The Green Bay Packers started Day 2 of the draft off with a bang. After skipping the receiver position, their glaring need, with their two first-round picks on Thursday, the Packers traded up to 34th overall by sending the in-division Minnesota Vikings two second-round picks. With that trade up, Green Bay finally brought in a wideout who could help solve their speed problems: Christian Watson of North Dakota State.
Yesterday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated that the team only had six first-round grades on wide receivers and that all of them were selected before the Packers were on the clock with the 22nd pick in the draft.
