The Packers have a recent history under Ted Thompson of draft a wide receiver at #2!  To back this up, look at the article:

Deja Vu: The Packers Take 

Wide Receiver Davante Adams 

in the Second Round

According to the article, Thompson has picked:
2005 Terrence Murphy (Suffered career ending neck injury)
2006 Greg Jennings (Some nice seasons)
2008 Jordy Nelson (Still a weapon)
2011 Randall Cobb (Becoming a game changer!)

Davante Adams
Fresno St.   
Wide Receiver  6'1"  - 212 lbs.

The Packer #2 pick this year Davante Adams seems to have some of the skills to allow Aaron Rogers to find one more target to drive opponents defenses crazy!  Some scary stats:

In 2 years, Adams amassed - 233 receptions, 3,3031 yards and 30 TD's!

Average speed (4.56 in the 40), but can jump - 39.5 vertical jump!  Apparently has the ability to get separation, strong hands, and competitive!  Looks like a good replacement for recently departed James Jones!

With Cobb, Nelson, and emerging Boykin, Adams will need to earn his spot on the roster!  And remember, we drafted 2 other wide receivers & have four other receivers on the roster!  So, if you are counting, and I am, that is 10!  Yes ten receivers for 5-6 slots!

Let the competition begin!
