Steaming up at 40 overall in NFFC as Packers shift to pass-heavy offense

Christian Watson is steaming up significantly in NFFC drafts, going at 40th overall with variance ranging from 33 to 46 overall; the source identifies him as a 'need to have him' type player and flag plant candidate, driven by the Packers' need to become more pass-happy after two disappointing seasons, Josh Jacobs' volume concerns and off-field issues, and the potential for Watson to replicate 2024 Terry McLaurin's TD-heavy season; Watson is now being drafted ahead of established WRs like Mike Evans, Davante Adams, Jameson Williams, and DJ Moore.
