How do the Packers replace Davante Adams in the 2022 NFL Draft?
Drake London
Quite simply, Drake London is a problem for cornerbacks. His acceleration and quick bursts might not be exemplary among his peers in this year’s NFL draft class, however, due to his height and size he is incredibly difficult to take down once he’s caught the ball.
Similar to Olave, though, London would be nothing like the Packers have seen before. A positive for Rodgers would be that – due to his size – London would be a ‘get out of jail free card’ similar to Davante Adams, but in his own unique style. Due to his size, he was able to grab a lot of rushed throws from Jaxson Dart, even with heavy coverage. So where Adams could use his handy route running and agility, London uses his fantastic hands and physical presence.
A negative from the Packers perspective is that it’s still not a direct replacement for Adams, and is that what Rodgers needs to finally make it out of the NFC for the first time since 2011?
