How will they add speed to the offense?

Green Bay’s offense is slow as molasses in wintertime. Okay, maybe not that slow–I just wanted to use that line. They do need to add speed in the worst way, however, and will likely try to find a way to do so in the draft. The earlier and more often the better.

Will they draft a right tackle?

One of the Packers’ biggest immediate needs is at right tackle. They released Billy Turner and have a couple of internal options to replace him in Yosh Nijman and Elgton Jenkins. However, they could use another capable player at the position and someone who could potentially take over long-term. Maybe the question isn’t will they draft a right tackle, but when will they draft a right tackle?

How early in the draft will they take a wide receiver?

The Packers have passed on wide receivers in the first round even when everyone thinks they need to draft one. If they fail to get a receiver with one of their first-round selections this year (either via the draft or trade) fans will riot. It will be interesting to see when Green Bay first dips their toes into the water at this position and how often they come back to it.

How many wide receivers will they take total?

The Packers’ current depth chart at wide receiver consists of Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, and Amari Rodgers at the top. That should tell you all you need to know about the position. It’s clear they need more than just a top guy. How many receivers will they add when it’s all said and done?
