Packers 2022 Draft Summary

ROUND 1 • PICK 22 • OVERALL 022

LB QUAY WALKER

Georgia | Height: 6'-4" | Weight: 240 lbs. | Age: 21

4-Yard Time: 4.52

The Georgia product’s full name is Jaquavian Jy'Quese Walker. He was rated the No. 2 linebacker prospect and top-35 overall recruit nationally out of Crisp County High School. He played in all 14 games as a reserve in 2018 (six tackles), sharing the team's Special Teams Newcomer of the Year Award. Walker got more playing time as a sophomore (23 tackles, 3.5 for loss with 2.5 sacks in 13 appearances) before getting a chance to start twice in 10 contests in 2020 (43 tackles, two for loss with one sack). He started all 15 games for the 2021 national champions, recording 67 tackles, 5.5 for loss with 1.5 sacks, and three pass breakups. — By Chad Reuter

OVERVIEW

Walker had to wait his turn at Georgia, but he has become a well-schooled, instinctive linebacker ready for the NFL game. He has good size and clear eyes from the second level, with a talent for recognizing play design. He plays disciplined, team-oriented football but is unlikely to become a top-level playmaker as a pro. His chase speed and body control are just average when ranging to tackle or covering in space. Walker is dependable and consistent and projects as a good backup with eventual starter potential at inside linebacker.

HIS ROLE WITH THE PACKERS: 

Walker figures to pencil in behind Campbell but should see plenty of action and could earn a starting spot. GM Brian Gutekunst: “It's been a while since we've been able to stay in certain packages with two inside backers. This really gives our defense a ton of flexibility. He can do a lot of things. One of the things we looked at in a player like Quay, he's got some similarities to (De'Vondre Campbell) so having two interchangeable pieces there gives our defense so much flexibility.”

STRENGTHS

• Instinctive, with confident eyes in the box.

• Plays with lively, ready feet.

• Quick recognition into response.

• Mirrors runner's lane choice from his perch.

• Recognizes blocking scheme and play design.

• Sees past climbing blockers.

• Snappy hands to play off blocks quickly.

• Keeps outside shoulder uncovered.

• Consistent hustle away from the ball.

• Reliable, face-up tackler near the line.

WEAKNESSES

• Has some tightness in his hips.

• Upright in second-level movements.

• Average body control in scrape to the football.

• Play strength doesn't always match his size.

• Inconsistent finding the best level to elude block.

• Gets stuck to blocks that find him.

• Erratic vision and response in coverage.

• Will overrun his target in space.

ROUND 1 • PICK 28 • OVERALL 028

DL DEVONTE WYATT
Georgia | Height: 6'-3" | Weight: 304 lbs. | Age: 24
40-Yard Time: 4.77

Wyatt was a four-star prospect from Decatur, Georgia, when he signed with the Bulldogs. He went to Hutchinson Community College in 2017 (30 tackles, 4.5 for loss with three sacks) to improve his grades before heading to Athens. Wyatt played in 12 games as a reserve in 2018 (19 tackles, 1.5 sacks) and played in 13 games with one start in 2019 (30 tackles, 1.5 for loss). He became a regular starter in 2020 (25 tackles, two for loss in 10 games) and burst onto the scene as a first-team All-SEC selection to lead the Bulldogs' national title run in 2021 (39 tackles, seven for loss with 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles in 14 starts). — By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Highly active defensive tackle with decent strength. Wyatt is made for movement and disruptions. He helped himself in 2021 with better tape both against the run and as a pass rusher. His lateral quickness is useful in beating zone blocks and in sliding across the front in a game-based pass rush. Wyatt has adequate strength but struggles to withstand a second blocker. The traits are average, but the effort is consistent and Wyatt should fit nicely as a rotational, gap-seeking three-technique with disruptive flashes.

