00:00Here's an intriguing topic, DRS, the best receivers for the five best records around the NFC this season.

00:08And namely focusing on one team, who you will see at the bottom, who was just ousted in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.

00:15That being the Green Bay Packers. Amon Ross St. Brown, sensational year for the Lions.

00:20A.J. Brown probably wishes that number was higher, but still over 1,000 for Philadelphia.

00:25Justin Jefferson, living up to the billing, is the highest paid non-quarterback in the history of the NFL.

00:31Terry McClorin, a career year in his first season with Jaden Daniels as his quarterback.

00:37The Packers' leading wide receiver was Jaden Reed, barely over 850 receiving yards.

00:44Now, there's a plethora of wide receivers the Packers utilized this year.

00:48Christian Watson, injured in the regular season finale.

00:52You had guys like Romeo Dobbs that dealt with his fair share of injuries this year as well.

00:56Dantavion Wicks, a ton of players that filled it up for the Packers, but it was more quantity over quality.

01:04And as the Packers now exit the postseason after only one game and scoring only 10 points against the Birds, DRS, buyer's sell to you.

01:13The Packers are an elite receiver away from being true Super Bowl contenders.

01:19Absolutely you would buy that, because that's what you're missing right now.

01:22When you look at the Packers, quality defense, young defensive coordinator here, learning the stakes there with most of those players.

01:27They'll be fine in the future. The offensive line is decent, got an all-pro player at right tackle.

01:31You have a running back in Josh Jacobs who is phenomenal.

01:34You have a couple decent young tight ends, but you're just missing that go-to wide receiver in the biggest moment.

01:39It's third and seven. I know he's going to beat his man and be healthy for that football game.

01:44I don't want to hear about, hey, you know what? Watson's going to come back midseason next year, be that one.

01:48He's done, right, at this point. He is a, if he comes back and gives you anything, that's fine.

01:52Jaden Reed, good little wide receiver, fast, but you need that number one.

01:55Look, honestly, the reimbursement Packers, if they had Justin Jefferson added to this team, he's an elite wide receiver.

02:00They'd probably dominate. A.J. Brown as well. C.D. Land, you see Amon Ross, St. Brown.

02:04Give them a top flight wide receiver onto an already a good playoff team here.

02:09Absolutely I would buy that. You give them a good wide out, which means love would get better,

02:13because everybody else will be open, which includes the number one wide out,

02:17which would have rolled coverage to him, which he would be beating anyway,

02:20because that's what elite wide receivers do.
