The 2020 NFL Draft is in the books, but the Green Bay Packers still have work to do. Here are four moves they should make.

Considered the deepest wide receiver class in years, and it just so happened the Green Bay Packers‘ biggest need also happened to be at that position. A perfect year to need a receiver, right? Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur didn’t seem to agree. The Packers, incredibly, didn’t draft a single wide receiver with their nine picks in the draft.

Trading up for a quarterback in the first round might not be well-received among fans, but it’s easy to see the thinking behind it. The Packers clearly think he can be their future starter when Aaron Rodgers retires.

But the thinking then would be to use the remaining picks to address positions of need, helping Rodgers’ Packers go all-in for the present. And that’s where there this class becomes somewhat of a head-scratcher.

AJ Dillon is a talented running back and he’ll improve Green Bay’s ground game. But should the Packers have traded up a few spots to get a wide receiver like Denzel Mims? Going for Josiah Deguara in third round, widely considered to be a Day 3 prospect who is possibly a replacement for Danny Vitale, doesn’t seem the best move when linebackers who could help the defense were still on the board.

The Packers still have a need at wide receiver. They still have other concerns with the current roster. So, here are four moves they should make following the draft.
