Meet Your Green Bay Packers 2021 Draft Picks

Another draft has come and gone! While the 2020 draft may have held a lot of mystery and controversy for Packer fans, the 2021 draft was all about addressing areas of need with relatively little quibbling.

Let's meet your new Green Bay Packers!

Round 1

29th overall: Eric Stokes, Cornerback, Georgia

Jaire Alexander was arguably the finest cover corner in the NFL in 2020, but the other side of the field was quite often a mess, and one could argue it cost the Packers their season. While the mercurial Kevin King will return, there was a clear need for an upgrade for the future of the position, and so the Packers invested yet another top pick in a defensive back: this time the speedster Eric Stokes from Georgia.
