Bold prediction for Packers in NFL Draft: Take three wide receivers in the draft

Green Bay has to do something at the wide receiver position. Anything. So far this offseason they’ve seen Marquez Valdes-Scantling walk in free agency and traded away Davante Adams. The only move they’ve made in return is to sign Sammy Watkins. That won’t cut it.

The Packers will grab a wide receiver (very) early in the draft and then I expect them to circle back to the position in the later rounds as well. A couple of dart throws on Day Three with guys who are elite athletes would do wonders for a position group that currently lacks speed at every level.
