Packers 2022 Draft Thread

I fully admit that I know absolutely nothing about any of these WR this year. Draft kinda sneaking up on me. My un-scientific take is that guys who are good route runners in college are more productive earlier in the pros (Justin Jefferson, Terry McLaurin etc), which especially helps with a guy like Rodgers throwing the ball. Are there any comparable types this year?

From what you read Olave might run the best routes among the top guys.

That’s accurate but is he physical enough is my concern. I get the speed thing but his YAK ability does not match his speed. As I mentioned you can nitpick anyone in that group

Physical though can that be fixed by just getting him into the weight room getting more muscle and teaching him how to use it on the field.

Yep.
But Olave’s downside is that he won’t offer much in the way of blocking in the run game (which would be a plus in ML’s offense).
It will be interesting how GB weighs out the pros/cons of the WR’s that fall to them in Rnd 1.
Do they take a WR who is more game ready as a rookie?
Or, do they take a guy who may have a potential higher ceiling by years 2or 3?

Seems they have history of taking guys in round 2 who have that higher ceiling and can be lower on the depth chart for a couple seasons and by year 3 finally have developed into that player they hope for.

To a certain extent yes but it’s not the silver bullet. And does he retain the speed also.
