ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., the man who essentially invented draft coverage, just dropped his first post-free agency mock draft and he had the Green Bay Packers doing the unthinkable: actually taking a first-round wide receiver. Kiper has Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka, who mostly played in the slot for the Buckeyes, coming to Green Bay.
With that being said, Egbuka is sort of in the Justin Jefferson situation, where he clearly has the ability to play outside receiver but played in the slot because of another freak pass-catcher on his team. In Jefferson’s case, it was Ja’Marr Chase — now the highest-paid non-quarerback in NFL history.
