The value of receivers is skyrocketing. Just look at the enormous contracts being given out. Elite receivers are a step behind quarterbacks in the pecking order now, and not necessarily a big step behind.
The Green Bay Packers don't agree with that movement. Or maybe they just couldn't find a receiver they liked on Thursday night.
The Packers had two first-round picks after trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, and in a crazy and unpredictable draft the one bankable thing seemed to be Green Bay taking a receiver. It is a deep receiver class in an otherwise underwhelming draft.
