Building The 2016 Packer Roster - Wide Receivers

Wide Receivers?  What a year last year - 2015!

Jordy Nelson goes down!

We pick up James Jones!

Randall Cobb gets hurt - Shoulder!

Davonte Adams gets hurt - Anke!

Ty Montgomery gets hurt - Ankle!

And as we mentioned previously, Eddie Lacy - fat, Tight Ends - Quarless not helping, Rodgers can't stretch the middle, offensive line hurt - they all take turn!  And what was deceiving, we started the season with 6 straight wins, and BAM!

So, our present roster?
Jordy Nelson
Randall Cobb
Davonte Adams
Ty Montgomery
Jeff Janis
Jared Abbrederis
James Jones - a free agent
Ed Williams
James Johnson

That is 9 wide receivers for 5-6 spots on the roster, last year we had 5 on the 53 man roster.

Looks like no need to draft wide receiver, BUT if Montgomery does not come around, drafting a speed receiver is what I would do!  Examples:

Corey Coleman 5'11" - 194 - Baylor - 40 yd - 4.40
Josh Doctson 6'2" - 202 - TCU - 40 yd. - 4.43
Sterling Shepard 5'10" - 194 - Oklahoma - 4.43

If we learned anything last year, the Pack MUST stretch the field.  Jordy can do that!  Janis, showed in the last game he can do that!  We NEED to stretch the field for Cobb, Adams, Cook, Richard Rodgers, etc.!