HIS ROLE WITH THE PACKERS:

Gutekunst noted Wyatt's speed and explosiveness and ability to disrupt the line of scrimmage. “He can play the one (gap), he can pay the three (gap). He's a dynamic pass rusher. His ability to scrape and get to the ball is almost like a linebacker. We didn't expect him to be there at 28. When we passed him at 22 to take Quay, we thought we lost our opportunity.” Gutekunst said of both Wyatt and Walker, “they come from a very strong culture at Georgia, winning there… their speed and explosiveness is off the charts.” Still as an interior lineman, Wyatt will allow Clark to play more outside, while he creates lanes for those behind him. Wyatt has long dreamed of playing alongside Clark, telling local Packers media that Clark has been one of his top defensive tackles to watch in the NFL. 

STRENGTHS

• Initial punch lands with some pop.

• Lateral quickness beats move-blocker to the spot.
• Uses slip-rip for penetration into A-gap.
• Locates ball-carriers quickly when two-gapping.
• Hustles around the field looking to make a play.
• Shows urgency in locating a pass blocker's edge.
• Enough lower-body strength to plow through redirect blocks.
• Above-average change of direction inside pocket.

WEAKNESSES

• Length is below average.

• Average explosiveness into the neutral zone.
• Tendency to drop helmet into initial contact.
• Not enough sand to withstand down blocks.
• Average hand usage and shed quickness.
• Rush energy bogs down when stiff punches find him.
• Lack of length shows up in his rush.
• Doesn't have go-to moves for quick-rush wins.

ROUND 2 • PICK 32 • 092

WR CHRISTIAN WATSON

North Dakota State | Height: 6'-4" | Weight: 208 lbs. | Age: 22

40-Yard Time: 4.36

Watson has been one of the most explosive receivers at the FCS level since getting on the field at NDSU out of Plant High School in Tampa. As a redshirt freshman, he helped the Bison win yet another national title by contributing in 14 games (9-165-18.3 receiving; two starts). Watson was a second-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2019, leading the eventual national champs with 34 receptions for 732 yards (ranking fourth in the FCS with 21.5 yards per reception) while scoring six times in 16 games (11 starts; also 13-162-12.5, one TD rushing; 4-70-17.5 kick returns). He was a first-team All-MVFC selection at receiver (19-442-23.3, one TD receiving: 21-116-5.5 rushing) and a second-team return specialist (10-338-33.8, two TD kick returns) in 2020, playing in 10 games with eight starts between the team's lone game in the fall and its 2021 spring schedule. Watson garnered second-team Associated Press FCS All-American accolades (43-801-18.6, seven TDs receiving; 15-114-7.6, one TD rushing; 10-227-22.7 kick returns in 12 games, 10 starts) in 2021, as well as a first-team all-conference nod. He missed the team's first three playoff games before starting in the national title game victory over Montana State. Christian's father, Tazim Wajid Wajed (formerly Tim Watson), was a defensive back at Howard and had a five-year NFL career (1993-97). His brother, Tre, played linebacker at two Big Ten Schools (Illinois, Maryland) and in the XFL, and his uncle, Cedric, played football at Marshall. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

A receiver prospect with intriguing measurables and a strong belief in the team aspect of the game, Watson possesses an alluring combination of size and speed. He showed off improved route running and catch strength in 2021. He is much more gifted than his opposition was at NDSU and needs to prove he can elevate his game against bigger, faster players at the next level. He plays hard and fast but needs to add a few more pounds and learn to impose his frame on the coverage. He's a field-stretching option requiring a linear route tree and projects as a capable WR3/4 with more work.

STRENGTHS

• Father played safety in the NFL.

• Very good blend of size, speed and length.

• Touchdown production through air, ground and return game.

• Plays fast from snap to whistle.

• Displays foot quickness for take-off versus press.

• Added some route polish in 2021.

• Leverages defender's hips before cutting the opposite way.

• Maintains acceleration through route stem.

• Effective separation talent in linear route tree.

• Improved hand strength on contested catches in 2021.

WEAKNESSES

• Mirror-and-match corners can trace short to intermediate routes.

• Lacks deep bend for sudden sink and stop.

