1. Paul Richardson, WR

The Packers have a desperate desire to add good pass-catchers (at any position) to their roster. Other than Davante Adams and Aaron Jones, they don’t have any proven options Aaron Rodgers can trust in the clutch. Allen Lazard might get there but he’s not quite there yet.

Green Bay could also desperately use some more speed on offense, as they look like a bunch of sloths out there. That’s where Paul Richardson fits the bill.

Richardson is coming off a couple of disappointing seasons in Washington where he suffered multiple injuries and was limited in his production. Still just 27-years-old, he could provide Green Bay’s offense with a spark and a legitimate deep threat they desperately need. His value will never be lower so now might be the time to strike.
