Green Bay Packers Draft: Receivers Discussion
The Green Bay Packers have a type at receiver under Matt LaFleur. Receivers need to run and are usually 200-plus pounds
ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND - DECEMBER 27: Anthony Smith #9 of the East Carolina Pirates scores a touchdown after making a catch in the third quarter against the Pittsburgh Panthers during the 2025 Go Bowling Military Bowl at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on December 27, 2025 in Annapolis, Maryland.

Let’s take you through what the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart looks like, what the draft class looks like and what the Packers could potentially do at the position on draft week.
Packers Receiver Depth Chart Christian Watson Matthew Golden Jayden Reed Dontayvion Wicks Bo Melton Savion Williams Skyy Moore Will Sheppard Isaiah Neyor Jakobie Keeney-James On paper, I would say that receiver isn’t much of a need for the Packers in 2026. They have seven players who are 53-man roster caliber and Savion Williams, a top-100 pick from last year’s draft, is already caught in the logjam. With that being said, the team could look ahead and make a draft pick that helps more in 2027 (and beyond) than in 2026.
While these receivers are under contract this year, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Skyy Moore are all going into the final seasons of their contracts. Only Matthew Golden and Savion Williams are under contract for 2027 and beyond. I’m sure the team will get a deal done with Watson, and there’s the potential for Green Bay to extend Reed, too, but there’s still a chance the team targets the position to help themselves out in 2027.
