Many projections foresaw the Green Bay Packers using their first-round pick to give Aaron Rodgers more weapons — not draft his successor.
Leading up to the draft, NFL talent evaluators declared this a deep offensive tackle draft, and that certainly seems to be the case as six players at that position went in the first round. After Thomas came Alabama's Jedrick Wills , Louisville's Mekhi Becton , Iowa's Tristan Wirfs , USC's Austin Jackson and Georgia's Isaiah Wilson .
Arnette certainly is talented, and he has great pedigree as the son of Hall of Famer Cris Carter. However, he was regarded as more of a second-round pick because, although he plays physically and with good instincts, he tends to struggle against some of the elite speed receivers. So they traded defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Colts for the 13th overall pick. On Thursday night, after moving back a spot, they drafted South Carolina's Javon Kinlaw, who they should be able to plug right in as a younger, cheaper replacement for Buckner.
