NBC SportsThe Athletic's Matt Schneidman predicts the Packers "break the 22-year streak and take a wide receiver in the first round" of this year's draft.

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.

NBC SportsPackers signed WR Mecole Hardman, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one-year contract.

Hardman has spent all but five games of his six-year career with the Chiefs. Mostly playing as a gadget receiver and return specialist, Hardman has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs and made the Pro Bowl as a returner during his rookie season. He ventured outside of Kansas City for the Jets in 2023, but headed back to the Chiefs after just one catch in five games. Hardman returned 20 punts for 203 yards and five kicks for 132 yards last season. The Packers add him as reinforcement, though his traits overlap with Jayden Reed's and he is unlikely to see a consistent role unless Reed is out. Expect Hardman to primarily operate as a returner for the Packers.
