3 Wideouts That Won't Be Available if Packers Play it Safe and Stay Put at Pick No. 30
By Michael Luciano
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers need to add some new pieces on offense in the 2020 NFL Draft, especially at wide receiver.
Davante Adams is set at the No. 1 wideout, but Green Bay can't just bank on his No. 2 falling to them at pick No. 30 in the draft, even with a receiver class as deep as this one. Green Bay needs to find some way to trade up, or else these three future stars could all slip through their fingers and join other contending teams.
3. Henry Ruggs III
The Packers have their veteran and an expert route-runner in Adams, and they have plenty of size between Equanimeous St. Brown and Allen Lazard. What they need to take that group to the next level is a deep threat with blazing speed, and they don't come much faster than Ruggs. A tremendous blazer down the field that runs crisp routs and had solid hands, Ruggs and Adams would raise hell together under Matt LaFleur.
2. CeeDee Lamb
Lamb has everything a coach could ask for in a wide receiver. He's physical in the air, a speedy receiver for someone as big as he is, and extremely dynamic with the ball in his hands. Lamb is almost a lock to be picked within the top-15 due to his extremely productive career at Oklahoma, and Green Bay could risk letting a versatile talent with a high floor and Pro Bowl potential slip through their grasp if GM Brian Gutekunst doesn't trade up.
1. Jerry Jeudy
Jeudy is the absolute best receiver in this class at getting separation and breaking tackles as a ball carrier, as players with that sort of athleticism and 4.45 speed don't come around every year. Jeudy, who already has a Blietnikoff Award in his trophy case, is considered by many as the favorite to be the first wide receiver taken this year. Trading for him would take an almost comical offer, but Gutekunst should go grab Jeudy, as he seemed destined for 1,000 yard seasons right out of the gate.
