61. Tennessee (Previous Pick: Isaiah Wilson, Georgia) – RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia
62. Green Bay (Previous Pick: QB Jordan Love, Utah State) – WR Donovan Peoples-Jones

Note: Receivers on the board included K.J. Hamler, Laviska Shenault, Chase Claypool, Tyler Johnson, and Van Jefferson. While Hamler would be electric, he doesn’t seem to fit what Green Bay wants in its receivers. Shenault has injury concerns and isn’t as polished at the position. Peoples-Jones seems to be the prototypical Packer: excellent measurables and athleticism with unrealized production.

63. Kansas City f/SF (Previous Pick: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU) – LB Logan Wilson, Wyoming
64. Seattle f/KC (Previous Pick: LB Jordyn Brooks, Texas Tech) – WR K.J Hamler, Penn State
