Predictions that the Packers would add a wide receiver to their roster in the first round proved incorrect as the team used its two picks to add former Georgia defenders Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt to their front seven. The Packers stayed put to select those two players and General Manager Brian Gutekunst was asked [more]

“I think having weapons for him to go to is important,” Gutekunst said, via Bill Huber of SI.com. “We play in September, and we’ve got nine picks the next couple days and a whole summer before we get to that first game. So, I think certainly by the time we get to that first game, we’re going to add some one way or another to that room. Hopefully, it’ll fall right for us the next two days but, if it doesn’t, I don’t think we can reach and make bad decisions just because they’ve got a WR by their name.”

He has no problem reaching for Jordan Love though. Maybe he learned his lesson? Gute has been money with first rounders so far except Love. Gotta give him his props!

I've been looking around the web and most of the "experts" say that if Watson can correct his drop issues (this is his biggest knock and why he wasn't taken in the first round) he has the potential to be the best WR in this class when it is all said and done.

When you love a player as much as Gute and his staff love Watson, you do what it takes to make him a Packer.

Bravo to Gute and staff!
