Packers: Why Green Bay’s 2019 Draft was a success

The Packers started the draft with 10 picks overall, including two in the first round. Due to some wheeling and dealing, they came away with eight total draft choices.

While it will take a couple years to figure out how good this draft really was, it’s not too much of a stretch to see if this draft, on paper at least, was a success or failure.

To recap, the Packers drafted:

  • RD 1: OLB Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage
  • RD 2: OL Elgton Jenkins
  • RD 3: TE Jace Sternberger
  • RD 5: DL Kingsley Keke
  • RD 6: CB Ka’dar Hollman, RB Dexter Williams
  • RD 7: LB Ty Summers

The focus of the draft seemed to be on the continued rebuilding of the defense.
