In the 2024 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers showcased a promising performance, finishing with an 11-6 record and strong contributions from quarterback Jordan Love and running back Josh Jacobs, who tallied 1,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Despite this success, the team faced disappointment, finishing third in their division and falling in the playoff's first round. Jacobs notably expressed the need for the Packers to acquire more talent, specifically emphasizing the necessity of a top-tier wide receiver. He argued that while the current roster boasts complementary skills, it lacks a proven No. 1 target.

Jacobs critiqued the team’s depth chart, which includes talents like Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs, stating they require a more elite receiver to truly compete. Alongside wide receiver improvements, he pointed out the need for upgrades in edge rushing and defensive backfield positions. Despite investments in recent drafts at the wide receiver position, including several second-round picks, the Packers may be hesitant to spend another high pick on a wideout, given their historical approach.
