The Green Bay Packers obviously lost a huge part of their offense when they traded star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only did Green Bay lose their go-to wideout, but they also lost their primary deep threat in Marqez Valdes-Scantling, who bolted for the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. It's clear that the Packers could use another wide receiver. But what kind of receiver? Head coach Matt LaFleur spoke about the wide receiver room at the NFL owners meetings and revealed exactly what Green Bay is looking for after losing Adams and Valdes-Scantling, via ESPN.
“Certainly, if you look at our roster right now, we definitely need to get some speed in that room,” LaFleur said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Florida. “We need a legit guy that can take off the top of the coverage. We lost a guy that was pretty good at doing that.”
LaFleur said that the Packers need to “get some speed in that room.” The Packers head coach noted that they lost a player, Valdes-Scantling, who can take the top off the defense.
They also lost Adams, who LaFleur called their “separator.” It's obvious that an Adams replacement won't just be waiting to be scooped up but if the Packers are searching for speed, they should look no further than the 2022 NFL Draft class of wideouts.
Players such as Chris Olave and Skyy Moore wowed scouts with their speed at the combine, while others, such as Jameson Williams were known for their speed in college.
There are plenty of options to satisfy LaFleur's need for speed.
