Under the radar first-round prospects for Packers: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State

There are the big prospects at wide receiver that include Jameson Williams, Drake London, Garrett Wilson, and Chris Olave. However, one quiet name to keep an eye on is North Dakota State’s Christian Watson.

It would be a huge adjustment in competition level, but Watson appears to have all the physical tools to succeed in the NFL. He’s got great size at 6-foot-5 and the speed to go along with it. He could instantly become the deep threat the Packers desperately need. There’s a tad bit of MVS to his game, unfortunately, as he needs to improve his concentration, hands, and tracking ability when the ball is in the air.
