On the other, the learning curve could be a little tougher to master for the second-year wide receivers.

Last year, general manager Brian Gutekunst's first draft featured three pass-catchers in the mid-rounds: J'Mon Moore in the fourth round at No. 133 overall, Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the fifth at No. 174 and Equanimeous St. Brown in the sixth at No. 207.

The latter pair were forced to step into the fire in their rookie season and play significant snaps, catching passes from a quarterback whose expectations were clear straight out of training camp: They needed to get on the same page with him and earn his trust, much like the Packers' most renowned receivers in the last decade have.
