GREEN BAY, Wis. – In case you’ve forgotten, here’s the history lesson:
The Green Bay Packers haven’t used their first-round draft pick on a receiver since 2002. Before that, it was 1988.
However, none of the Packers’ young receivers took a step forward in 2024, Christian Watson (ACL) and Romeo Doubs (concussions) have injury questions, and the free-agent market is weak.
So, perhaps Cam Mellor’s new NFL mock draft for College Football Network, in which he sent Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka to the Packers with the 23rd overall selection, isn’t totally preposterous.
