How does the Green Bay Packers' 2021 Draft look two years later?

Historically, the Green Bay Packers have been home to a draft-and-develop approach much more than spending lavishly in free agency, and such approach has been successful for the most part. General manager Brian Gutekunst splurged in 2019 on free agents more than Packer fans are accustomed to, signing tackle Billy Turner, linebackers Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith, and safety Adrian Amos. The defensive acquisitions completely transformed the defense. Since then, Gutekunst has not been nearly as aggressive in signing free agents, but he has still found value, highlighted by the signing of linebacker De’Vondre Campbell during the summer of 2021.
