After drafting entirely offensive players on day two for the fifth straight draft, the Green Bay Packers have shifted their focus back to defense with their first pick of the third day of the 2023 NFL Draft.
On the clock for the first time on Saturday with the 116th overall pick, the Packers have selected defensive lineman Colby Wooden from Auburn.
Wooden played defensive tackle at Auburn, but his size — 6’4” and about 275 pounds — suggests he could be an inside/outside player for the Packers. That size could make him a candidate to play as a big edge player at outside linebacker, but a bulk up to closer to 300 pounds could put him squarely in play as an interior lineman.
