GREEN BAY, Wis. – It took until the fifth round, but the Green Bay Packers finally drafted a skill-position player. They picked receiver/kick returner Trevor Davis of California at No. 163 overall.
My take: Without Jordy Nelson, the Packers lacked speed in their receiving corps. In fact, they had the slowest pass-catching group in the league last season. Davis changes that. He ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at the combine, which was the third-fastest among all receivers who ran in Indianapolis. The Packers say they had him timed in the mid-4.3 range. “That was one of the main attractions, definitely,” Packers director of football operations Eliot Wolf said.
