3 wide receivers Packers must target on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers tend to add receiving talent on Day 2 of the draft as opposed to the opening round. There's good reason to believe they will continue this strategy this year.

Outside of Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who could be gone before the Packers hit the clock, there are no standout first-round prospects they can't afford to pass up on. Green Bay may address another position, such as edge rusher or offensive tackle, on the draft's opening night.

No problem. Like last year, when the Packers traded up for Christian Watson in the second round, there will be many opportunities to improve the wide receiver corps on Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Packers must target Rashee Rice

Talk about a perfect fit in the Packers' offense. It's no surprise that Rashee Rice has been in Green Bay for a pre-draft visit, and it'll also be unsurprising if the Packers draft him on Day 2.

There's so much to love about Rice's fit with the Packers that it's hard to know where to start.

When it comes to the Packers drafting wide receivers, we can't ignore their size and athletic thresholds. That's no problem for Rice, who is 6-foot-1, 204 pounds, with a Relative Athletic Score of 9.53 out of 10.

Rice is a master of winning contested catches, is excellent at picking up yards after the catch, and is a strong blocker. Sounds like a Packers wide receiver.

An area of his game that might not immediately come to mind is his ability to go deep. According to Pro Football Focus, no player in this year's draft class had more deep receptions last season than Rice's 18.

Rice has so much to offer and would be a Day 1 contributor in Green Bay's offense.
