28. Packers – Treylon Burks, Wide Receiver, Arkansas

We know the Packers selected a wide receiver earlier in the first round, but that doesn’t mean they’re finished with the position. They must continue to look for weapons to help them get the most out of Aaron Rodgers. They also want to assist in keeping the veteran quarterback pleased following the trade of Davante Adams. Burks stands 6’3″ and weighs 225 pounds, so he provides both size and quickness. Remember that he was a First-Team All-SEC selection at Arkansas last season, with over 1,100 receiving yards. That means he has a good chance of making an impact as a rookie, which is precisely what Green Bay needs.

29. Chiefs (From 49ers Via Dolphins) – Jahan Dotson, Wide Receiver, Penn State

After dealing Tyreek Hill, there’s no doubt the Chiefs will use the additional pick to draft a wide receiver. The catch is that they’ll be drafting so late in the first round that many of the top receivers will be gone by choice number 19. Nonetheless, they’ll be pleased to have found Dotson this late in the round. Dotson lacks the classic size of a big-time wide receiver, but he has speed and frequently plays in the slot. Needless to say, that sounds eerily similar to Hill. After his numbers at Penn State last season, the Chiefs should take a risk on him and hope that playing alongside Patrick Mahomes will help him make an instant impact.
