Another year at the NFL Draft, another year of the Green Bay Packers avoiding drafting a wide receiver in the first round.
During Thursday’s first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Packers were up to draft with the 22nd pick. Though a bunch of wide receivers were off the board by the time Green Bay’s pick rolled around, there was still an opportunity for the Packers to nab help for Aaron Rodgers on offense.
Instead, the Packers went full audible and went with… linebacker Quay Walker from Georgia? Yes, you read that right, the Packers once again passed on a wide receiver in the first round.
