Packers’ Receivers: Great Competition or Another Waste?
We had a similar conversation last year heading into training camp. How the Green Bay Packers could keep seven receivers on their roster.
That boiled down to the speculative quality depth at receiver vs. the other positions they had gone heavy on in the past. Two fullbacks, four tight ends, etc.
They ended up doing just that.
After the top three of Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, there was Ty Montgomery, Trevor Davis, Jeff Janis and Jared Abbrederis.
As you know, Montgomery was moved to running back and Abbrederis was released. However, the Packers ended the season with as many receivers as they started it — seven receivers on the roster.
