50 elite athletes the Packers could target on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL draft
The Green Bay Packers selected four elite athletes during the first two days of the 2022 NFL draft. If you consider third-round pick Sean Rhyan to be a guard, then the Packers picked four players in the 93rd percentile or better for relative athleticism at their respective positions.
“Size and speed is important to us,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said Friday night.
The Packers’ work through the first three rounds follows a continuing trend under Gutekunst. The roster-builder of this team wants top athletes.

TE Daniel Bellinger, San Diego State
