The Green Bay Packers didn’t take the leap many expected in the 2024 season. A solid but unspectacular performance on both sides of the ball led to a Wild Card Round exit that didn’t raise many eyebrows. However, with Jordan Love securing a massive contract extension, the team needs to act quickly to build a true contender.
Through free agency, the team has been relatively quiet, making the 2025 NFL Draft their best opportunity for improvement. One analyst believes that Green Bay’s biggest upgrade could come in the form of a true offensive centerpiece.
Green Bay Packers Predicted to Revamp Offense Around Jordan Love
Last season, the Packers were solid on both offense and defense but didn’t reach elite status in either. While their defense ranked 10th in PFSN’s Defense+ metric, their offense finished just inside the top 10 at 8th in the Offense+ metric.
However, in their playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, their offensive weaknesses became glaring. Without a true elite playmaker, the team struggled to find consistency, leaving Love looking more boom-or-bust than a steady leader.
With free agency failing to bring in a game-changing weapon, the focus has now shifted to the draft. Jacob Infante believes the best way for Green Bay to take the next step is by adding an alpha wide receiver.
“Though the Packers have a deep wide receiver room, none of their players have proven that they’re WR1 caliber. They still need that alpha target for Jordan Love,” Infante said.
In his latest mock draft for PFSN, Infante has Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris going to the Packers with the 54th overall pick. A five-year collegiate veteran, Harris spent his last two seasons with the Rebels, improving from 985 yards in 2023 to 1,030 yards in 2024.
Additionally, Harris has recorded 29 touchdowns over four collegiate seasons. In his freshman year, Harris accounted for just one reception worth 20 yards. Infante is particularly high on the 6’3”, 210-pound receiver, calling him an intriguing prospect.
“The FBS leader in receiving yards per game this season, Tre Harris brings an intriguing combination of size, speed, and agility that could make him a dangerous threat at all levels of the field in the pros.”
If Green Bay wants to build a true Super Bowl contender, they need consistent production from Love, which in turn requires reliability from his receiving corps. Based on his college career, Harris has proven himself as a dependable playmaker.
If he can replicate his success in the NFL, this could be a home run selection that helps bring another Super Bowl to Titletown.
