• The Packers Are Paying For the Sins Of the 2021 Draft Class

The Green Bay Packers’ first two selections of the 2021 NFL Draft were cornerback Eric Stokes and interior offensive lineman Josh Myers in the first and second rounds. This offseason, the only two additions the Packers made were Aaron Banks, an interior lineman, and Nate Hobbs, a cornerback.

• Former Packers CB Eric Stokes could be a good risk/reward signing for Cowboys

Peter Casey-Imagn Images Here’s a look at how the first round could shake out. Well, the NFL Combine is over, and free agency is due to kick off soon. After that, we come to the draft.
