It has finally come: Draft Day 2021 — this time in the capital of mediocrity: Cleveland, Ohio. After a grueling season that ended with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by the aging Tom Brady, putting a stop to the Packers’ 2021 Super Bowl hopes, we need to look forward to the next chapter in the team’s history and towards another draft.
Pick wizard GM Brian Gutekunst and the Packers brass(would make a great band name) will be expressing their will on the future of the team today with late round picks due to the team’s success in the previous season. As they often have, they may be looking towards the WR position for some future proofing; also needing some love will be the offensive line and a secondary with a questionable future.
List of Green Bay picks:
Round 1: No. 29
Round 2: No. 62
Round 3: No. 92
Round 4: No. 135
Round 4: No. 142 (Compensatory)
