The Packers might have a bigger need on the defensive line, but I think it’s safe to say no position has caused more angst and consternation this offseason than wide receiver — and a lot of it has been misplaced.

Could the Packers receivers have been better in 2024? Without a doubt. Are there still short- and long-term concerns at the position? No question. Are the Packers’ wide receivers a collection of no-talent bottom feeders? Absolutely not.

Maybe they’re missing a player (or two!) to put them over the top, but there’s still talent in the wide receiver room. Jayden Reed is plenty exciting in a variety of roles, Romeo Doubs is a steady contributor at his best, and Dontayvion Wicks still has loads of potential and even flashed solid performances in 2024 amid an overall disappointing year.

None of that means the Packers can’t get better, and maybe they still should have made a big move like trading for D.K. Metcalf or bringing Davante Adams back into the fold. But if you’re of the opinion that the Packers can still improve internally enough to make a difference in 2025, I don’t think you’re out of line. I don’t share that opinion — I think they need to add at least one receiver in the draft, and probably earlier than later — but I wouldn’t call you crazy for holding it.

And maybe that’s the ultimate point here: the Packers still have a pretty good foundation at receiver. Whether you think they need to add to it or not is a different question, but this is still a position that’s off to a pretty good start.
