North Dakota State’s Christian Watson will try to add one more chapter.
The Packers traded up 19 spots to take Watson with the 34th overall selection in the NFL draft Friday as they seek more targets for reigning MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers now that All-Pro receiver Davante Adams is gone.
“Obviously being able to catch passes from one of the best to ever do it is something I’m definitely excited about,” Watson said. “I feel like I’m going to be able to learn and grow a lot through not just him but all the other receivers and everyone else in the organization as well. I definitely couldn’t be more excited to go at it with Aaron Rodgers.”
The Packers also selected UCLA offensive lineman Sean Rhyan in the third round with the 92nd pick. Rhyan was a three-year starter at left tackle during his college career but also could play guard.
