The Green Bay Packers have some holes to address in the offseason, and the 2025 NFL draft should provide the team with some answers to their problems.
Among the positions the Packers could use some help via the draft is the wide receiver, and many fans online on Monday night expressed their desire for Green Bay to get Ohio State Buckeyes star wideout Emeka Egbuka.
“Early WR targets for #Packers: Rd 1 – Emeka Egbuka, Rd 2 – Jalen Royals, Rd 3 – Tory Horton”

“Egbuka being physical. And with the 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL draft, The Green Bay Packers select, Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State.”

“Yes. I know Green Bay hasn’t taken a WR in the first since 2002. But. Egbuka is pro-ready and would quickly become Jordan Love’s go-to target.”

Should Green Bay target Emeka Egbuka in the first round?
The Buckeyes wide receiver turned heads in the College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as he collected 64 receiving yards on six catches to help Ohio State defeat Marcus Freeman’s squad, 34-23. What made the night even more memorable for Egbuka was his ascent to the top of Ohio State’s all-time list of reception leaders.

While quarterback Jordan Love had solid weapons downfield in the 2024 NFL season, the Packers didn’t really have a true WR1. It remains to be seen what exactly the Packers will do with their No. 23 pick in the draft and whether they’d add a proven wide receiver in the offseason, but Egbuka could indeed be an option for them.
