2023 NFL Draft: Virginia’s Dontayvion Wicks Drafted by Packers

With the 159th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers selected wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Virginia Cavaliers.

This is around where Wicks was projected to go, as he had a mid-round draft grade from most analysts. In past years, a wide receiver going to Green Bay was, almost by definition, going to a good spot. With Aaron Rodgers at the helm, almost any receiver could have success. With Rodger’s move to the Jets, this is no longer the case. Wicks will likely be catching passes from Jordan Love, who has thrown 83 passes in his NFL career.
