Green Bay Packers Draft Trend: A Prospect’s age

Now, using the list we just compiled, we will eliminate any prospects who are age 22 or older. As mentioned above, the Green Bay Packers have drafted players 22 years of age, but Stokes had just turned 22, and prior to his arrival, every first-round pick since 2015 had been 21 or younger–so I will be using that as the benchmark.

Things can also become unclear if we were to use 22 years as the benchmark. If someone is turning 23 within a few months, do the Packers value that prospect differently? Does it not matter? So we will eliminate those questions altogether.
