Wide receivers Packers need to target in first round of 2022 NFL Draft: Garrett Wilson

The better projected pro of the two Ohio State wide receivers set to go in the first round, Garret Wilson is a dynamic receiver who does a lot both to bring the ball in and make defenders miss after the catch.

He has an elite change of direction and can get in and out of his routes in a hurry. This keeps the secondary off balance and allows him to create separation. Even if the pass isn’t on target, he has an amazing catch radius to make any quarterback look good. He will have to learn how to get into his routes quicker–something Rodgers would certainly help him with. Head coach Matt LaFleur would love to get him the rock early and often considering he’s a demon in the open field.
