7. Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

It’s probably unlikely the Packers take a wide receiver with their first pick in the draft. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb are still a reliable veteran targets, and Davante Adams is a young ascending talent.

However, the Packers still lack a true downfield threat, and if Montgomery officially makes the move to running back after this season, the Packers could use another playmaker at the wide receiver position.

In all four seasons Davis played at Western Michigan, he was the school’s leading receiver. He also averaged around 16 yards per catch over his collegiate career and hauled in 51 touchdowns.

At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds with 4.45 speed, Davis has the size and speed to take the top off a defense. He can also win in jump ball situations and make plays while covered.

The way the Packers run their offense, they can never have enough weapons for Aaron Rodgers to utilize in the passing game.
