Packers’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who Green Bay Took Each Round

The Packers fell short of expectations in the 2021 playoffs, falling to the 49ers in the divisional round after earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC. With the loss of star wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade to the Raiders, there is plenty of pressure on Green Bay to add pieces to support Aaron Rodgers and boost the team’s status as a Super Bowl contender immediately.

Once again, many expect the Packers to take a wide receiver in the first round, in yet another draft full of talent at the position. Instead, Green Bay went defense and selected Georgia linebacker Quay Walker at No. 22.

The franchise hasn’t taken an offensive skill position player in the first round outside of quarterbacks Rodgers and Jordan Love since 2002 (Javon Walker). 

The Packers have a pair of picks in the back end of the first round, and 11 picks total entering the draft. Here is how the Packers draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during the NFL draft):

• Round 1, Pick 22 (from Raiders): Quay Walker, ILB, Georgia 
• Round 1, Pick 28: Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia 
• Round 2, Pick 53 (from Lions via Vikings): Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State
• Round 3, Pick 92: Sean Rhyan, OG, UCLA
• Round 4, Pick 132: Romeo Doubs, WR, Nevada
• Round 4, Pick 140: Zach Tom, OL, Wake Forest
• Round 5, Pick 179 (Compensatory): Kingsley Enagbare, OLB, South Carolina
• Round 7, Pick 228 (from Bears via Texans): Tariq Carpenter, LB, Georgia Tech
• Round 7, Pick 234 (from Lions via Browns and Broncos): Jonathan Ford, DT, Miami
• Round 7, Pick 249: Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State
• Round 7, Pick 258 (Compensatory): Samori Toure, WR, Nebraska

The 2022 NFL draft begins with the first round on Thursday, April 28 at 8 p.m. ET. The second and third rounds take place on Friday, beginning at 7 p.m. Rounds four through seven take place on Saturday, beginning at noon.
