Interesting athletic profile: nice size, adequate speed (mediocre 40, great 10, not a vertical threat but good get-off), nice explosion, alright agility, good ball skills, body control, and physicality. 80% of plays came on the boundary.

Good stuff, should have a real spot at the roster or as an occasionally playable PS guy. I'll take that from a flyer 7th.

Love his energy, seems like he should have good hands the way he catches.


Let’s see if any of Toure, Melton, Wicks or DuBose can rise up and take the #4 WR slot, or if we still should consider adding a vet.

When's the last time we didn't draft any OL?

It was not a great class for them, but still, always a point of emphasis for this team.

This was one of the “packers type” favorites in the draft community.

Wicks and DeBose really validated the measurable Packers threshold community.

He’s fine. Like Wicks. He’ll be a useful rotational receiver throughout his rookie contract controlled years and move on having served his purpose.

I think we are returning our top 11 linemen from last year?

Just not really room for guys, unless I felt like you are getting someone who might compete for a starting spot.

Arguments could be made if Royce or Hansen even belong on NFL rosters, but still.

I’d make that argument

I was initially too hard on both wicks and DeBose because they were not the guys I badly wanted.

Like this guy
