Christian Watson

An ill-timed ACL tear could prove costly for Christian Watson. Not only is the Packers wide receiver entering a contract year, his injury occurring in January has been expected to keep him off the field into next season. A tentative timetable has emerged, with The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman pointing to a likelihood of at least […]

As Schneidman points out, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst was the only GM to appear at a private workout for Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan. McMillan is currently ranked as the No. 7 prospect on Dan Brugler's top 100 and could become the first wide receiver drafted in the first round by the Packers since they took Javon Walker in 2002. The Packers not having a true WR1 was a point of pride for the team last offseason, but an injury to Christian Watson late in the year and an underwhelming cast of receivers behind Jayden Reed has led some to believe a true WR1 is exactly what Green Bay's offense needs in 2025. Whether or not McMillan falls to the Packers, who currently hold the No. 23 overall pick in the draft, is one thing, but in a draft that could feature three or four first-round picks at the position, Green Bay should have options if they want to upgrade at receiver.