• Needs excess steps into the top of the break point.

• Occasionally mistimes leaps to the throw.

• Catch focus is below average.

• Needs to impose his size on coverage when the ball goes up.

ROUND 3 • PICK 28 • OVERALL 092

OL SEAN RHYAN

UCLA | Height: 6'-4" | Weight: 321 lbs. | Age: 23

40-Yard Time: 5.25

Rhyan was a top-60 overall recruit out of San Juan Hills in California, earning first-team all-state and Los Angeles Times All-Star notice. He set the school records in the shot put and discus for the track squad and qualified to be a part of the high school feeder program for the Olympic rugby team. His future is clearly in football, however, as he showed by garnering Freshman All-American honors as a 12-game starter for the Bruins in 2019. He started all seven games at left tackle in 2020 and all 12 at that position in 2021, receiving first-team All-Pac-12 recognition for his efforts. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Three-year starter with the potential to offer team options at either tackle or guard. Rhyan has good size and plays with fairly explosive short-area movements, helping him establish early success getting into run-blocking fits. He's fundamentally sound as a run blocker but a fear of getting beat by speed might play into issues over-setting and giving away too many pressures from inside moves and counters. He has the hand usage, bend and build to transition to guard. Plus, his pass protection experience at tackle combined with dual-position roster flexibility should add to his draft standing and improve his chances of becoming an eventual starter. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Has three years of left tackle experience.

• Offers guard talent with tackle potential in a pinch.

• Proportional mass with good wingspan and enormous hands.

• Adequate knee bend in his pass sets.

• Able to stay square and pop with his punch.

• Footwork for short or long pull blocking.

• Operates with good hand accuracy and pop.

• Accelerates through the down block with force.

• Hand placement allows for better push and block-steering.

• Adjusts assignments quickly to moving fronts.

WEAKNESSES

• Too many false start penalties.

• Narrows his drive-blocking base.

• Needs to stay under his pads for better balance.

• Below-average recovery talent.

• Punch is a little monotonous and can be timed.

• Over-setting gets him countered by inside moves.

• Average arm extension to redirect his edge.

ROUND 4 • PICK 27 • OVERALL 132

WR ROMEO DOUBS

Nevada | Height: 6'-1" | Weight: 201 lbs. | Age: 22

40-Yard Time: —

Former Nevada receivers coach Eric Scott coached Doubs (pronounced dubs) at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles and knew him from Snoop Dogg's Youth Football League. Scott took over recruiting for Nevada in 2017 and made sure to sign Doubs. He returned an 80-yard punt for a touchdown on his first collegiate touch, eventually starting nine of 13 games in his true freshman season (43-562-13.1, two TDs receiving; 1-22-22.0 kick returns; 6-107-17.8, one TD punt returns). Doubs was an honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference pick and the team's Most Valuable Player in 2019, leading the squad with 14.8 yards per reception (44-649, four TDs; 8-86-10.8 punt returns in 11 games, eight starts). MWC coaches voted him first-team all-conference in 2020 as he ranked eighth in the FBS with 111.3 receiving yards per game (58-1,002-17.3, nine TDs; 11-100-9.1 punt returns in nine starts). Doubs was a first-team All-MWC selection in 2021, as well, after leading the Wolf Pack with 80 receptions, 1,109 receiving yards (13.9 per catch) and 11 touchdowns while effectively returning punts (12-170-14.2). He opted out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Will check the boxes for height, weight and speed, but tightness in his lower half limits the upside. Doubs has been a productive, high-volume target with speed to separate deep but he's a linear route-runner who will struggle to elude NFL press and separate from tight man coverage over the first two levels. His toughness, ball skills and special teams potential increase his chances of earning a backup role. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Good size/speed combination.

• Posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

• Labeled by scouts as tough and competitive with alpha demeanor.

• Early acceleration to overtake cornerback on go routes.

• Good awareness and footwork near the sideline.

• Catches with sudden, strong hands.

• Able to pluck with extension or make cradle catches in traffic.

