6. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The Packers drafted three wide receivers in 2018. Valdes-Scantling was easily the best. He struggled with drops early in his career, but made significant improvements to his game. According to Pro Football Reference, he had 15 drops in his first three seasons, but none in 2021.

MVS quickly became one of the best deep threats in the NFL during his time in Green Bay, averaging 17.5 yards per reception over four seasons with the Packers. He caught 13 touchdowns in the regular season.

5. S Darnell Savage

The Packers traded up to get Savage in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has started almost every game since. He has played in 62 games for the Packers over four seasons, with 59 starts. Savage hasn't reached the Pro Bowl level many believed he would, but he formed a solid starting duo with Adrian Amos at safety.

Savage has made 31 pass defenses and nine interceptions, with one pick-six.

4. WR Christian Watson

Watson has only been in the league for one season, but he showed star potential. With his size, speed, and athleticism, defenders can only watch as he runs past them with the ball in his hands.

Despite making a slow start, in part due to injuries, Watson put his name in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year conversation by scoring eight touchdowns in the final eight games.
