The Green Bay Packers have some big holes on their roster, chief among them the lack of a reliable No. 2 wide receiver that can draw attention away from Davante Adams.

With enough draft capital to make a trade for a star, Green Bay should look into dealing for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver TY Hilton, who is coming off an injury-riddled season and only has one year left on his contract.

The Packers should trade their third-round pick (No. 94 overall) to Indianapolis to get this deal done while throwing in guard Lane Taylor's contract.

In this trade, Green Bay adds a perfect speedy No. 2 wideout that can prevent defenses from locking in on Adams.

Protecting the immobile Philip Rivers requires an immaculate offensive line, and the Colts would have the best interior offensive line in all of football if Taylor, a solid guard who was bumped out of the starting lineup by Elgton Jenkins and Billy Turner, is paired with All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson and center Ryan Kelly. Ink Taylor, who is also in a contract year, to an extension, and the Colts have their O-line for the next 3-4 years.

Green Bay could use No. 30 on a linebacker or tight end if they end up trading for a player of Hilton's caliber and eliminating the major hole at wide receiver. While he does carry an injury risk with him, Brian Gutekunst shouldn't hesitate on getting this deal done.
