The Green Bay Packers need to add a wide receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft, there is no question about it (sound familiar?). The good news is they have two selections in the first round at no.’s 22 and 28 overall.

Although this year’s class isn’t as deep as two years ago when the Packers selected Jordan Love in the first instead of a receiver, there are a number of playmakers who are ready to contribute immediately. There are also a few top receivers who are coming off serious injuries and their health for the foreseeable future are major question marks, making for an intriguing first round.

Using PFF’s Big Board, let’s check out five wide receivers who the Packers need to take a long, hard look at in the first round

The Green Bay Packers desperately need to add a wide receiver in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft and need to target one of these five players.

Wide receivers Packers need to target in first round of 2022 NFL Draft: Treylon Burks

Burks would give the Packers the deep threat they desperately need with the separation of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He also has tremendous size at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. He can play on the outside or inside in the slot if necessary. He’d be a dynamic threat for Green Bay and a potential pick with their 28th overall selection.
