This comment fell on deaf years last year, but I'll say it again. The WR group for 2020 was overvalued and it was believed 2021 WR group would outshine that of 2020. Now that so many teams drafted WR in 2020, I suspect the Packers can land a quality WR (or two) on Day 2.
I'm thinking (based on what I see from college player rankings) the Packers go OL, WR, OL, WR for the first four picks. This includes trading up/down.

But yes, I've sorta been split between, Packers don't draft offensive players in the first round unless they're QBs or OTs.... and WRs Kadarius Toney and/or Terrace Marshall Jr. Might be right there for the taking.
Packers do often draft for position where there have a star going into a contract year (usually in the second selection, but all the WRs are basically in a contract year.
So many teams need OL help and so many have let OL go to get under the cap, I think we could see a very heavy run on OL early and often.
Do you really think the Packers will ignore the defense two years in a row with the top of the draft?
If they do, R.I.P. defense... and Rodgers will have a shot at another MVP as he'll have to score so many points to keep up...
They seriously need CBs... and it doesn't help that King is a UFA, Sullivan is an RFA, according to Zero2Cool someone reportedly said the Packers will be releasing Josh Jackson, the 6th CB is an RFA and was injured all year.
So it's supposively just Alexander and Hollman right now for three starting positions. I would guess Savage would be next up... but even then, Packers #3 Safety is an RFA.
Packers are in trouble for lack of coverage guys right now.... not in terms of talent, but in terms of bodies period. But also talent...
