Watson vs Pierce Will be an Interesting Comparison

I was not a bit surprised that the Packers didn’t draft a receiver in the first round. Especially after six of them were taken within the top eighteen picks. I was stunned, however, to see them trade both of their second round selections to move up to number 34 to take Christian Watson. That seemed like a very high price to pay.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m as excited as many fellow Green Bay fans to see what Watson can become. But I can’t help wondering if the team would have been better off staying at numbers 53 and 59 in that second round.
