The NFL is a game of replacement, and the Green Bay Packers have several veteran departures from free agency to replace on the roster entering 2023.
Receiver, tight end, safety, special teams. The Packers have roster holes to patch up in the 2023 draft.
Here’s our attempt to replace each of the Packers’ free-agent departures with a prospect in this draft:
WR Allen Lazard: Jonathan Mingo, Ole Miss
Departure: Lazard to Bears
Draft pick: Mingo
Lazard was a big, tough receiver who could make it happen as a blocker and convert as a receiver in big situations, giving the Packers the versatility and pre-snap deception that Matt LaFleur wants in the position.