• Possesses necessary courage catching in traffic.

• Productive punt returner with gunner potential in the pros.

WEAKNESSES

• Linear and limited as a route runner.

• Will have trouble releasing past press defenders.

• Runs with upright gait in the drive phase.

• Routes can be redirected and thrown off schedule.

• Tight hips limit separation success from break points.

• Room for improvement with catch focus through contact.

• Below-average run-after-catch talent.

ROUND 4 • PICK 35 • OVERALL 140

C ZACH TOM

Wake Forest | Height: 6'-4" | Weight: 304 lbs. | Age: 23

40-Yard Time: 4.94

[Compensatory Selection]

Tom is a Louisiana native whose parents are both employed at LSU. His father is a mathematics professor and his mother an IT professional. His brother, Cameron, was a four-year starter at Southern Miss and has played for the Saints and Dolphins. As a redshirt freshman, Zach played in 12 games with one start at center. He played the same position for all 13 games in 2019, earning honorable mention All-ACC notice from league coaches. Tom moved to left tackle for 2020, starting all nine games, and then received first-team All-ACC recognition for his play as a 14-game starter at that position in 2021. He also won the Jim Tatum Award as the conference's top senior student-athlete among ACC football players. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Center prospect who spent the last two seasons at left tackle. Tom was extremely impressive in pass protection at tackle despite a lack of desired size or length, but he's likely headed back to center in the pros. He plays with technique and plus body control, but his aggression level is a little lacking in the run game and his mass is below average. Tom could be a priority for teams with leaky interior protection. He has Day 3 value as an above-average backup with eventual starting potential. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Excellent intelligence.

• Three-year starter with good durability.

• Makes fluid block adjustments in space.

• Easy slide from block to block on combinations.

• Good base width and hip flexion into defender as base blocker.

• Utilizes firm, independent hands in pass protection.

• Throws punch with intent and quickness.

• Fluid and fast in mirroring a counter.

• Pass protection from tackle position was eye-opening.

WEAKNESSES

• Slender through his waist and hips.

• Catches contact at the point of attack.

• Needs to become more violent into contact.

• Below-average mass to base up against power.

• Needs to prove he can anchor against an NFL nose tackle.

• Susceptible to push-pull technique.

• Needs to guard against oversetting.

ROUND 5 • PICK 36 • OVERALL 179

LB KINGSLEY ENAGBARE

South Carolina | Height: 6'-4" | Weight: 258 lbs. | Age: 22

40-Yard Time: 4.87

[Compensatory selection from IND through DEN]

Enagbare (pronounced ee-NAG-bar-ee) enrolled a semester early after helping Hapeville Charter Academy in Atlanta win a state title as the Class AA Defensive Player of the Year. Taking part in spring practices paid off in his freshman campaign, as he contributed in 12 games as a reserve (20 tackles, three for loss with one sack, two pass breakups, one blocked kick). Enagbare made only one start in 2019 but had a strong pass rush presence in 12 appearances (27 tackles, seven for loss with 3.5 sacks). SEC coaches recognized his 2020 performance, in which he had 30 tackles, seven for loss with a team-high six sacks, and tied for sixth in the FBS with three forced fumbles in eight starts, by naming him first-team all-conference. Enagbare missed the final two games due to a hip injury and had surgery after the season. He was left off the all-conference lists in 2021 but was still productive in 12 starts for the Gamecocks with 44 tackles, seven for loss with 4.5 sacks, and two pass breakups. Enagbare opted out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft. Kingsley's nickname, "J.J.", comes from his love for the children's show, "Jay Jay the Jet Plane". By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Enagbare is long and strong but lacks explosiveness, which could create diverging opinions regarding his position and how best to play him. He's heavy-handed and physical but will never be confused for a playmaker on the edge. He's best suited as a cubicle defender where his power and length can benefit him in smaller spaces. He has played heavier in the past and teams might ask him to pack the pounds back on in order to compete as a run-defending interior lineman in an odd or even front. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Above-average length and upper-body power.

