Instead of taking a wide receiver in round one and helping Aaron Rodgers, the Packers selected Rodgers’ possible successor.

However, they wanted to get a receiver in round two, but they couldn’t find a team to trade up with.

General manager Brian Gutekunst told Peter King of NBC Sports that the Packers had two receivers they were targeting, and they tried to trade up with several teams, until the second receiver they preferred got picked, and then they stopped.

The Packers ultimately used their second-round pick on Boston College running back A. J. Dillon.

It’s obviously unknown who the Packers were targeting, but these were the receivers taken in round 2: Tee Higgins (Bengals), Michael Pittman Jr. (Colts), Laviska Shenault (Jaguars), K. J. Hamler (Broncos), Chase Claypool (Steelers), Van Jefferson (Rams), Denzel Mims (Jets).

Ultimately, the Packers didn’t select a single receiver in this year’s draft and only added Devin Funchess via free agency.
