The Green Bay Packers shocked the football world once again Thursday night by passing over the wide receiver position to select Georgia linebacker Quay Walker with the 22nd overall pick in the first round. While this move garnered plenty of media headlines, Brian Gutenkunst and company stuck to their board and picked the highest rated player available on their board instead of reaching for need at wide receiver.
It's hard to argue with the Packers GM's track record in the first round. It was not too long ago a similar enraged-fused and baffled reaction rippled through the Packers fan base when Green Bay selected Rashan Gary 12th overall in 2019.
