If the early returns are any indication, the Packers did pretty well for themselves on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Carrington Valentine and Anthony Johnson, picks 232 and 242, respectively, have both shown up consistently in camp and seem to be playing themselves into bigger and bigger roles.
That two seventh-round picks are making any kind of noise at all is noteworthy, but it’s giving the Packers some relief in areas where they could definitely use it. Valentine’s ascension gives the Packers a bit of flexibility in the secondary, potentially allowing Rasul Douglas to move to safety, should the safety competition not sort itself out to the team’s satisfaction.
