The Packers’ young wide receiver room added some interesting competition in the draft.
I think we all know the broad strokes of why the Packers’ wide receiver room was remodeled this offseason. There is short- and long-term uncertainty at wide receiver, and the group needed a boost. That’s all great and easily understood.
But what’s less clear right now is how all of this shakes out. Yes, the Packers have added two noteworthy receivers this spring, but where will they land on the depth chart? How will they be used on the field? And how will both of those things affect the receivers who were already on the roster?
And on top of all of that, there are big questions about when Christian Watson will return to the field, what he’ll be able to contribute, and how he’ll be used when he’s finally back in the lineup.
The good news is that all of these are questions signalling a healthy position group. If we were sitting here wondering how the Packers will field four decent receivers this year, that would be a much different conversation. But I think by and large, most people agree that the Packers have quality pass catchers. It’s just a matter of figuring out how they all fit together.
There’s a new pecking order in the Packers’ wide receiver room.
I know Williams is mostly just a big gadget guy, but he’s a lot of fun.
Tucker Kraft’s star continues to rise.
Micah Robinson may be lightly regarded and buried on the depth chart, but he’s got the right attitude.
Jeremy Fowler believes a resolution involving Jaire Alexander returning to the Packers will come “soon.”
Not to species profile, but if there were an animal that I’d suspect of smoking meth, it’d be a raccoon.
