Packers position battles: Green Bay has tough choice for 5th receiver

Green Bay has a talented crown vying for the fifth and maybe sixth roster spot at receiver.

Since Ted Thompson took over as general manager of the Green Bay Packers in 2005, the team has rarely found itself undermanned at the wide receiver position. Through a bevy of second- and third-round investments, Green Bay has regularly fielded one of the best receiving corps in the entire league.

That trend continues in 2015. Pro Bowlers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb lead the group after combining for 2,806 yards and 25 touchdowns last season. Behind them, Davante Adams appears ready for a breakout, and rookie Ty Montgomery possesses some of the gadget utility that has made Cobb a star.
