This is from FoxSports.. I highlighted what to me is the most important part of this:
Exact and to the point. Everyone from Gutey on down is out of excuses for defense. Coaches, players, everyone. This unit needs to play like a unit with 8 first-round picks (and that includes the playoffs) or the defense needs to be blown up and rebuilt.Green Bay Packers: B
It wasn't the petty draft I would have hoped for, but the Packers took Lukas Van Ness out of Iowa at No. 13 overall with the intention of playing him inside rather than on the edge. That alone makes me feel better about them not selecting a pass catcher in the first round, though it means Green Bay will field eight first-round picks on the defensive side of the ball alone this coming season. The defense is out of excuses.
Clearly, taking a receiver at No. 13 was too rich this year — Jaxon Smith-Njigba didn't come off the board until No. 20. But Green Bay did address pass catchers on Day 2, taking two tight ends and a wide receiver. Jayden Reed out of Michigan State may actually be my favorite of the picks for the way he can complement the Packers' other young wideouts. —Vitali
