Packers: Three ways they can win the 2020 NFL Draft

1. Make wide receiver the top priority

Yet, despite those other important needs, it’s about time the Packers invested in the wide receiver position. Davante Adams has been a Pro Bowler the past three seasons, but the drop in production from him to the other receivers on the depth chart was alarming last year.

It’s also a problem that was quite clearly coming years ago. The Packers once had an excellent trio of Adams, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, but Nelson and Cobb have departed in recent years and not been replaced. Brian Gutekunst clearly saw a potential future need at receiver when he drafted three back in 2018.

But J’Mon Moore is no longer on the team, Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught fewer passes and had fewer yards in 2019 than his rookie season, while Equanimeous St. Brown remains an unknown after missing all of last year due to injury.

Gutekunst signed Devin Funchess to replace Geronimo Allison, which could be a good move for depth at the position. But the Packers need another consistent, difference-maker opposite Adams.

Since drafting Adams in the second round six years ago, the Packers’ focus in the early rounds of the draft has almost exclusively been on fixing the defense. It’s about time Aaron Rodgers was given some more help. The Packers should draft a wide receiver early and then go back to the position later on. Fortunately, this is the deepest draft class at receiver in years.
