    Your choice for WR 2

    Here are our options:

    1. Roman Wilson
    2. Keenan Allen
    3. Gabe davis
    4. Amari Cooper
    5. Allen Lazard and give up 4th or 5th round pick
    6. Romeo Doubs and give up 3rd or 4th round pick
    7. Chris Olave and give up 3rd round pick.

    I prefer that we not give up any draft capital and try Roman Wilson as much as possible. Lazard is my 2nd choice assuming Rodgers signs and Olave is my 3th.

    Doubs and a 4th would be great.

    Wilson being more useful than me for the Steelers would be likely the "best" outcome for them.

    Olave is a phenomenal talent. Still young. But his noggin is likely pudding and chicken wire at this point.

    many Steelers pundits have said Doubs would be their preference also. I just don’t know him that well but I wouldn’t mind him for a 4th either

    Gabe Davis was released due to a failed physical.

    The Saints have denied the Olave rumor.

    Isn't Doubs GB's WR1?

    Keenan Allen is a big risk, imo. He missed a lot of games when he was young due to injury. He's 33 now.

    I think I'm leaning into going with Roman Wilson for now and see what's what later.

    Guess Calvin Austin must have died or something because clearly he has the inside track at the job as we sit here today
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    Your choice for WR 2

    Doubs was supposed to be the 1 in Green Bay or 1B with Watson. Watson is always hurt. And Doubs isn’t a great/explosive athlete. You can play tight man coverage and live with how Doubs can hurt you. He just can’t separate consistently enough to make defenses pay.

    There’s been a big call for Green Bay to get more explosive at WR and stop having Love staring at defense smother things as the available WR struggle to create openings against man or similar particularly when there’s a lurking safety.

    Watson can do that but he’s always hurt. Dobbs can’t consistently do it. And he’s kinda whiny. Plus he’s a FA and I don’t think they’re want to pay him.

    He’s not in Pickens stratosphere as a WR so if Pickens gets a three; he gets a 4?

    I would love CAIII to be the WR2 - he had the chance last year but he didn’t really put any fear in opposing defenses. But it would be great if he stepped into that role

    Roc Taylor has the potential to be that guy as well. I don't think he's an NFL level WR1 at this time, but he is one of those guys that seems to come down with the ball in clutch moments. Here's some of his highlight moments here:...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3GX2VA7IFI


    Ke'Shawn Williams highlights here:....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtohR7KlPo4
    I did not watch much, if any, of Indiana or Wake Forest football so I can only offer the highlight reel without any familiarity.

    The Steelers do have a history of finding gems off the UDFA roster. Time will tell.

    I also doubt if CA III will be a true number two, but if we could find a legit number two, CAIII might be a pretty scary number three. CAIII getting lost in a defense, or matched up one on one with 3rd or 4th cb, could be pretty potent - assuming there is someone legit throwing him the ball.
