The Green Bay Packers understand that the wide receiver position is a priority this offseason. That became clear at the end of the 2024 season, when drops and injuries highlighted the position. It was verified when the Packers signed three-time Super Bowl winner Mecole Hardman to a one-year contract earlier this week.
However, there is another wide receiver with close ties to quarterback Jordan Love who could be an ideal fit.

While the Packers had a strong overall record, they never quite reached the top of the NFC. The Packers went 0-6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, and they lacked a dominant outside receiver. This could change soon.
The Packers are expected to select Jalen Royals with the 87th overall choice.
“The Packers’ wide receiver situation is an odd one because what they really need is a No. 1 receiver,” PFSN Ben Rolfe writes in his scouting report. “The problem is that when they get on the board in Round 1, there is unlikely to be a clear No. 1 that they can be confidence in.
“Jalen Royals fits the bill well. He has the speed to stretch a defense and has shown that he can win contested catch scenarios. He is also a threat after the catch, thus Royals is a Round 3 project choice who might be the developing element this offense requires over the next several years.”
