I like him because he makes plays in traffic and gets separation (ie Jets and Houston) Sometimes a guy like Duke benefit from a better receiver corp I want Duke to succeed as much as any player i can recall, great come back story BUT he when he had his shot when it was most critical to making a tough but very catchable TD he didn't. Had he made that TD catch vs Houston we most likely win that game.

I'm really curious to see what the Packers end up doing. I think Michael Pittman is a really good fit for them, though people that are not me would probably say that's too early for him. I think he checks all of the boxes the Packers and LaFleur are generally looking for though.

Maybe I'm being a fan, but I want to see him go to camp and compete for a spot. Easy guy to root for. 1

I wonder if that is a herd mentality or experts quoting experts to build up a false narrative that everyone agrees on. You might think that players would jockey the year they made themselves available in order to get in the $$$ first round. If there are 15 -20 wide receivers getting drafted in the first two rounds AND we are looking for depth, realize that there are going to be 25-30 or so veteran WR getting dumped into the waiver wire or younger players stashed on practice squads. There will be film on the waived veterans and we can get a known quality. A "project" guy can be taken off the waiver wire and stashed on the depth chart on the roster. There are two more positions available there this year. There is more than one way to play the game. Remember the 3 draft picks we got by trading marginal OL depth. 55 wrs were invited to the combine. Most experts expect 35-45 wrs drafted. That would make this one of the deepest classes in 20 years. It would be foolish not to select at least 1 wr in this draft considering the age of Brown & Beasley. Who knows what becomes of Foster or Duke even though I think Duke has more upside. 1

And how does one come to the conclusion that Foster, Duke and McKenzie are better than the back half of most WR rooms? Foster and Duke are fringe NFL players. Because a lot of teams back half of rosters are fringe NFL players? I mean....I WOULD like them to be better then that but......all teams face that problem 1

Maybe he should have, but if you watch that 4th qtr., JA was looking for Duke and he was the only one getting separation. At the risk of sounding irrational, I think the rookie needs another look.

What little we saw of him last year he made contested catches that Zay couldn't dream of making. I honestly don't see Foster, Easley or RayRay making this team. And if I had a choice between Aiyuk or Claypool @ 54 I'd take Brandon. This would allow McB to flex him as a KR/PR over Roberts if they choose that route? 1

I would go Claypool , and that would be pretty formidable. If Knox developed, wow.

They are jags just like pretty much all the bottom 3 guys on every other team.

I think he checks all of the boxes the Packers and LaFleur are generally looking for though. I agree with you. He's a faster version of a young Randall Cobb. He's a versatile player that can play in the slot or outside. He can go deep and is a good YAC guy on shorter routes. I don't expect him to be around at pick 54 but he would be a great value there. I'm not sure that Beane will be locked into any particular position on day two. He'll be looking for value that will improve the roster. IMHO he'll be looking for guys that fall and for whom he has a higher draft grade than where they are available. In the past, this has prompted him to trade up.
BuffaloRebound Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) There’s definitely room for a Reagor, Aiyuk, Shenault, Hamler type guy to see the field a lot this season. I’d prefer one of those guys in the 2nd and a downhill physical RB like Moss in the 3rd. Edited April 8, 2020 by BuffaloRebound 1
