The Packers may lose James Jones to free agency after this season. Both Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb will enter the last year of their contracts in 2014. Green Bay would be wise to add more talented young wide receivers to the roster.
The emergence of Jarrett Boykin this year and the likelihood Jones could return to the team at minimal cost, makes wide receiver not a top need for the Packers going into the offseason.
However, if Green Bay has the opportunity to find a steal at the position in the draft, then they may not hesitate to pull the trigger.
