Green Bay Packers: 5 Receiver trade targets following 2020 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers have a pressing need for a speedy wideout capable of stretching the field. Marquez Valdes-Scantling proves that skill-set, but has been far too inconsistent. A potential trade target entering the last year of his current contract is Houston Texans receiver Kenny Stills.

Stills, 28, was acquired from the Miami Dolphins as part of the Laremy Tunsil trade package in 2019, has game-changing speed. The Texans can save $7 million in cap space with no dead money by releasing or trading Stills. If the Packers were to trade for him, the draft capital needed would likely only be a sixth- or seventh-rounder.

Stills is one of the best deep threats in the NFL. In 2019, Stills caught 9-of-12 passes of 20 or more yards, the highest rate in the league among receivers with at least 10 targets. In seven seasons, he’s racked up 299 receptions for 4,699 yards (15.7 average) and 36 touchdowns.

The Packers have a need for speed, and Stills could provide them with a modest option. He may not be as fast as he once was (4.38-second 40-yard dash), but he’s still one of the most underrated receiver in the game today.
