Pack-A-Day Podcast - Episode 1699 - The Packers Have a Type at WR
Last year, four wide receivers checked every Packers' threshold as tracked by Jacob Morley. Three of the four are on the 2023 Packers' roster. The Packers clearly have a type at wide receiver, which begs the question, which receivers in this years' draft are the names to watch? We have the answers!

The Packers do have a wide receiver type.
They probably have a type at tight end also.
But that has worked out about the same.
Since 2018 most of the types have been the wrong type.
Which explains why they are still searching.
The drafting of Doubs and Watson has brought some optimism, justly due from watching them make flash plays their rookie seasons.
The Packers are now hoping for a full season of consistency from both...fingers crossed.
And....lets be honest....Both Doubs and Watson better bear fruit for obvious reasons.
Otherwise this receiving group under Gutes watch....was/has been/is a train wreck.
Plus, you'd like to give your next franchise QB (GULP) some legit targets to throw to.
IF...this trade ever happens.

“The receiving group has been a train wreck”
Completely wrong. It led the league in scoring in 2020. MVS and Lazard signed big FA deals. EQ is still in the league. Our WR situation has been good enough to win the division three times.
Not a train wreck. A pretty good unit.

Let me see if i can simple this up for ok Tiger.
The Packers drafting of wide receivers has been less than stellar.
We haven't been able to replace Jordy Nelson sinc 2018.
Gute signed Jimmy Graham, although expensive, he didn't make the cut.
The pass catching room has steadily declined in talent, to the point the Packers had to rely on 2 rookie receivers for success.
Who the fu-dge cares about EQ or that he's still in the league. Is that a feather in Gutes hat or something?
EQ is still in the league, he had 323 yards, 1 TD...what should we do?... give him a cookie?
I hope i don't have to dumb down and i never have to explain myself like this again, i feel myself losing braincells.
Thank you for understanding.

I certainly don’t want to be responsible for your brain cells, so I won’t be engaging you anymore.

It's all good LH.
I thought you could kind of figure it out on your own, without me having to painstakingly go through it for you.
I'm big enough to admit my shortcomings.
My apologies, i wasn't aware to the fact you are very sensitive and in touch with your feelings.
I will surely be more careful in the future and be much more cognizant of your feelings in the future.
You are Loved 🤗

To me, the problem is that since Jordy and Adams they really haven't drafted anybody with enough talent that Rodgers would think of trusting them. And I understand why. Rodgers reached the point where he just was too stubborn to try anymore
Big problem I see with our approach regardless of the WR type is that we take two or three year to develop anybody and we've always done that with meh level talent. I'm excited about next year as it seems like it will be a fresh start. Now we have Watson Dobbs but I think Toure is one of those players that just needs to get time on the field and to be thrown to. That and a second round draft pick at wide receiver and I think we'll be fine.
