Packers draft 3 WRs to give Rodgers more playmakers

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay’s greatest position of concern heading into the draft remains a bit of a question mark even after the Packers selected three candidates to catch passes from reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers. “We’re certainly very much of the belief that competition’s going to bring out the best and the cream’s going to rise,” Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Saturday. And a lot of it’s going to be, ‘How fast can these guys pick up the offense?’” Armed with two late first-round picks, the Packers opted against trading up to get one of the top receiving prospects in this class as six wideouts went among the first 18 selections. On the final day of the draft, they selected Doubs and Wake Forest offensive lineman Zach Tom in the fourth round, South Carolina outside linebacker Kingsley Enagbare in the fifth and Georgia Tech safety/linebacker Tariq Carpenter, Miami defensive tackle Jonathan Ford, Penn State offensive tackle Rasheed Walker and Toure in the seventh. “What we did in the draft wouldn’t prevent us from trying to help our team at wide receiver or anywhere else.” WAITING ON PASS RUSHER The Packers needed to find an outside linebacker to complement the duo of Rashan Gary and Preston Smith after the cap-related release of Za’Darius Smith, but they didn’t draft anyone at that position until taking Enagbare with the final pick of the fifth round.
