Explosive wide receiver for Packers to target in draft: Christian Watson, NDSU

So far, NDSU wide receiver Christian Watson has a perfect RAS score of 10 thanks to an elite combine. He not only killed it in the speed department (a 4.36 second 40-yard dash), but also posted tremendous leaping numbers (38.5-inch vertical leap). Oh, and he’s 6-foot-5.

Watson is projected to go at the end of the second round which is right where Green Bay can grab him. He’d be a great fit from an athletic perspective and would give Aaron Rodgers a much cheaper replacement if they end up losing Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
