What a grab! It's McBride! Oh, one-hander, CD Lam!

There he goes, Brace Hall to the end zone!

Sharing our favorite late round wide receiver targets, that is what we were doing today on RotoViz Overtime. We are drafting in the FFPC $125 basketball tournament, hoping to bring down the entire contest. We've started this draft with a very, very interesting team. We had part one where we shared it. We have 10 picks in the books. We started off with Brock Bowers and Trey McBride through two rounds, a lot of tight end firepower, then Camp Scadaboo, Quid Shot, Judkins, Jameson Williams, DJ Moore, RJ. Harvey, Justin Herbert, and our last two picks were DK Metcalfe and Xavier Worthy. We're picking from the 110, so we have about eight picks left we pick in the 11th round. Really like showing how those last two picks kind of rounded out the team a little bit more structurally with Metcalfe and Worthy. We did talk at the end of it a couple of the reasons for drafting Worthy over Quid Shot or Quentin Johnson, who we discussed as maybe a pairing with Herbert. We will be looking for some chargers as we work away through those later rounds. Who knows maybe even in this round if, let's say, a Gadsden was to make his way back to us. But Shawn, the 10th round, I'm going to give you paired with the 11th round because we are now in round 11, but we did take one of the wide receivers from round 11 with our last pick. So Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Michael Wilson, Jacoby Myers, Jayden Reed, Xavier Worthy, Wendell Robinson, Jordan Addison and Ricky Pearsall.
Who's your guy? If Worthy is your guy, you can potentially give us a second name on that list.

**Shawn Siegele** (1:47)
Well, Colm, I'm going to give us Matthew Golden as the pick here, and I want you to make the case.

**Colm Kelly** (1:54)
You want me to make the case for the 12th round receiver and the 11th round as the best pick?
Go for it. I think that my concern with Golden as a Packers fan, and you can talk me into...

**Shawn Siegele** (2:07)
Concern, right? Make the case.

**Colm Kelly** (2:09)
He had a really impressive play in the playoff, Shawn, where he catches a reception and takes it to the... a really athletic, impressive play. If we had seen that in week four and it continued multiple times throughout the rest of the season, he would have very, very high confidence of repeatability.
I think the positive on the Packers end is they're going to try and make it work based on where they drafted him last year. And I do think there's a huge amount of talent there. By I'm giving you the concern case, you can hit me then with the upside case. And that is that I talked about in the previous show how much I like Tucker Craft and how I think he can be the key piece to this offense. I do think that then when you have Christian Watson, Jayden Reid, who is also going on this area of the draft, it could just be that there's too many pieces on the wide receiver side of things to spread the ball around. Can you talk me out of my concern?

**Shawn Siegele** (3:03)
Well, this is going to be a more aggressive, more concentrated Packers offense this season, where Jayden Reid probably is still going to be in that three wide receiver set role. And just really briefly, Colm, I'm going to click Oronde Gadsden here.
The enthusiasm for Christian Watson is justified to the extent that he is a vertical receiver. He's a big time playmaker. He fits very nicely with Jordan Love's arm. He has flashed in big ways when given the opportunity. But he's probably still just Matthew Golden. But older and more injury-prone, right? The Packers have taken this interesting path of selecting a couple of very risky guys relatively early. In terms of the first round pick of Golden, the early second round pick a few years back of Christian Watson. And it looks possible that they will both hit.
But when we're thinking about the ceiling outcome here, we're thinking about how good Golden looked in that playoff game, as you mentioned. When you think about the injury concerns for Watson and Reed, when you think about what would actually require, what the offense would require as a catalyst to have their overall passing volume we want, that probably actually requires Matthew Golden to hit on that first round outcome. So for the whole thing to work, it kind of has to be him as the player who elevates and makes the team want to throw enough for it to all work. Colm, the guys that I really wanted to come back here went in the interim. Who should we be looking at for round 12? Golden did go.
