At first glance Gutekunst and his staff have added some potentially good players to the team. It is possible for all three players to be starters or solid contributors this year.
Eric Stokes should be a starter or at the very least CB3 by midseason. Even if he struggles it's hard to imagine him being worse than King who graded out as one of the worst CBs last year.
With Linsley leaving for big bucks, Josh Myers could well be the starting center on day 1. It's also possible he could be one of the starting guards with Jenkins being the center. At the very least he adds depth to the Oline. Green Bay did draft Stepaniak, Runyan and Hanson last year but they are all 6th round picks and may or may not develop. While Runyan got into few games last year PFF wasn't overly impressed with his performance. He came away with a 53.8 score. A 59 or less means the player is "replaceable". That's not horrible for a rookie 6th round pick but hopefully Myers will do a little better job.
Amari Rodgers is a multi tool receiver. He isn't the greatest WR in the draft but GB doesn't need it. He is a good complement to Adams and he fits MLF's scheme very well. It's possible that he will out perform every WR not named Adams.

I realize some fans will point to other players and lament that Green Bay should have selected them instead of the guys they took. Thing is no one knows for sure what the careers for the 2021 draft class will be. There are weaknesses on the team and Gute and Co did a pretty good job at shoring them up.

I like all 3 picks mostly because they address key areas of need. The gadget WR to replace Ervin was a spot I was really hoping they'd address. Adding Dillons power rushing and Rodgers being a threat on those presnap motion plays could take the offense to new levels of dominance.

Defenses will basically be forced to give the Packers some advantage. They play for the run and the Packers either have Rodgers/Jones/Tonyan matched up 1v1 against a lb, or Adams in single coverage.

If defenses play alot of nickel/dime the Packers can smash them up the middle with Dillon or hit the edges with Rodgers + Jones.

It'll be a tough offense to stop.

I stayed up until the Corey, err Josh Meyers pick and then crashed. I was exhausted with all of the Aaron Rodgers hate and Green Bay Packers hate that I kept stupidity finding myself reading.

As for the picks. I find all three of them very encouraging. I can actually see all three playing integral roles in the upcoming season as the Packers march on to another Super Bowl victory.

CB Eric Stokes will probably start out covering the slot, or WR 2/3 before carving out more snaps by the end of the season.
C Josh Meyers will probably be starting Center week one.
WR Amari Rodgers will probably be returning kicks and punts and used on sweeps and whatever other things Matt LaFleur conjures up.

It seems like the board has fallen reasonably well in their favor so far, allowing the Packers to pick a few guys that were clear needs but also look like solid value for where they were taken. I don't know enough about the college players to say who should have been drafted instead, and the draft is a crapshoot anyway so I won't try to speculate.

I'm excited about the corner, Eric Stokes. While speed isn't everything, I don't think the packers have had this sort of speed in their defensive backfield since Sam Shields and Nick Collins. With Alexander, Savage, and Stokes, they have 3 players in the 4.31-4.38 range.

The center, Josh Myers, seems likely to be a day one starter, and should provide some versatility on the line, allowing the Packers to move Jenkins to LT to fill in for Bahktari early in the season if need be. The Packers have drafted offensive lineman well in recent history, so this seems like the safest pick of the bunch.

And the WR, Amari Rodgers, is exciting - as many people have mentioned the Packers haven't had a guy like this since Cobb so I think he'll add another dimension to the offense, and he seems to have value as a returner. Gute said he was considering him with the 2nd round pick, so it's great that he was able to get him in the 3rd, even if he had to give up a 4th to get him.

It would have been nice to see an OT in the 2nd rather than a C, but they need both so I'm not going to get bent out of shape about it. That said, I'm hoping for an OT and a defensive lineman in the 4th and 5th. An ILB, or another CB or WR would seem like a reasonable pick with one of the two 5ths that they have. - Again, solely on need, as I don't follow the college kids well enough to narrow it down to specific players.
