7. Eric Decker, WR

Green Bay has a plethora of options at wide receiver behind Davante Adams and Randall Cobb. They drafted three rookies, J’Mon Moore, Equanimeous St. Brown and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, to go along with roster holdovers Trevor Davis, Geronimo Allison, Michael Clark and others. The hope is one of those guys can step up.

However, that’s quite the risk to take so signing a veteran off the street might provide some nice insurance in case that doesn’t happen.

Eric Decker is a former 1000 yard receiver although he hasn’t done it since the 2015 season. Last year with the Tennesee Titans, he caught just 54 receptions for 563 yards and one touchdown. While that’s not ideal, it’s guaranteed NFL production at the very least.
