2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers tend to go defense in the first round of the draft, and that didn't change in 2023, as they snapped up Van Ness at No. 13 overall. He didn't put up big numbers at Iowa, but he did record 13.5 sacks over two seasons and is an elite athlete among defensive ends. It's unclear whether Van Ness will work there or at outside linebacker, but he could make an immediate impact, as several defensive linemen were let go this offseason, and the team's top pass rusher (Rashan Gary) is working his way back from a torn ACL.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be fit with Jags
Van Ness is a strong fit with the Jaguars, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Van Ness is entering the draft after three seasons at Iowa, the first of which he redshirted. He racked up an impressive 6.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss across 13 games in 2022, and he is well-regarded as a pass rusher for his ability to win with both power and agility. Van Ness is likely to be selected in the mid-to-late first round of the NFL Draft, so it's possible he lasts to the Jaguars' first-round selection at 24th overall.
