The Green Bay Packers selected Rashan Gary with their first pick int he 2019 NFL Draft. Here are the pros and cons to that pick.

After months of waiting, the Green Bay Packers made their first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft at no. 12 overall. They surprised many by selecting Rashan Gary, a defensive lineman out of Michigan. Despite the surprise, there is a lot of hype surrounding the Packers’ organization.

In the previous regime, the phrase “In Ted we Trust” was coined and followed. After all, Packers’ fans had no other choice as then general manager Ted Thompson rarely dipped into free agency and often depended on the draft to improve his team. If fans didn’t have that faith, they would’ve gone even crazier than they already did.

Like every draft prospect, Gary comes with pros and cons. There are certainly things he can improve on as he begins his career in the NFL. However, there are also areas he hung his hat on that allowed him to get this far in his professional career.

As we get to know Gary and analyze this pick for Green Bay in the coming days and weeks, let’s take a look at what we know about him already. Here are some pros and cons to the Packers taking Gary at no. 12 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.
