I expect that the pundits are now going to ramp up the “Why didn’t GB draft a WR?” story again.
Or why did the chose to spend their first 4 draft picks on this year's 3rd string QB (gave up a 4th rounder to move up 4 spots), a 3rd string RB, and a 3rd string TE. If they felt that Lazard was going to be a solid contributor and MVS would improve, then they had 3 decent WRs. Having almost nothing behind Kenny Clark on the DL and going with an older ILB that missed a combined 23 games the last 2 years is more of a problem.
Some people will bring up the Rodgers' 2005 draft pick. Yes, they picked a guy that wasn't going to play that year in the 1st, but they added key contributors that could at least help that year in the rest of the first 4 rounds. Nick Collins was Round 2 and Brady Poppinga was Round 4. Marviel Underwood was also Round 4 and he at least got on the field before hurting his knee the next year. Terrence Murphy (WR- Round 2) was also being worked into the rotation before his freak neck injury.
My problem with this draft wasn't the WR part. It was using all the premium picks they have for guys that are essentially redshirting.
