12. Jayden Reed

Reed was the first wide receiver the Packers took in this year’s draft, being selected at 51st overall in the second round. He brings a different type of pass-catcher than Green Bay currently has Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. He’s good at just about everything, even if he lacks an elite skill. He should be able to line up all over the field and impact the game in a myriad of ways.

11. Tucker Kraft

Kraft may experience the steepest learning curve of any rookie due to his college competition. However, he checks all the boxes and could become a big-time tight end for Green Bay given the appropriate time and development. It wouldn’t surprise anyone to see him leapfrog the next player on the depth chart in three-to-four years.

10. Luke Musgrave

Musgrave was the Packers’ top offensive weapon chosen in this draft and has the potential to impact the game with his blocking and pass-catching. He’s fundamentally sound and has enough athleticism to get open and make defenders miss after the catch.
