3 Players Green Bay Packers Should Draft to Improve Chances to Win Super Bowl

The Green Bay Packers will welcome another crop of young stars into their ranks tomorrow night during the 2022 NFL Draft. Who those drafted players are, remains a mystery.

However, we do have some good indications as to what the Packers need, and who they are looking to fill those roles. The Packers have 11 picks with which to fill in gaps in six of the seven rounds.  With that in mind, let's take a look at three guys that the Packers should be targeting tomorrow evening. 

Chris Olave, WR

With the 22nd pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Packers need to address their biggest weakness. They lack quality receivers for Aaron Rodgers to throw to. The loss of Davante Adams is huge, and the recently signed Sammy Watkins is not the answer. The Packers also lost Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the offseason. What’s left is Watkins, along with Allen Lazards, Randall Cobb, Juwann Winfree, and Amari Rogers. Not exactly a who's who of fearsome wideouts. 

Olave could do a lot to change that. The standout at Ohio State is blisteringly fast with a 4.4 40 time, and great hands. The only issue is his size. At 6-foot and 187, Olave is undersized for the position. That might lead them to take a look elsewhere in the draft and leave Olave on the table. 

Drake London, WR

If Olave’s size is something that scares the Packers then London is their next best bet at a WR with the No. 22 or No. 28 pick. He missed the end of the 2021 season with a fractured ankle that also kept him out of the combine. And yet, he is still one of the top-ranked wideouts in the draft. Why? Well, his 6-foot-4-inch frame probably has a lot to do with it. With a guy like Rodgers under center, London could do a lot of damage in the back of the end zone for the Packers. 

Bernhard Raimann, OT

Wide receiver isn’t the only position that the Packers need help with as Thursday's draft looms. Protecting a quarterback like Rodgers is a big job, and it takes a big man to do it. Luckily Raimann is 6-foot-7 and north of 300 pounds. He’s also a versatile athlete, even playing tight end at times. Green Bay needs one of those too, but I digress. 

While he might not be ready to start right out of the box at left tackle, there is room for him on the right side. He could use his size and speed to develop into an elite tackle sooner rather than later.
