Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 869881">Well, with an extremely weak receiving corps entering this offseason it was pretty obvious the Packers will have to rely on a rookie to make an immediate impact.While I would prefer to have three bona fide veterans atop the depth chart as well that was completely unrealistic to expect entering next season.If the rookie doesn't perform up to expectations the passing game will most likely struggle in 2020 again. It's that easy.With Funchess all but guaranteed to make the roster he will at least earn $2.25 million.A quarterback will first move through his progressions to find an open receiver. It's close to impossible for him to find one if the WR isn't in the correct spot at that point.That changes once the QB has to scramble to throw the ball but that shouldn't be the case on a regular basis.You're right that last season's top rookie receivers (I included Metcalf in the list as well) were pretty good compared to other years.  The top four in receiving yards rank fifth in combined receptions, second in yards and third in touchdowns compared to their pals since 2008.They weren't anywhere close to the best class of 2014 though.True, although I wouldn't mind the Packers drafting a receiver solely excelling in the slot.</blockquote>
