4. Chris Olave

He was Ohio State’s best receiver, but I still get the feeling he’s underrated when compared to other prospects heading into the draft.

ESPN’s Todd McShay has him going 25th to the Jets with a pick New York acquired in a trade with Seattle.

The Packers, who spent the 2020 draft ignoring receivers, may finally get Arron Rodger some help by taking Justin Field’s No. 1 weapon.

McShay forecasts a strong wide-receiving class, as he has seven wideouts going in the first round with DeVonta Smith leading the way. Olave is his sixth receiver off the board.

If he somehow fell to the Packers, it would be the ideal situation for the 6-foot-1, 188-pounder. Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere and pairing up Olave with DeVante Adams would make Green Bay a bigger threat than they already are.

Olave finished his Ohio State football career with 110 receptions for 1,766 yards and 22 touchdowns.
