Green Bay (Wluk) – Packers should choose 23rd in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday, just outside the Field Lambeau.
Looking at the recent history of the 23rd choice, there is good and evil.
Last year was really good, because Wr Brian Thomas played like a top 10 for Jacksonville, but there are failures, like 2022, when Buffalo selected Kaiir Elam, who did nothing.
This is the project, so there is never a safe thing, but here is an overview of the last 10 players chosen at n ° 23 and and some notables beyond:
2024: Wr Brian Thomas, Jacksonville Jaguars: Thomas captured 87 assists for 1,287 yards and 10 affected as a recruit. Thomas was chosen two places before the packers select Ol Jordan Morgan.
2023:WR Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings: Addison has 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 touched in two seasons. Packers chose Lukas Van Ness at n ° 13.
2022: CB Kaiir Elam, Buffalo Bills: Elam was chosen a place after Quay Walker and five places before Devonte Wyatt, and did not play in just 29 games with 12 departures with the Bills, who exchanged this off -season.
2021: OT Christian Darrisaw, Minnesota Vikings: Darrisaw played in the left tackle for 48 games in four seasons and has already signed a four -year extension. Packers chose CB Eric Stokes at No. 29.
2020: LB Kenneth Murray, Los Angeles Loaders: Loaders took three choices before Jordan Love in 2020. Murray has more than 400 plated combined during his five -year NFL career, but is already part of his third team (Chargers, Titans and Cowboys).
2019: OT Tytus Howard, Houston Texans: Howard, an All-Rookie team choice, started 77 career games and goes to the 7th year as a starter for the Texans. He played the majority of his clichés on the right tackle and left guard, but also managed the playing time on the left tackle and the right guard. Packers chose LB Rashan Gary at No. 12.
2018: OT Isaiah Wynn, New England Patriots: Five choices after the packers took Jaire Alexander, the Patriots caught Wynn, who ended up starting 40 games on the left or right for the Patriots. During his stay in New England, Wynn found himself in the injured reserve with injuries to toe, knees and feet and is no longer on a list of the NFL.
2017: Te Evan Engram, New York Giants: He did the pro Bowl in 2020 and 2023 (caught 114 assists). This is the year when the packers could have written LB TJ Watt, but exchanged the first round and chose CB Kevin King.
2016: WR LAQUON TREADWELL, Minnesota Vikings: Four choices before the packers take Kenny Clark, the Vikings chose Treadwell, who has 111 career catches and five career affected.
2015: Edge Shane Ray, Denver Broncos: Ray produced 12 bags during his first two NFL seasons, but a wrist injury hampered his career. He has not played in 19 games and produced only 2.0 bags in his last two seasons in Denver. Packers have chosen S Damarious Randall at 30.
Other notable no. 23 choices
2014: Edge Dee Ford, Kansas City Chiefs: 40 career bags
2010: OT Bryan Bulaga, Green Bay Packers: Played 10 seasons in Green Bay and started 122 career games.
2009: Ot Michael Oher, Baltimore Ravens: Started 110 career games and was chosen three places before the packers select LB Clay Matthews.
