1. Green Bay Packers (No. 29 or No. 62)

If there’s one spot that I think Elijah Moore could shine the brightest, it would have to be in Green Bay. The Packers are in need of some receiver depth and Aaron Rodgers has been deprived of that for years in Green Bay. That would change with the addition of Moore.

Although Rodgers is getting up there in years at the age of 37, he probably still has a few good years left in him, as evidenced by his 4,299 yards and 48 touchdowns in an MVP season in 2020.

And Rodgers did all of this with Davante Adams and a group of random dudes. Marquez Valdes-Scantling was Rodgers’ No. 2 receiver and Allen Lazard was third. Equanimeous St. Brown could still have a decent career, but he’s been quiet since being drafted in 2018.

Moore would provide an electric target for Rodgers and a guy who could complement Adams immediately. He might still be a No. 3 or No. 4 option behind Valdes-Scantling and Lazard, but that’s where he could flourish early on. He’d fly under the radar and become one of Rodgers’ favorite targets.

A connection between Rodgers and Moore just wouldn’t be fair and it’d be a dream scenario for any rookie receiver.
