Despite the signing of wide receiver Sammy Watkins, it’s almost a lock that the Packers will take a receiver in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft. Christian Watson might not have the big school buzz and quality competition to his name, but he has two things you can’t teach: size and speed. Watson is 6’4” and blew the combine out of the water by running a 4.36-second 40-yard dash and compiling a 9.96 RAS. At the end of the season, he was projecting as an early day three or late day two prospect in the NFL draft, but he has since risen to being mocked solidly in the second round with some even valuing him in the first round.
