4/19/25	2025 NFL Draft: Packers may draft early to boost receiving group. The likelihood that wide receiver Christian Watson will miss much of the upcoming season creates a dilemma for the Green Bay Packers as they make their draft plans. Watson, the Packers' top deep option, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the Packers' 2024 regular-season finale. "It won't shock me at all if he's a big factor for us this season, but at the same time, these are big injuries," GM Brian Gutekunst told reporters at the NFL owners meetings. The Packers' only free-agent addition at receiver was the speedy Mecole Hardman, who has just 27 catches over the past two seasons. Source: https://www.fox6now.com/sports/2025-nfl-draft-pack...

4/14/25	Packers Host All-American Receiver with 4.37 Speed on NFL Draft Visit. There is certainly a theme that is growing among the Green Bay Packers' predraft visits at receiver. They have a need for speed, and they are searching far and wide to find it. After hosting Texas' Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond, the Packers brought in Maryland's Tai Felton, according to Tom Silverstein . That would be former Maryland Terrapin, Tai Felton. He ran his 40-yard-dash in 4.37 seconds. That's plenty of speed to burn with the Packers searching for a replacement for Christian Watson, who will miss the start of the season with a torn ACL. The athletic traits don't stop there, with a 39.5-inch vertical leap and 10-foot, 10-inch broad jump. Felton was not your typical burner.

4/01/25	Packers Felt First-Round Receiver Burden in New Three-Round NFL Mock Draft. The Green Bay Packers' receiver corps, which underperformed in 2024, will enter the 2025 season a man down following Christian Watson's torn ACL. With general manager Brian Gutekunst failing to secure a proven, difference-making receiver in the offseason, there is a chance the Packers will use their first-round pick on a receiver for the first time since 2002.

3/24/25	Chiefs' trade pitch would land sleeper playmaker from Packers. The Green Bay Packers have quite a few decisions to make over the next year. One of those decisions will have to do with what they want to do at the wide receiver position. Both Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs are heading into the final years of their respective contracts. More than likely, the Packers will not be able to keep both of them long-term. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/green-bay-pack...
3/16/25	Seven-Round Packers Mock Draft After Week 1 of Free Agency: First-Round Receiver. Will this be the year the Green Bay Packers draft a receiver in the first round? The Packers haven't done it since 2002 – generally for good reason. This year, there is good reason to make it happen, which is why we sent Texas receiver Matthew Golden to the Packers in the first round of our latest NFL mock draft. Green Bay's receiver corps underperformed in 2024 and will be weaker to start 2025 following Christian Watson's torn ACL. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/seven-round-packers...

3/04/25	Packers named in huge trade proposal for star WR that would make them Super Bowl contenders. After a somewhat disappointing 2024 season in which their quartet of young wide receivers didn't take the next step forward, the Green Bay Packers clearly need a legitimate star at that position in order to go from a playoff team to a Super Bowl contender. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs were somewhat underwhelming, and none of them reached 900 receiving yards or eight touchdowns on the season.

3/02/25	What would the Packers have to give up to trade for Seahawks star WR DK Metcalf?. The Green Bay Packers didn't quite meet the lofty expectations plenty had for them this season. One of their needs is a game-changing wide receiver, especially with Christian Watson expected to miss a good chunk of the 2015 season due to a torn ACL.

2/25/25	Green Bay Packers release rough wide receiver injury update. The Green Bay Packers lost Christian Watson to a torn ACL in the final game of the 2024 NFL season. Unfortunately, that came with the likelihood that Watson would miss at least the start of the 2025 campaign. While that expectation has been in place, there have been confirmations or updates given by the Packers themselves. Now, an update has been given about Watson's expected status.

