The Green Bay Packers face significant challenges as they prepare for the upcoming draft, particularly in the wide receiver department due to Christian Watson's long-term injury. Watson, known for his vertical speed and ability to stretch defenses, leaves a gap the team must address. General Manager Brian Gutekunst is likely to prioritize adding a wide receiver early in the draft, with a focus on finding a speedy option who can replicate Watson's explosive plays.

Several prospects stand out as potential targets. KeAndre Lambert-Smith from Auburn boasts impressive speed with a 4.37 seconds 40-yard dash and a strong collegiate performance, averaging nearly 20 yards per reception. Dont'e Thornton from Tennessee has also caught attention, with a remarkable 25.4 yards per reception and elite speed recorded at the NFL Scouting Combine. Other names include Chimere Dike and Kyle Williams, both of whom have demonstrated their ability to make big plays and could be viable options on the draft's Day 3.
