Packers Trade WR Dontayvion Wicks for Draft Picks

0:00On April 1st, Packer's wide receiver, Dante Beyond Wix, stands 6 foot 1, weighs 206 pounds, and runs routes like a pro. In 3 NFL seasons, he's hauled in 108 passes for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns. Solid stats for 5th round pick out of Virginia back in 2023, but consistency trips him up. This past 2025 season, he scored just once, with his top game being 6 catches on Thanksgiving. Over 14 games, that average 2 receptions per outing, making him a reliable depth guy, like a WR-4, who steps up to WR-3 now and then. Packer's fans know the depth charts stack for 2026. Christian Watson should stay healthy all year. Matthew Golden will push Jaden Reed for that WR-2 spot. 3rd rounder Savion Williams needs targets, and new free agent Skymore brings speed that fits Matt LaFloor's offense perfectly. ESPN's Rich Samini points to the Jets as a trade fit, hunting veteran receivers.

1:04Green Bay's short on draft picks after that Michael Parsons deal, while New York holds 4 in the top 50. Swapping Wix for a mid to late rounder, or packaging him higher, looks like a steal. That move lets GM Bryan, Gouda Kunst, shore up cornerback and defensive line holes on a Super Bowl caliber roster. No real receiver gaps left, so Wix heads out with value in hand.
