Will the Packers diversify their receiving corps in 2020 NFL Draft?

The Packers have had a “type” at most positions in the NFL Draft since the Ted Thompson era. See this piece on Cheesehead TV from Justis Mosqueda for details. They typically favor players with good-to-great athletic profile/RAS scores, though the parameters vary by position. In general, it’s a sound strategy.

One potential drawback, though, is that this can lead to a lack of diversity in the types of players available at a given position. To an extent, the Packers find themselves in that situation at receiver.

Of their presumed current top five receivers, only Davante Adams is shorter than six-foot-four.
