After trading Davante Adams, the Green Bay Packers will have to take a different approach to the wide receiver position than in recent years. Aaron Rodgers will return for his 18th season, but his top four targets at the moment are Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Amari Rodgers and Juwann Winfree. Luckily, the Packers have five picks in the top 100 of this year’s draft, providing ample opportunity to add an influx of talent at a position of need. Could this be the first time since 2002 that Green Bay uses a first-round pick on a wide receiver? Now seems like a good time with a deep crop of wide receivers.
There are several prospects the Packers could get their hands on who are indisputable first-rounder. One of those guys is Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave.
Olave wrapped up his college career with 175 receptions, 2,702 yards, and 35 touchdowns. Many have tabbed Olave as the best route runner in the 2022 class. Adams was arguably the best route runner in the NFL, which makes Olave an even more intriguing option.
