Where Will Green Bay Packers’ WRs Land on Depth Chart?

The team is not too far removed from losing Greg Jennings, Donald Driver and James Jones over the course of two seasons. But now, Green Bay once again finds itself with an abundance of talented receivers on the roster.

THANKS TED!

Janis is the favorite to lock up the fourth spot, and Montgomery will likely make the team as a return man and the fifth receiver. Abbrederis could also contribute on special teams and be a potential injury replacement if the Packers keep six receivers when the season starts.

I really like a couple of these UDFA guys too though. Could push Abby out the door, despite his ST versatility.

Mike McCarthy and his staff do a great job developing wide receivers. It also helps to have a quarterback who is considered the most accurate in the NFL as well.

Nelson and Cobb clear starters; I see Janis and maybe Abbrederis passing up Adams - I know this is red meat for the Janis detractors/Adams backers, but that's the way I see it if everybody gets the same opportunity. Montgomery sticks as a #6 receiver/3rd down RB/kick returner.

Some develope faster than others.

Las year Adams showed he could move from college into the pros and be a reliable 3rd option for Aaron.
Boykin got injured, Adams got his shot, and never looked back.
Janis wasn't ready last year.
He got his shot this Spring with Jordy sitting and from all reports sounds like he has vastly improved in his route running and his ability. To grasp the playbook.

Abredaris is still an open book.

Missing all of last year really has him behind, but he will get his chance to show what he has got.

I don't think Janis will pass Adams, but I hope to hell he pushes him so hard that the coaches have to get him in the game.
They are all going to get their shots, here's hoping the all make the best of it.

Having too many talented receivers is not a bad thing!

So I'm guessing it'll be more about how physically and mentally healthy, Abbrederis is or isn't, as meaning is he back to 100% and does he fully trust his body or will he be over careful and mentally going half speed because he's worried or unsure about his knee/body.

I'm just hoping the three of them get about the same number of snaps and situations. Abbrederis missed that, of course, because of injury, and it seemed to me that Janis didn't get the opportunities Adams got. People can claim all they want that Janis didn't develop properly or didn't learn the plays good enough or whatever, but I don't buy it. Make it equal this time around, and I bet the cream comes to the top. Not that Adams is bad, but I'm pretty sure Janis and Abbrederis if his knee is OK will prove to be better.
