    Packers speedy wide receiver named trade target for AFC North team

    The Green Bay Packers have a very deep and talented wide receiver group. Other teams could be calling to try and strike a trade for one of their players not playing too many snaps.

    While listing players the Pittsburgh Steelers could trade for, FanSided's Zach Pressnell named Bo Melton as a potential target for them.

    "With Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs taking the top three spots in Green Bay, a player like Bo Melton could absolutely be moved in the coming weeks," wrote Pressnell. "Green Bay would still have four or five talented wideouts and multiple other talented skill players if they decided to move Melton for a fourth- or fifth-round pick."

    Melton's role with the Packers grew towards the end of last season. He even caught a touchdown in the playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers. However, this season he has only caught three passes. The Packers still have Malik Heath if they were to trade Melton.

    "Melton, a former seventh-round pick, hasn't really been given much of a chance to prove himself. He's only had 19 catches for 264 yards and a touchdown," wrote Pressnell. "He's also carried the ball seven times for 56 yards during his season and a half in the league. The 25-year-old remains incredibly talented with the ball in his hands. Given his age and asking price on him, the Steelers could upgrade their wide receiver core in a cheap trade for the Packers fifth wideout."

    The Steelers' wide receiver core has not lived up to expectations so far and adding a player like Melton could add another athletic piece they can look to.
