The draft is starting to get talked up. Mel Kiper has already put out his initial first round mock draft. He has the Packers taking a WR in the first round with the 17th pick. WR is looking like a deep position in this years draft.........

Kiper's first-round projection
By Mel Kiper
ESPN.com

As we get deeper into the evaluation period and it becomes apparent which players have the talent to be drafted in the first round, I begin to match those players with the positional needs of NFL clubs. The result is my first projection of how the first round of the 2001 NFL draft might look. As the combine and individual workouts change the esteem in which certain players are held, check back to see how my first-round projection changes as well.

17. Green Bay | Reggie Wayne, WR, Miami (Fla.):

The perception of Wayne right now is that he's a possible go-to wide-out and sure-fire No. 2 option. I also remember back in 1995 when nobody though Antonio Freeman was feature wide-out material. That's why he lasted into the latter portion of round three. In Wayne's case, he carries a higher grade going in but will also be looking to prove that he's capable of developing into the focal point of a pass offense at the pro level. Following his outstanding career with the Hurricanes, Wayne turned quite a few heads at the Senior Bowl practices where he proved to be the most skilled route-runner in attendance. His polish and experience should make it possible for Wayne to contribute heavily as a rookie in the NFL.
