Green Bay wasted no time finding a weapon for Aaron Rodgers in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. The Packers made a trade with NFC North rival Vikings at No. 34, sending its No. 53 and No. 59 picks to Minnesota to draft North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson.
Initially, the Packers were not slated to make their two selections until later in the second round of the draft. The franchise getting Watson comes a day after it did not draft a wide receiver in the first round on Thursday night.
