Peter Bukowski· Mar 27, 2026
Bukowski expects Georgia State receiver Ted Hurst to be drafted before the Packers' third-round pick at No. 84, and believes edge rushers David Bailey, TJ Parker and Cassius Howell will all be gone before Green Bay picks at No. 52. He also ranks Hurst as his top day-two receiver ahead of Chris Brazzle and Jeremy Bernard.
