If they don't land one of the top receivers in the draft on Day 2, though, it's going to be tough for Packers fans to swallow.' Pro Football Focus: Likes Wyatt better than Walker So, it was smart of Green Bay to hang tight and get the best value possible. 'If the team had traded up into the top 12 to pick one of the top receivers, it would have cost a significant price - as evidenced by the Lions' swap with the Vikings on Thursday night. 'My grade reflects the value of the players selected, who will both be outstanding additions to the defense,' Reuter wrote. However, his NFL.com teammate, Chad Reuter, gave the Packers an A grade for the first round. Even though the Packers selected a couple of promising defenders from Georgia (linebacker Quay Walker and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt), it felt like they missed an opportunity to do more with an offense that sorely needs to improve its weaponry.' But let's not overlook the fact that Lions made a bold move in trading up 20 spots to draft (Jameson) Williams. 'There also was a run on receivers earlier than expected, with five going in the first 16 selections. 'Yes, we understand there are still six rounds left, and that the All-Pro receiver the Packers just traded away (Davante Adams) was uncovered in the second round back in 2014,' Chadiha wrote.

NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha included Aaron Rodgers as one of the night's big 'losers.' Adding Wyatt to a group that already includes Kenny Clark, Jarran Reed, Dean Lowry, Preston Smith, and Rashan Gary gives the Packers a chance to field one of the deepest and most talented defensive fronts in the league.' NFL.com: Gives 'A' to both, but Rodgers one of the night's losers 'With the second of two first-round picks, Green Bay grabs my second-ranked defensive tackle in Wyatt, a highly athletic disruptor who bolsters the team’s interior line. This is a slight reach and Walker is relatively inexperienced as a one-year starter, but he fills a need for Green Bay and should contribute right away alongside De’Vondre Campbell. 'With the top-tier receivers all off the board, though, I do like this fit: Walker combines great size, range, and physicality and is an outstanding blitzer. 'The Packers continue the increasingly funny troll job of Aaron Rodgers by using the pick they got in the Davante Adams trade to select a defensive player,' Kelly wrote. I thought Watson would have been a great fit.' The Ringer: Wyatt pick slightly better than Walkerĭanny Kelly of The Ringer gave the pick of Walker a B and Wyatt a B-plus

'Wyatt is a nice player, but Green Bay passed up North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson, which must mean the franchise thinks it can upgrade with a veteran for Aaron Rodgers to target. 43 overall on my Big Board, so this was a reach. He has some talent, but I didn't see him put it all together in college. 'This is all about the Packers projecting Walker's potential, because he's 6-foot-4 and 241 pounds and ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the combine. 'Walker was tough to evaluate he didn't have the splash plays that Dean did. 'If you watch the Georgia film closely, you'd really struggle to understand why Walker was drafted before his teammate Nakobe Dean,' Kiper wrote. Mel Kiper classified the Packers draft as the head-scratching variety. Green Bay’s defense got a lot better with Wyatt and linebacker Quay Walker, and Aaron Rodgers has months to complain about no first-round receivers on Pat McAfee’s show.'ĭougherty: The Packers still desperately need help at receiver after devoting two first-round picks to defense ESPN: Kiper feels Packers make 'head-scratching' picks 'Wyatt is an amazing interior defensive lineman who brings Kenny Clark to mind, and when dealing with the Packers’ interior defensive line over the last few seasons, it’s been all about doubling Clark and singling everybody else.
