Should Ted look for Jordy Nelson’s successor in the draft?
As a big Jordy fan, it’s hard to even want to think about the answer to this question. He bounced back extremely well from a torn ACL that wiped out his 2015 season, catching 97 passes for 1,257 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. I wouldn’t say that the Packers need to look for a guy within the first three rounds since they have more pressing needs, but it wouldn’t hurt them to look for a guy later in the draft.
Jordy likely still has a least a few more good seasons in him, so a late-round guy could pay off in the long run. The Packers could get a guy that has room for improvement and could learn a lot from Jordy. That said, if there just aren’t the guys available late in the draft that have the potential, it’s not a crucial position for the Packers to fill right now. They also have strong young talent in Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison.
With Aaron Rodgers at QB, he can make a lot of receivers look good. Personally, I’d wait and see how some of the younger WRs develop for the team this season before searching for more.