2/23/25	Reasons for and against Packers re-signing CB Eric Stokes. The Green Bay Packers declined the fifth-year option on cornerback Eric Stokes, who will now be unrestricted free agent when his contract officially expires in March. Will the Packers bring him back or decide to move on? — After two injury plagued seasons, Stokes played in all 17 games without an injury during the 2024 season. Like Christian Watson, Stokes consulted with UW-Madison during the offseason to help fix soft-tissue injuries in his hamstrings. Source: https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2025/02/23/reason...
2/20/25	It Might Be Impossible for Packers to Replace Christian Watson. Christian Watson might not be the Green Bay Packers' best receiver but he's certainly the most irreplaceable. Set aside Josh Jacobs' headline-grabbing statement that the Packers need to add a No. 1 receiver this offseason. It might not be impossible, but close to it (barring a trade), a reality that could impact the Packers deep into 2025 as Watson travels the long road of ACL recovery. Because of a knee injury, Watson missed Week 17 at the Minnesota Vikings. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/it-might-be-impossi...
2/19/25	NFL rumors: Packers' potential WR1 chase draws eye-opening take. Will the Green Bay Packers land a WR1 in free agency or the NFL Draft? That's the question that Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has been trying to answer. Luckily for the franchise, they've had a great time developing receivers. Guys like Christian Watson and Jayden Reed have emerged as top options. Still, it hasn't stopped Packers running back Josh Jacobs from addressing the team's biggest need: A WR1 . Although Watson and Reed have shown flashes, landing someone right now could benefit Green Bay for the next season. With that being said, the question is a little unfair, one year after the Packers signed safety Xavier McKinney and Jacobs.

2/06/25	First-Round Receiver? Yes, First-Round Receiver for Packers in New Mock Draft. GREEN BAY, Wis. – In case you've forgotten, here's the history lesson: The Green Bay Packers haven't used their first-round draft pick on a receiver since 2002. Before that, it was 1988. However, none of the Packers' young receivers took a step forward in 2024, Christian Watson (ACL) and Romeo Doubs (concussions) have injury questions, and the free-agent market is weak. So, perhaps Cam Mellor's new NFL mock draft for College Football Network , in which he sent Ohio State receiver Emeka Egbuka to the Packers with the 23rd overall selection, isn't totally preposterous. “With WR1 skills and the versatility to excel from any alignment, his elite ball skills and unmatched body control make him a game-changer Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/first-round-receive...
1/25/25	Why Packers trade could entice Seahawks WR DK Metcalf. The Green Bay Packers need a deep threat wide receiver in the worst way in 2025 and beyond. Christian Watson was supposed to be that guy for the Packers, but let's be honest. Sure, he gave the Packers the threat of a deep threat —and that can be a big help in opening up an offense — but the times in which he delivered were few and far in between. The point is, the Packers can't rely on Watson to be that guy anymore, and he likely never will be in the NFL again. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/why-packers-trade-could-e...
1/24/25	Packers floated as blockbuster trade fit for $72 million two-time Pro Bowler. Following their disappointing first-round playoff exit, the Packers learned that they will be without athletic wideout Christian Watson until at least November of 2025. Without Watson's vertical threat, the Packers' offense as currently constructed would be limited in its versatility. If the Packers want to shake things up, however, there are blockbuster trades to be had this offseason that could rejuvenate their passing game.

1/23/25	Packers 'expected' to be in trade sweepstakes for $72 million two-time Pro Bowler. The Green Bay Packers didn't just lose in the first round of the NFC playoffs this season. Christian Watson, who has shown flashes of brilliance but been heavily inconsistent during his three-year Packers tenure, is expected to be out until Thanksgiving next season with a torn ACL. Without Watson, the Packers' offense severely lacks a vertical threat. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/green-bay-pack...
1/20/25	Packers predicted to replace Christian Watson with Texas star in mock draft. The Green Bay Packers opted not to add any receivers last offseason. With the group failing to take the next step and Christian Watson expected to miss a chunk of time, the Packers could target the position early in the NFL Draft. During a three-round mock draft, FanSided's Freddie Boston predicted that the Packers would replace Christian Watson with University of Texas wide receiver Marcus Golden in the second round of the draft.
