[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 867393, member: 12283"] With free agency (possibly) just around the corner, these are the guys that I've landed on as preferred Packers targets: [B]Wide Receiver: [/B]I am not stoked on this WR class as a whole, however there are a handful of guys who would be fine as depth at the right price.
