Dream scenario for Packers in 2022 NFL Draft: Trade up for Drake London

The Packers pull off another trade in this deal, moving up in the draft to grab an elite playmaker at the wide receiver position. Gutekunst is no stranger to trading up in the first round and a move such as this is a very real possibility come Draft Day.

Drake London is PFF’s top receiver in this class and The Athletic’s second-ranked. He reminds scouts a lot of Brandon Marshall thanks to his 6-foot-4 frame and ability to box out defenders and make tough catches. That size will do him wonders as the weather turns cold in Lambeau later in the season.

Speed is his biggest downfall–something Green Bay lacks all around–and probably something he can’t really improve. Otherwise, his hands and catch radius are off the charts.
