Positives - Ferguson has all the tools to be a starting receiver. He’s been in the GB system for 4 years. The Packers are expected to be throwing quite a bit this year giving Ferguson opportunities to see the field in 3 WR sets.

Negatives - Javon Walker & Donald Driver are one of the best WR combos in football meaning Ferguson will be a 3rd WR at best. Ferguson has had injury problems and was still recovering from post-concussion syndrome in the offseason.

Draft Strategy - At draft time Javon Walker’s holdout was not looking positive, and although I fully expected it to be resolved, I figured I’d take a gamble with Ferguson as my 6th WR. If Walker’s holdout was to last or in case of injury to Walker or Driver, Ferguson would jump into a tremendous opportunity. As it is I would expect Ferguson to have a couple nice games during the year to jump into my top 3 for the week.
