2023 NFL Draft: The Reasons Behind the Picks
We all knew the areas in which the Packers needed help going into the draft. The shopping list was long. It included receiver, tight end, tackle, safety, edge and defensive line. What we didn’t know was how General Manager Brian Gutekunst would prioritize those needs.
As it turned out, when Green Bay went on the clock with the number thirteen pick in the first round, there were top rated players available at all of those positions. The number one prospects at receiver, tight end and safety were still on the board. Just one D-lineman and two edge rushers had been taken. It was a veritable buffet of great prospects to choose from.
First Round, Pick #13 – Lukas Van Ness, Edge, Iowa
