The Green Bay Packers' 2023 draft class has been generally well-regarded overall, with premium draft capital used to get better up front on both sides of the ball. The Packers selected 13 players, including four in the top 100 and nine total picks on Day 3.

The team also attempted to fill needs at backup quarterback and kicker. The Packers will get early impact from the rookie class, with many players expected to play snaps right away.
