The Green Bay Packers had a really tough choice to make. Either let their best and news-loving quarterback Aaron Rodgers go and spread the money around or retain Aaron at any cost and then try to cut costs as much as possible. They took the second option.

Davante Adams is undoubtedly one of the best wide receivers going around at this point in time. So when he announced that he will not play under the franchise tag something had to give as Green Bay had already dedicated a lot of funds towards retaining Rodgers.

Davante went to the Raiders leaving behind a massive void for the Packers to fill. Recently, when Aaron was asked at the Pat McAfee Show about the possibility of Green Bay drafting a star WR like Deebo Samuel, he replied by saying not many teams would be willing to let their top WRs go.

It was evident that the Packers will look for Wide Receivers in the draft and did exactly that. The Green Bay-based franchise roped in Christian Watson into their team at the NFL draft. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Watson is a talented WR. He is a four-time FCS champion.
