In the lead-up to the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, which officially begins on February 27th, Acme Packing Company will break down a few positions of interest for the Green Bay Packers. We’ll bring you a few names to watch at each of these positions, both potential early draft picks as well as third-day players.
Teams across the NFL will be scrutinizing the wide receiver position, but the Packers have tended to look for a particular set of athletic thresholds during Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager. We do not yet know how closely the team will adhere to these cutoffs now that Brian Gutekunst is in charge, but with Thompson still advising heavily on the draft board, we expect that they will still be heavily considered.
