "getting to know you" phase that he needs with his receivers.

He was a really good college QB, tried to play at the NFL level, and wisely decided to switch positions. He is just the quintessential athlete. This guy achieved 1,000 yards his first season at solely playing WR on a Cleveland Brown team, with a crappy QB; impressive. He'll come cheap. If the Packers pursue him, he will sign. Outside of the Vikqueens, he could destroy the Lions and Bears in the NFC North, and create a dynamic deep threat that we really haven't seen since Javon Walker. Remember him?

to a degree, but the worst time was when Jordy was hurt and out, the offensive line didn't play a game together until very late in the season practically and it was a mash unit all year and Adams was on 1 leg and Cobb was with 1 arm. if they're going to play the same call it at the line and make 10 adjustments and then adjust on the fly offense, it might hurt more. But if things are simplified, I think after a couple weeks, which seems usual, this offense will be moving right along. Especially now that we actually seem to have 2 young, hungry and in shape RB's with another versatile guy to share time with back there.

I hope they have a different wide receiver ranking list. I'm not a fan of Ridley and his combine wasn't impressive.
