Draft gives Packers opportunity to restock receiving group

Two decades have passed since the Green Bay Packers have drafted a wide receiver in the first round.

The Packers have two chances and plenty of reasons to stop that trend this year.

Green Bay has two-time defending MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers back for an 18th season but needs to find guys to catch his passes now that the team traded All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Packers received an extra first-round and second-round pick in the trade. The Packers haven’t selected a receiver in the first round since taking Florida State’s Javon Walker 20th overall in 2002.
