From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Nice, we can still run the plays that include a WR running a CB and S deep. Even if its only thrown rarely, that opens things up. Tactically important role he should fill in nicely for right from the get go.
well we got an ILB, and WR for Davante. The DL pick was ours to begin with.
Not sure if I would have rather just drafted Watson at 28 and kept the 2 late 2s or not.
Steep price.
LaFleur got his speed guy. Too bad he he has a hard time catching the ball. Pickens should have been the guy. But hey, maybe in a couple years Watson will “catch” on and become a decent receiver.

Rodgers will be far and away the best QB Watson has had. Even the Trey Lance year or so weren't great. They were a running team. I expect those numbers are bigger due to style of play and who was throwing.
I seriously wonder if Pickens was even on their draft board. The guy has red flags.
Its hard to say. They brought in a lot of guys with character flags. We drafted 1 in Wyatt. You never know who checks out and who doesn't, unless they get drafted by us.
I was in a Minneapolis sculpture garden, forgetting that I'm in a different time zone than normal and that night two had already started when I got the news. My good friend (and weekend wedding date) cares not at all about football. I got the the NFL app push notification that we traded up for Watson.
My friend is now well-versed in terms like "upside" and the nature of draft pick trades and values and the excitement that a list of names over three days can provide.
