When the Green Bay Packers traded Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, they had a plan in place to try to make up for Adams’ lost productivity. They signed veteran Sammy Watkins and brought back Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb and then drafted three rookies in Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure.
The plan was for the veterans to start the season off and be productive until the rookies got more comfortable in the offense and assumed bigger roles. Long term, the duo of Watson, selected in the second round, and Doubs, taken in the fourth round were going to be the future at the position.
