The Packers fell short of expectations in the 2021 playoffs, falling to the 49ers in the divisional round after earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC. With the loss of star wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade to the Raiders, there is plenty of pressure on Green Bay to add pieces to support Aaron Rodgers and boost the team’s status as a Super Bowl contender immediately.
Once again, many expect the Packers to take a wide receiver in the first round, in yet another draft full of talent at the position. Whether that plays out is anyone’s guess, as the franchise hasn’t taken an offensive skill position player in the first round outside of quarterbacks Rodgers and Jordan Love since 2002 (Javon Walker).
The Packers have a pair of picks in the back end of the first round, and 11 picks total entering the draft. Here is how the Packers draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during the NFL draft):
- Round 1, Pick 22:
- Round 1, Pick 28:
- Round 2, Pick 53:
- Round 2, Pick 59:
- Round 3, Pick 92:
- Round 4, Pick 132:
- Round 4, Pick 140:
- Round 5, Pick 171:
- Round 7, Pick 228:
- Round 7, Pick 249:
- Round 7, Pick 258:
