Hello Wisconsin: Packers Have a Strong Draft, and Yes That’s the Only News of the Week

It was unequivocally a great weekend to be a Packer fan!

The Packers addressed a ton of areas of immediate need in the draft, something they generally failed to do in a 2020 draft that remains mysterious for so many reasons.

Their first-round pick, Eric Stokes, is an elite athlete and a strong cornerback prospect who played high-caliber football against outstanding competition in the SEC. He was a shut-down corner at the college level, has blazing speed and should complement Jaire Alexander nicely if he lives up to his potential.

There was certainly no other breaking news on the first day of the draft that overshadowed the selection of this promising young player out of Georgia!
