GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 Every April, the Green Bay Packers \u2013 like every other team \u2013 act is if they’d just drafted two Hall of Famers and 10 instant contributors.<\/p>\n
That first-round pick is exactly who they had targeted for weeks. That Day 2 pick was someone they’d considered drafting a round earlier. That late-round pick was someone they figured would be off the board a couple rounds earlier.<\/p>\n
Then the reality sets in. The NFL is a different world and scouting is the most inexact of sciences.<\/p>\n
The Packers, with a talented core of veteran starters, didn’t need a bunch of sudden-impact draft picks. Good thing, because there’s not going to be a lot of sudden impact.<\/p>\n\n Scroll to Continue<\/span><\/p>\n To be sure, first-round linebacker Quay Walker looks to be exactly who the Packers thought they were getting with the 22nd overall selection. An instant starter, he’s never looked out of place. \u201cCertainly, he is far from a finished product,\u201d coach Matt LaFleur said after a 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night to close the preseason. As an unfinished product, Walker’s already pretty darned good.<\/p>\n But the other first-round pick, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, has been bad. Second-round receiver Christian Walker’s development was stunted by a knee injury. Third-round offensive lineman Sean Rhyan has been bad. The two fourth-round picks, offensive lineman Zach Tom and Romeo Doubs, could be starters at some point this year, but none of the five players selected in the final three rounds look like they’ll be immediate contributors.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
