It’s not just the beer and cheese causing blood pressures to spike across the state of Wisconsin. Some of that hypertension is no doubt attributable to the Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver room. While they have a lot of good pieces in Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks, none of them have been able to step up as a WR1. The Packers could spend their shiny first-round pick on a receiver, but history suggests that won’t happen.

Positional-value apologists will be furious at the mere thought of drafting an off-ball linebacker on Day 1, but bear with me for a few minutes. Edgerrin Cooper’s stellar rookie season has shifted the focus away from something crucial. The Green Bay Packers’ off-ball linebacker corps still has plenty of room for improvement, both in starting quality and depth.

If the Green Bay Packers learned anything from last season, it’s how valuable it is to have a reliable backup quarterback. Malik Willis went 2-0 as a starter, while Jordan Love recovered from a sprained MCL. He also came off the bench in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, after Love exited with a groin injury, and helped rally the Packers to a 30-27 win. Without those two victories with Willis under center, the Packers wouldn’t have punched their ticket to the playoffs.

The future of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line offers more questions than answers. Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker are entering the final year of their rookie contracts and could be in line for massive paydays. If Tom delivers another borderline All-Pro season in 2025, he won’t just earn a raise – he’ll likely reset the market for right tackles. The questions don’t stop on the outside. The Packers also face uncertainty on the interior.

If history tells us anything, Green Bay will invest on the defensive side of the ball early in the draft. Predictions are flying in, with the 2025 NFL Draft starting on April 24. One ESPN report suggests the Packers will go defense early in the draft. Matt Miller and Jordan Reid of ESPN shared what they’re hearing for each team as the draft approaches. For the Packers, what they’re hearing shouldn’t be a surprise.

For 22 years, the Green Bay Packers have gone without drafting a wide receiver in the first round – a streak fans often bemoan, particularly when reflecting on the 2020 draft. Many still point to the missed opportunity to select Tee Higgins, which could have given Aaron Rodgers another weapon as his career in Green Bay began nearing its end. Three years later, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a fan favorite, but the Packers passed on him to select Lukas Van Ness in the first round.

There are countless examples of players who get injured in their final year of college and see their draft stock slip as a result. Many of those players bounce back and prove they’re every bit as good as the pre-injury buzz suggested. Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton is poised to be a perfect example of this and an ideal candidate for the Green Bay Packers to scoop up on Day 2 or even Day 3. Horton led the Mountain West Conference in receptions in 2023 with 96.

The Green Bay Packers have never been shy about moving up or down for the players they want in the draft. And they have a chance to completely revamp their wide receiver room this offseason. Romeo Doubs’s future in Green Bay is uncertain after the team suspended him last year, and Christian Watson’s injury will sideline him for most of, if not the entire regular season. The Packers absolutely must add to the wide receiver room.

The Green Bay Packers’ lack of free-agency moves to bolster their pass rush signals confidence in their current roster. “We can do everything we need to do through the players we have on our roster right now,” Brian Gutekunst said at the annual owners meeting. Gutekunst’s confidence places pressure on DeMarcus Covington to develop the pass-rush unit. The Packers hired Covington in January; he previously coached the New England Patriots’ defensive line from 2020 to 2023, with mixed results.

The Green Bay Packers are still looking to add to their wide receiver room. If history has taught us anything, the Packers won’t draft a receiver in the first round. It will likely be another year when they address this situation in the third round or later. However, the Packers can bolster this room with an underrated player late in the draft. Theo Wease Jr. out of Missouri should be available in the sixth or seventh round or as an undrafted free agent.
