With the 214th pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Packers have drafted offensive tackle Cole Van Lanen. The three year starter out of Wisconsin is staying within the state and moving north to play for Green Bay.

After losing first team all-pro center Corey Linsley, along with Rick Wagner this offseason, Green Bay wasted no time in filling these holes. They’ve selected Josh Myers to replace Linsley at center in the second round, and now possibly Van Lanen to play right…

The Packers have a tradition every year where they don’t draft a wide receiver in the first round. The last time they did was in 2002 when they drafted wide receiver Javon Walker out of Florida State. With so much talent in the 2021 draft class, it’s hard picturing them drafting a wide receiver in the first round this year with so many positions needed to be filled. There’s so much value to be found in the later rounds, and one prospect is Arkansas State wide receiver Jonathan Adams Jr. Career At Arkansas State \ Adams played four seasons at…

The 2020 season was one for the record books for the Packers. They had the number one seed in the playoffs, were the number one ranked offense, and Rodgers won his third MVP. Unfortunately, their defense was inconsistent, and eventually shredded by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the conference championship game in Lambeau Field. This marks the fourth consecutive conference championship loss in Aaron Rodger’s career. Arguably, their defense is the main reason why they can’t make the leap to the super bowl. The last time they had a top ten overall defense was their super bowl…
