3. Terrace Marshall Jr, LSU

Terrace Marshall Jr is more of a traditional wide receiver prospect for the Packers. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, he has the height Gutekunst and the front office prefer for the position. To go along with that length, he also has a huge catch radius and can make even the most inaccurate quarterbacks look good.

He’ll only be 21-years-old when the NFL season begins and could certainly use a year of seasoning before he’s to be counted upon for significant production. And that’s exactly what the Packers can offer. Marshall Jr. has to work on his hands during that time as well, as he dropped 12.8 percent of his passes a year ago. Still, there’s a lot to love about the youngster’s game.
