| 3/14/25 | Packers 2025 Draft Board: With The Top FA Receivers Signed, Could The Packers Draft A Receiver 23rd Overall?. GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The Green Bay Packers decided not to make a move on any of the top available wide receivers this off-season signaling that there may be one or two receivers that they like in next month's draft. The Packers have not drafted a wide receiver in the first round since they selected Javon Walker 20th overall in the 2002 NFL Draft but with Christian Watson expected to miss most of the 2025 season and Romeo Doubs dealing with concussion issues in 2024, they may decide that the 2025 NFL draft is the time to break the 23-year streak. Here are the top five receivers that make the most sense for the Packers. Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka: Egbuka finished his college career Source: https://wsau.com/?p=814726... |
| 4/16/23 | How the Packers' 5 draft classes under Brian Gutekunst have fared in Green Bay. The Green Bay Packers have been criticized for their conservative approach to the NFL Draft long before Brian Gutekunst took over as the team's general manager in January 2018. With the franchise last using a first-round pick on a wide receiver in 2003, selecting Javon Walker from Florida State at No. 20 overall, the league's annual draft has been a sore spot for some fans for nearly two decades. As Gutekunst is busy preparing for his sixth draft as the Packers' GM — this year's draft will be held April 27-29 — here's a look at how his first five classes have contributed in Green Bay.

| 3/21/22 | NFL Draft Bible Mock: Packers Use Both First-Rounders on Receivers. GREEN BAY, Wis. The Green Bay Packers haven’t drafted a receiver in the first round since Javon Walker in 2002. That’s 20 years. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/nfl-draft-bibl... |
| 4/28/21 | 1. Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota. After Packers GM Brian Gutekunst punted on the deepest wide receiver draft in NFL history a year ago, when 36 receivers went overall (and six went in the first round) — but none went to the Packers, could this be the year that they add a wideout in Round 1? If they do, it’d mark the first time since Florida State’s Javon Walker was the team’s first-round pick in 2002. Source: https://www.voiceofalexandria.com/sports/national/... |
| 4/21/21 | Would a Packers' first-round receiver after all this time be set up to fail?. The longer the Green Bay Packers go without drafting a receiver in the first round, the harder it will be on the one they finally take in that position -- whether it's next week, next year or next decade. It’s too late for it to be any other way. Most of the receivers worthy of consideration at the top of the NFL draft were still in diapers the last time the Packers picked one in the first round (Javon Walker, 2002).

| 6/27/20 | Packers take stud Big 10 WR in Draft Wire's way too early 2021 mock draft. The Green Bay Packers didn’t take a wide receiver in the 2020 draft, but maybe Brian Gutekunst’s big investment at the position will finally arrive in 2021. Draft Wire’s way too early mock draft for next year predicts the Packers will use a late pick in the first round on Minnesota receiver Rashod Bateman, one of the top returning pass-catchers in the country. The Packers haven’t taken a wide receiver in the first round of a draft since drafting Javon Walker at No. Source: https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/06/27/packer... |

What actually happened: Traded up, drafted TE Jeremy Shockey 14th overall Where he was actually picked: 20th overall by the Green Bay Packers The New York Giants were also pretty solid at offensive tackle in these days, but they did lose a pass-catcher when Shockey went to Jacksonville in the top 10.

GREEN BAY - Javon Walker remains the answer to a trivia question as the last wide receiver the Green Bay Packers selected in the first round of the NFL draft — way back in 2002 out of Florida State.

| 4/14/20 | POD Community Mock: With the 30th pick, the Packers select.... With the 30th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select Patrick Queen, linebacker from LSU. I originally went into this draft wanting the best wide receiver available for the Packers, but after doing some research on our SB Nation’s sister site Acme Packing Company and discovering the Packers haven’t picked a WR in Round 1 since Javon Walker in 2002, I went in another direction. Also, with the depth at WR in this draft I can get a good one in Round 2. Source: https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2020/4/14/21221532/... |
