Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur doesn't deny that his team has a major need at wide receiver.

If you look at our roster right now, we definitely need to get some speed in that room. We lost a guy that was good at that.

The Packers traded All-Pro wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders.

It leaves Allen and Randall as the top returning options.

Over the last three years, he has 14 receiving touchdown and 513 receiving yards, but his career high was in 2021. In the last two years, Cobb has only reached 1,000 yards in each year.

The Packers used a third-round pick on Rodgers, who played on special teams and had four catches in 16 games.

Without help at receiver, the Packers offense could struggle.

The team has two first-round draft picks.

Since 2002, the Packers have not used a first-round pick on a receiver. Since then, they have mostly succeeded in targeting wideouts in the second round.

There are a lot of big names available in free agency. No matter who is added, it will be hard to replace Adams.

Brian Gutekunst, the general manager, said that to replace a guy like Davante Adams is going to be a multi-pronged approach.
