Green Bay currently holds the no. 22 and no. 28 selections in the first round as well as two second-round picks. That gives them more than enough ammunition to address the wide receiver position in the 2022 NFL Draft whether they stay put or move up.

Drake London is the top wide receiver on PFF’s Big Board and comes in at no. 11 overall. Green Bay would likely have to trade up to grab the massive wide receiver. The same goes for Jameson Williams (who tore his ACL in the NCAA championship game and probably won’t be ready for the start of the season) and probably Chris Olave.

It will be interesting to see which route the Packers go, but it’s clear they need to address wide receiver early (and often) in the draft. Expect them to end up with at least one of these guys.
