The Green Bay Packers may have made the playoffs, but their offense was never built to go far. A lack of a true No. 1 receiver and inconsistent pass protection made life difficult for Jordan Love. The Eagles exposed these flaws, bottling up the Packers’ deep passing game and forcing them to rely on a non-existent quick-strike attack.
Christian Watson, while talented, isn’t the answer as a top target. His absence in critical moments only highlighted the lack of depth and hierarchy in Green Bay’s receiving corps. Jaden Reed flashed potential, but he’s not ready to shoulder the load. The offensive line, which struggled with injuries all year, failed to provide the protection Love needed to thrive.
The solution isn’t simple. Drafting a top-tier receiver in a weak class might not move the needle, and free agency options are limited. The Packers must also shore up their interior offensive line and find a running back who can provide consistent production. This offseason is critical for Green Bay to turn a good offense into a great one.
