The Green Bay Packers added nine new players to their roster during the 2021 NFL draft. GM Brian Gutekunst used this year’s draft to select an athletic cornerback, three offensive linemen, a couple of offensive skill position players and help at both defensive line and inside linebacker.
The Aaron Rodgers situation looms large over the team right now, but nothing provides hope for a franchise quite like the aftermath of a draft. The upside of these new players – and the things they’ll bring to the table – provide a necessary jolt of excitement, especially for a team that didn’t do much in terms of adding outside talent in free agency.
