Remember, the beginning of the year & the draft - NO wide receivers drafted. PANIC!! As things turned out, the group we had was fine! Adams had an awesome year - some stats:
Davante Adams - 3rd in yards - 1374, 1st in TD's - 18, & 3rd in receptions - 115
Our list, first the roster regulars:
Adams, Davante - year 7
Austin, Tavon - year 8
Lazard, Allen - year 2
St. Brown, Equanimeous - year 3
Taylor,Malik - Year 1
Valdes-Scantling, Marquez - year 3
Practice Squad & Others
Begelton, Reggie - year 1
Blair, Chris - Rookie
Winfree, Juwann - year 2
Funchess, Devon - year 6 (was on the COVID list)
The play of Lazard & Valdez-Scantling was rewarding. Lazard(33 receptions - 451 yards - 3 TD's) has always shown toughness & grit. He has demonstrated great hands & dependability! He also blocks very well for the run game. He looks to be a steady, but not flashy receiver for the next few years. Valdes-Scantling(33 receptions - 690 yards - 6 TD's) made the biggest jump! He hands still were shaky at times, but made some big plays this year! If he improves again, he should also stick to the roster a few more years!!!
Devon Funchess decided to sit out the year. That was probably the best thing for Lazard & Valdes-Scantling. He is really the same, tall & possession receiver type that Lazard & St. Brown give the Packers.
The need still seems to a speed & shifty guy! A breakaway threat! A receiver that is a threat from anywhere on the field. But, we have enough on the team to be OK in the wide receiver position.
Next up, offensive line.
