2022 NFL Draft prospects Packers could trade up for: Drake London, WR, USC

Drake London is one of two wide receivers near the top of draft boards whose long-term prospects are probably suffering because of a serious injury he suffered in college. That could open the door for the Packers to move up and grab London lower than he would’ve normally gone.

In just eight games last season, London rakced up an out of this world 88 receptions for 1084 yards and seven touchdowns. Yes, you read that correctly–he averaged 11 receptions, 135 yards and nearly one touchdown per game before a broken ankle ended his season.

London wouldn’t give Green Bay the speed element they desperately need, but he’s a big body (6-foot-4) who can dominate cornerbacks at the point of attack and catch anything thrown his way. Think Brandon Marshall.
