Driver's role with new QB (1 Viewer)

[dmac37]

What is Driver's value in rookie picks? In some leagues he is expendable and I may look to get younger, whereas I may try to buy him in others as a WR3 for 2-3 years.

I would hazard a guess that in many leagues, Driver will be sold for a late first or early second rounder.

I'd make that trade in every league if I could then

You would take Driver or the pick?

All of the discussion here has focused on whether Drver is phased out, over the hill, slowing down, injury plagued, etc. Is most of the shark pool thinking that the Packers will continue their heavy dependence on the passing game and that Rodgers will have similar success to Farve?

I don't see many ranking R Grant very high, so I sense that most here think that the passing game will continue to be the focus. I am not sure that I agree with that logic. I think that the Packers stress the run more than in year's past. Anybody concur with that sentiment?

Some truth to this. McCarthy wants to run. He wanted to run last year with Favre and he'll want to run this season with Rodgers. I am not convinced Rodgers can make it out of September though. He's been glass so far in his short career. That said, I think that Driver is the only real leader on the offense right now. This is a franchise that needs calm and not upheaval so I think they will be trying to keep Driver involved. His skills haven't diminished any. Packers are an enigma this season though, to be sure.
