Proposed trade would see Packers swap Christian Watson for Brandon Aiyuk

One of the bright spots on this Green Bay Packers roster, at the moment, is the youth movement happening in the wide receiver room.

It's not just a young group, but a talented and diversely-skilled room. Between Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontavious Wicks, the Packers have four studs in the making; all of whom work together to give this Packers offense a little something different.

But, what if the Packers had an opportunity to add a bonafide no. 1 wide receiver? Would they take the chance?

How about the San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk? Having seen his name in trade rumors for a while, and with a wide receiver market heating up contract-wise, there's still a possibility Aiyuk gets traded.

Recently, Bleacher Report's Alex Kay wrote up a piece on four different trades the 49ers could entertain for Aiyuk, and he listed the Packers as one candidate for a deal.

This is the proposed trade which would land Brandon Aiyuk in Green Bay

Wrote Kay:

"While Green Bay already has a slew of intriguing young wideouts in Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson on the roster, none of these pass-catchers are as well-rounded or as proven as Aiyuk. Flipping Watson—who possesses arguably the most upside of any receiver on this roster—and a second-round pick to the 49ers could get a deal done that will take the Packers to the next level.

Aiyuk would immediately slot in as the clear-cut No. 1 option in Green Bay's aerial attack. His presence would allow Jordan Love to further elevate his game after reaching the postseason in his first year as a starter."

Kay isn't wrong. Watson still has a ton of upside. But, some might not believe Watson has as much upside as a guy like Reed. If the Packers were able to pull off a trade like this, Aiyuk would command defenses' attention immediately, allowing for some added creativity with a guy like Reed.

Green Bay's back field is already loaded between Josh Jacobs, rookie MarShawn Lloyd and A.J. Dillon. The Packers figure to be a run-heavy team that still continues to air it out and get the ball to their playmakers in creative ways.

Aiyuk has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and has been one of the most consistent wide receivers across the league in terms of his route running and lack of drops. Give Love a receiver like Aiyuk, and the offense might just crack the top five or six in all of football.
