Packers get: 🏈Pick No. 13, a 2023 2nd-rd pick (No. 42), a 6th-rd pick (No. 207), a conditional 2024 2nd-rd pick that becomes a 1st if Rodgers plays 65 percent of the plays. pic.twitter.com/Q2vUMfyZGH
Garrett Wilson is a good player but is not a top ten WR.
Not yet at least. The kid is NICE. He made Elijah Moore (who impressed in 2021-22) a disposable afterthought and gobbled up that target share like an alpha despite being a rookie. If he develops chemistry with Rogers, he could put up some bigtime numbers this year and enter that top-10 convo. [Reply]

Of course he gobbled up target share from Elijah Moore because Moore soaked up targets the year before he didn't deserve.
It's possible he does well with Rodgers. It's also possible he won't.
I bought Wilson stock last year because it was cheap.
Selling on him this year because now he's probably overvalued. [Reply]

Garrett snagged 83 balls for over 1100 yards. He did that with the 32nd ranked QB (Z. Wilson) and Mike White (who doesn't even qualify in the top-38 QBs that started a game in 2022) throwing him the ball.
And the eye test appears to indicate that he has the physical tools/skillsets to be a very good WR in the NFL. Maybe not top-10 in 2023, maybe not ever, but a legit WR1/2? Absolutely. [Reply]

I expect his ADP in fantasy redraft to assume he's a top ten WR. So I'm not buying that because at best he lives up to his draft capital. [Reply]

Watson eventually learned to fight through his routes so he would at least be where he was supposed to be, but he still needs a lot of work. Lazard, well, I was never that impressed with Lazard. He's like a less capable version of JJSS.
No mention of Romeo Doubs last year in the first 8 weeks? While Watson started out hurt and took a while to come on, Doubs was productive and solid right away.
If the Chiefs had traded for Doubs somehow this offseason I bet we would be pretty pumped about having him. [Reply]
I know this source typically winds up in DC, and I am not trying to make this a DC post, but a buddy sent me this today and the article just absolutely fits. I'll post the article so nobody has to click on the link if they don't want to:
Aaron Rodgers Retires From Professional Football To Play With The New York Jets
"NEW YORK, NY — Legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has officially signed with the New York Jets, confirming his retirement from professional football.
"You have to know when to walk away," said Rodgers. "I'm excited to put on a New York Jets jersey, and leave pro football in the rearview mirror."
Sources inside the Jets organization were reportedly shocked to receive the word from Rodgers. "How much peyote is he smoking??" asked General Manager Joe Douglas. "Eh, who cares. Even if he's high, just to have a legend like Rodgers on the field with us amateurs - it's going to be amazing. I know the NFL will be sad to lose him, but their loss is our gain."
Rodgers took months to make a final decision, laboring over whether it was time to hang up his cleats. "Professional football is an incredible grind," said Rodgers. "I've enjoyed my career tremendously, but in the end, I realized I was done with all the film watching, the practicing - that endless pursuit of perfection. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about any of that with the Jets. It's going to be an amazing change of pace."
At publishing time, Aaron Rodgers had asked if anyone had some psychedelics because he just sobered up enough to realize he had actually signed with the New York Jets."

don't know what ADP is.
Orlovsky thinks he could be a top-10 guy. I haven't watched enough of him to know. From the couple games I did see, he's no JAG. Especially when considering that he had two of the worst QBs in the league throwing to him all year, from behind a banged up OL.
Right now would you take him ahead of Christian Kirk? because Kirk finished 14th or 15th among all WRs in 2022. [Reply]
