Why The Packers Might Not Take A 1st Round Receiver

Yes, the Packers need a wide receiver.

Yes, this is a deep class for wide receivers.

But wasn't that the case last year?

And the year before that?

But this is different... right?

Well, it is different (they lost their deep threat to free agency and traded away the best receiver in the NFL), but that doesn't mean the results will be different.

Why not?

Well, for starters, the talent tiers for wide receiver may not line up with where the Packers pick. In 2018 and 2019, there were a combined total of 0 receivers taken before the 22nd pick in the 1st round.
