Green Bay Packers 2023 NFL Draft picks
1st Round, No. 13 overall (from NY Jets) | Lukas Van Ness, EDGE, Iowa
Instant grade: B
Analysis: Green Bay continues to build in the front seven. Van Ness has to get more consistent but has decent leverage understanding and hand usage. This will be a pick for 2025.
2nd Round, No. 42 overall (from Cleveland via NY Jets) | Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
Instant grade: B-plus
Analysis: Mugrave has some wow plays on film. Consistency and pass blocking will need to improve. That's par for the course for many young tight ends, for what it's worth.
2nd Round, No. 50 overall (from Tampa Bay) | Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State
Instant grade: A
Analysis: The Packers! Good skill player picks! I really liked Reed as a Day 2 option. Watch a Michigan State game, and you'll notice him open a lot. He's also able to work the YAC. Good fit.
3rd Round, No. 78 overall | Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State
Instant grade: A-minus
Analysis: Aaron Rodgers must be shaking his head. A third Day 2 pass catcher for the Packers and the second tight end.
