Can the Packers afford to not take a receiver at #22?

Since receiver Davante Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, the obvious response most Packers fans have had is stating that the team will finally have to spend one of their first-round picks on a wide receiver, something they haven’t done since Javon Walker in 2002. My question, though, is if the Packers can afford to wait until even 28th overall to take a receiver.

At the moment, the team’s top wideouts are Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers, a less-than-stellar group to say the absolute least. More importantly, every single team in the NFL knows that and will act on that information.
