Multiple early picks should help Packers find receivers

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY PACKERS LAST SEASON: The Packers won a third straight NFC North title and owned the conference’s No. The Packers fired special teams coordinator Maurice Drayton after the season and replaced him with former Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: Arkansas WR Treylon Burks; Penn State WR Jahan Dotson; Purdue DE George Karlaftis; Ohio State WR Chris Olave; North Dakota State WR Christian Watson. OUTLOOK: The Packers figure to use at least one of their two first-round picks on a receiver, something they haven’t done since selecting Florida State’s Javon Walker 20th overall in 2002.
