Bold prediction for Packers’ positional groups: Wide receivers

There are question marks all across the Packers’ wide receiver position as every spot on the depth chart is up for grabs.

Christian Watson is worth watching, as he just signed his rookie contract and was placed on the Packers’ PUP list. That doesn’t mean he’ll spend the entire offseason unable to practice, but it’s a noteworthy move by Green Bay. There’s something fishy going on around Watson.

The top of the depth chart also needs to be set up, with many thinking Allen Lazard will earn the WR1 honors. However, Sammy Watkins is motivated to turn his career around and live up to the hype he had early on. He has the highest 2022 ceiling among all Packers receivers and I believe he’ll hit his stride immediately.

Bold Prediction: Sammy Watkins earns WR1
