Offensive Linemen in the NFL are only expected to provide protection for their QB for 3 to 4 seconds. In that time, WR's are expected to run their routes and get open so their QB can have a clear target to throw the football to. Next , these professional athletes are "PAID" to catch the football.
The 2015 Packer WR's preformed very poorly. While it's true that J. Nelson was out for the season with an injury, the entire production of the WR corp should not rest upon one player. Janis and "Abby" did show promise when they were allowed to play. Cobb and Adams both had terrible seasons, and Montgomery was near invisible. James Jones was at times the bright spot of the passing game.
Trading Cobb / Adams or both to get an A.J. Green, or an Odell Beckham would be worth the player(s) + draft picks needed to make a deal. Don't worry though, Ted Thompson would never have the balls to make a bold deal.
So Draft a WR 1st in the 2016 NFL Draft !

You are right it isn't going to happen
So who is this "can't miss" WR who will be available at #28?
You better be sure this guy can jump Janis, Abby, Montgomery and Adams and immediately start as the #3 wr?
What happens when #28 rolls around and their is a better player , say a TE or a DL on your board also available?
Do you forego taking that player because you have made up your mind that The Packers MUST have a 7th receiver?
For some uknown reason you could trade Cobb away, who fills his position as a rb?
There was a whole package of plays that went out the window when Cobb went down in Arizona.
I've read a lot about how The Packers don't have that change of pace 3rd rb.
They actually do, just so happens he wears a wr # on the back of his jersey.
Too many what ifs.
I've read where this upcoming draft is loaded with wr's who project to be very good.
Pretty sure Ted will grab one, hell it might be in the 1st round if a guy falls and is head over heels the BPA left on the board.
To say The Packers MUST grab a wr at #28 isn't a good decision imho.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
