Packers end Equanimeous St. Brown's slide in 6th

The Green Bay Packers have selected wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown out of Notre Dame with the 207th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

St. Brown was expected to be a Day 2 pick, and the reason for his slide has been rather mysterious. The Notre Dame product is the third receiver taken by Green Bay this draft after J'Mon Moore (fourth round) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (fifth round).

The Packers will have an interesting competition at receiver in training camp. With Davante Adams and Randall Cobb presumably the starters, there are up to six pass-catchers competing for the third spot.

What the analysts are saying

• "St. Brown's combination of size and speed will be coveted by offenses looking for a prospect who can create throwing windows down the field with his ability to separate as the route progresses ... competitive nature needs to improve as does his play strength to elude early pressure from physical cornerbacks." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "St. Brown is a rangy and athletic receiver with long, ropey arms. His deep speed must be respected. He runs good-but-not great routes and catches the ball away from his body with very few drops. St. Brown is an acrobat when the ball is in the air - good luck getting higher than he can." - Josh Norris, Rotoworld
• "St. Brown is a lean, long, and rangy receiver, who needs to develop his polish and play strength, but displays the vertical speed and athletic profile to be a threat at all three levels of the defense." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
