Coming into the draft Green Bay has a few key holes to fill, not only for 2021, but 2022 and beyond as well. Although an extension for Davante Adams is expected before training camp, Green Bay currently has zero wide receivers on the roster in 2022 (Allen Lazard will be a restricted free agent).
Green Bay also has potential holes on the offensive line as All-Pro center Corey Linsley joined former Packer Bryan Bulaga in the beautiful Los Angeles sun, and future Hall of Famer David Bakhtiari will likely start the season on the PUP list as he recovers from an ACL tear. Adding talent to the interior of the defensive line has been a constant need since injuries forced Green Bay to cut bait with Mike Daniels two years ago. Despite this, the Packers biggest current need is undoubtedly cornerback.

For years, the cries have gotten increasingly louder to give Aaron Rodgers more firepower on the offensive side of the ball.  Last year, with the top scoring offense in the league, the Packers still came up one game short of the Super Bowl. The MVP quarterback managed to produce plenty of yards and points with the weaponry at his disposal.  Think about the last three NFC Championship game losses for the Pack. In 2016, Matt Ryan torched a depleted secondary, two years ago, the San Francisco 49ers ran all over the Green Bay defense and last January, a close game melted away with just a couple of suspect plays in the defensive backfield.
