The Green Bay Packers will need to use the 2022 NFL draft to replace the talent lost this offseason.
Davante Adams. Za’Darius Smith. Billy Turner. Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Chandon Sullivan. Lucas Patrick. Equanimeous St. Brown. Oren Burks. The Packers have a lot of snaps and production on offense, defense and special teams to replace in 2022.
Luckily for general manager Brian Gutekunst, the Packers have 11 draft picks, including five in the top 100 picks.
Teams don’t always look to the draft for carbon copies of players lost, but the 2022 draft class does provide options for the Packers to find similar players – in terms of athleticism, role, or play style – as those departing Green Bay.
Here’s one prospect the Packers could target to replace each of the team’s major offseason departures.
