No. 2 Best option to replace Davante Adams: Chris Olave, Ohio State

Aaron Rodgers wanted the Packers to take a top wideout — they drafted Jordan Love instead A few years later, it appears that drafting a wide receiver is inevitable. J’Marr Chase and Jaylen Waddle’s impact as rookies should give the Packers front office confidence.

Giving Aaron Rodgers a savvy route runner with excellent speed, could payoff early and often — that’s Chris Olave.

Olave is a smooth route runner who does an excellent job at the top of routes. He has great acceleration on underneath routes. He proved how fast he was with a blazing 4.39- 40-yards dash at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.

When the quarterback is on the move, he does a great job working back to the ball. Olave is an inside-outside receiver who will dominate off play-action and prove he’s a volume target early.
