The 2023 NFL season of the Green Bay Packers is not just all about quarterback Jordan Love’s evolution into a reliable asset under center. It’s also definitely not lost on Packers fans that the success Green Bay enjoyed in the 2023 campaign was also due in big part to the great performances of their rookies.
Green Bay Packers Won the 2024 NFL Draft
Wm. Glasheen USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst deserves the praise he’s been getting for an excellent job he did during the 2023 NFL Draft that saw Green Bay welcome a slew of talented youngsters.
Via Pacers Wire:
The 2023 draft class. This draft class looks like an absolute home run by Brian Gutekunst. Lukas Van Ness, Jayden Reed, Luke Musgrave, Dontayvion Wicks, Karl Brooks, Colby Wooden, Carrington Valentine, Anthony Johnson, and Tucker Kraft, all played key roles and made some big plays throughout the season.
Love wouldn’t have had the breakout 2023 campaign that he had if it weren’t for the likes of first-year Green Bay Packers weapons downfield in Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks, who finished the regular season first and third on the team in receiving yards, respectively.
Reed paced the Packers with 793 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 64 receptions, while Wicks had 581 receiving yards and four touchdown catches on 39 receptions. Reed was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, while Wicks was taken in the fifth round, making them two of the best finds at the draft. And that’s not to mention the other players mentioned above.
Now, it’s about developing those young studs into better players heading into 2024.

It should be noted that Gute passed over a premium player at a position of need and handed him over to Detroit no less when he traded down in the 2nd round. Brian Branch would have been a great addition to our secondary and I feel like Jayden Reed would have still been available later. However that trade and the next with TB made it possible to aquire D. Wicks & Karl Brooks. So its kudos in the end!
