Wide receivers Packers could target in first round of Draft: Jalin Hyatt

Green Bay was just at Tennessee’s Pro Day which included several wide receiver targets such as Cedric Tillman and Jalin Hyatt. Where Tillman will likely go on Day 2, Hyatt could be a Day 1 pick.

The biggest knocks on him are his size. He’s small and skinny for the wide receiver position and will have to put on muscle to avoid getting stalled at the line of scrimmage on every snap. His elite athleticism helps him overcome some downfalls, including his 4.4-second 40-yard dash and 40-inch vertical leap.

He’ll also need some time to develop his route-running skills, but Green Bay can use him immediately. He would be a great addition to their horizontal offensive scheme and give them another deep threat. The Packers would have to exercise patience with this selection.
