Cheese Curds, 7/16: Are Packers planning to use more big receivers in the slot?

One thing that is clear from this offseason is that the Green Bay Packers like big receivers. From the team’s three rookie draft picks all standing 6-foot-3 or taller to the acquisition of veteran tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis (both 6-foot-6 or taller), there is a lot more height in those two rooms than there was a year ago.

One area where the Packers might use some of those players in new and different ways is from the slot, a position that often has belonged to Randall Cobb almost exclusively.
