GREEN BAY PACKERS
Round 1 (No. 22 overall, from Raiders) – Quay Walker, LB, Georgia :A versatile ’backer from that elite Bulldogs D, Travon Walker said that Quay Walker was the ’Dawg to look out for once he reached the pros. Quay Walker can line up off the ball, on the edge or even handle occasional slot duty.
Round 1 (28) – Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia: Cat quick despite his 6-3, 304pound build, Wyatt can operate in multiple fronts and roles.
Round 2 (34, from Lions through Vikings) – Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State: The Pack leap up to this point by trading both of their secondrounders (Nos. 53 and 59) to the Vikes. The Packers are renowned for striking gold with Round 2 wideouts, and Watson joins the ranks of recently departed Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Greg Jennings in that club. A 6-5, 208-pound target with 4.36 speed would be a dangerous option for QB Aaron Rodgers.
Round 3 (92) – Sean Rhyan, OT, UCLA: The 6-5, 321-pounder either winds up at right tackle or guard for the Pack depending on where Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins lands.
Round 4 (132) – Romeo Doubs, WR, Nevada
Round 4 (140, compensatory) – Zach Tom, OT, Wake Forest
Round 5 (179, compensatory, from Colts through Broncos) – Kingsley Enagbare, DE, South Carolina
Round 7 (228, from Bears through Texans) – Tariq Carpenter, LB/S, Georgia Tech
Round 7 (234, from Browns through Lions and Broncos) – Jonathan Ford, DT, Miami (Fla.)
Round 7 (249) – Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State
Round 7 (258, compensatory) – Samori Toure, WR, Nebraska
Grade: C+
Hard to spin the loss of Adams as any sort of positive. GM Brian Gutekunst got aggressive in Round 2, dealing up for North Dakota State WR Christian Watson. Yet it’s also fair to posit the Packers had gone as far as they could with the Rodgers-Adams connection.
