Several Members of 2020 Class Now Set for Big Roles in 2021

To put it lightly, the Green Bay Packers took their fair share of criticisms for their 2020 draft class. The national media and draft analysts had a field day, ripping the Packers for their selections and the approach that they took.

After losing in the NFC Championship Game to San Francisco, just about everyone expected that Green Bay would load up with some immediate help at positions like receiver and interior defensive lineman to make another Super Bowl run in 2021--which as we all know, they still did even without immediate contributions from their draft class. But instead, Green Bay took a more long-term approach, and as a result, we didn't see much of this 2020 draft class last season.
