BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~137 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~181
ANALYSIS: Lost in the Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs wide receiver talk last season was the emergence of Wicks, who impressed in early spot duty for the Packers before becoming a regular contributor from midseason through the playoffs.
If you just look at his 2023 stat line of 39 receptions, 581 receiving yards, and four touchdowns, it doesn't strike immediate optimism. However, Wicks' peripheral stats of 2.04 yards per route run, as well as one earned target for every five routes run (20% TPRR) despite his limited number of routes shows that he's a solid contributor who just needs to be on the field more.

I mean, when your quarterback is pumping out these training camp one-liners, it only adds fuel to the drumbeat. Wicks is a player we need to be much more in on at cost. If the receiving pecking order in Green Bay were more settled, Wicks would likely be going much higher or undrafted altogether.
Due to the reality that there are a lot of mouths to feed in this offense, Wicks' ADP is being suppressed. He has an ample path to being a league-winner and, at worst, a consistent contributor to an offensive that is close to breaking through into elite status for 2024.
