The Green Bay Packers added 11 new players to the roster during the 2022 NFL draft. General manager Brian Gutekunst used this year’s draft to select an athletic linebacker and defensive lineman in the first round, plus three offensive linemen, three wide receivers, an edge rusher, a hybrid linebacker/safety and a massive nose tackle.
There is no better dose of optimism for an NFL team than the draft. Draft picks are the lifeblood of a competitive roster. The upside of these new players – and the things they’ll bring to the table – provide a jolt of excitement, especially for a team that lost several key players during the offseason.
