The Green Bay Packers will be without the services of Christian Watson and the vertical presence he brings to the offense for a large chunk of the season, as the former NDSU wide receiver recovers from a torn ACL.
Without him, the Packers lack a true field stretcher. The Packers have potential options on the roster that could help soften the blow of Watson's absence, but smart money suggests that Brian Gutekunst will look to add a wide receiver in the draft who can stretch the field.
Given that the Packers have a short-term and a long-term need at wide receiver, it's a safe bet that Gutekunst will target a wide receiver in the first three rounds and then turn his attention to adding a vertical threat on Day 3 of the draft.
