This could be a dream scenario for Green Bay, with Mykel Williams, Shemar Stewart, and Derrick Harmon all within moderate trade-up range if GM Brian Gutekunst covets a pass-rush upgrade along the defensive line. Ultimately, a chance to sit back and let
Tetairoa McMillan fall into their lap would be a boon for the Packers.
Green Bay hasn't had a 1,000 yard receiver since Davante Adams in 2021. In fact, the Packers have only posted four 700+ yard seasons over the past three years (Reed x2, Kraft, Lazard). While spreading the ball around has created a
balanced attack, an offense where no player commands more than a 16% target share may prove the lack of a field-tilting threat.

Tetairoa McMillan could immediately become a
go-to target for Jordan Love. McMillan has posted back-to-back 1,300-yard seasons, averaged over 100 yards/game the last two years, and posted at least eight TDs in each of his college campaigns. With a forty-yard dash in the mid-4.5s, McMillan isn't a natural burner or separator. However, he has the frame, body control, and ball skills to shield defenders and adjust to throws. With a dominator score and target share above the 90th percentile, a breakout age of 19.4, and an adjusted speed score in the 80th percentile, McMillan has plenty of data points that align with continued success.
