It’s been 23 years since the Packers took a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft. Put differently, a prospect born the day the Packers last took a receiver in the first round would now be on the older end for players the Packers would consider. To recall another relic of the early 2000s, it’s been a while.
But for a team that historically doesn’t take receivers among the first 32 picks, the Packers are doing an awful lot of work on receivers this spring. Their visits point to the taking a wide receiver at some point this year, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them grab one early.