• Punches with good knockback pop.

• Powerful slap to flip and clear blocker's edge at point of attack.

• Uses his heavy hands to bully blockers.

• Potential to develop into a five-technique with more weight.

• Forceful demeanor fits the NFL game.

• Thud tackler with stopping power.

WEAKNESSES

• Tight hips with slow twitch.

• Inconsistent punch-and-separate move.

• Below-average range and short-area agility as tackler.

• Predictable, face-up rusher.

• Slow and linear in twist game.

• Lacks functional explosiveness to the top of the rush.

• Shoots upright when hitting inside move.

ROUND 7 • PICK 7• OVERALL 228

S TARIQ CARPENTER

Georgia Tech | Height: 6'-3" | Weight: 230 lbs. | Age: 23

40-Yard Time: 4.47

[From CHI through HOU]

Carpenter's mother is a retired Army officer who served multiple tours of duty, so Carpenter often finds a member of the military in the stands before Tech's games to shake their hand and thank them for their service. The three-star recruit from Long County High School in Georgia began his career playing in six games as a reserve in 2017 (two tackles) and then ascended to a starring role as a sophomore, tying for the team lead with two interceptions and starting all 13 games (55 tackles, 1.5 for loss, five pass breakups). Carpenter started 10 of 11 games played in 2019 (62 tackles, two for loss, one interception, four pass breakups) and nine of 10 appearances in 2020 (39 tackles, two for loss, one interception, five pass breakups). He started nine of 12 games played in 2021, posting a career-high 65 tackles and breaking up three passes. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

The four-year starting safety is making the move to linebacker, where his size, speed and aggressive demeanor should help him fit more cleanly than at safety. Carpenter is a natural in run support with clear eyes and a physical approach in the box. Taking on blockers in a faster-paced game could cause bumps in the road early on. He has good pursuit range, average body control and the potential to guard tight ends. Carpenter was an excellent pro-day tester, so the traits and special teams talent could buy him an early opportunity on a roster as he learns the linebacker position. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Four seasons as a starter.

• Tough enough for position switch to linebacker.

• Possesses sideline-to-sideline range.

• Gets downhill quickly to cut off runner's angles.

• Cover background to match against tight ends.

• Runs all the way through pass-catchers with good force.

• Face-up tackler who lands pads on pads before wrapping.

• Should step into an immediate special-teams role.

WEAKNESSES

• Requires additional time for schooling at linebacker.

• Long legs preclude efficient change of direction in space.

• Needs to learn how to attack blockers near the line.

• Eyes get caught lingering against play-action.

• Sticky hips make transitioning in coverage a chore.

• Slashing runners leave him lunging as open-field tackler.

ROUND 7 • PICK 13 • OVERALL 234

DT JONATHAN FORD

Miami | Height: 6'-5" | Weight: 333 lbs. | Age: 23

40-Yard Time: 5.47

(From DET through CLE and DEN)

Ford grew up in Fort Lauderdale and signed with Miami as a three-star recruit in the 2017 class. He played in seven games as a reserve as a true freshman and earned more playing time in 2018, recording eight tackles, two for loss, in 10 games. Ford started all 13 games in 2019 with 18 stops, 3.5 for loss with three sacks, and a forced fumble. He started eight of 10 games played in both 2020 (19 tackles, 1.5 for loss) and 2021 (14 tackles) for the Hurricanes. By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Nose tackle with broad frame and intriguing snap quickness, but an alarming lack of impact on the game relative to his traits. Ford gets into the neutral zone with good knock-back power, but he's more likely to generate penetration than to actually make a play. He hasn't shown that he can read and react at the point of attack, but could get an opportunity to prove himself in a camp. He flashed rush disruption in 2019 and might be better off playing at a lighter weight to give himself the best chance to succeed in that area. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Three-year starter.

• Wide, thick-boned frame.

• Times up snap and comes out quickly.

• Knock-back power to move line of scrimmage.

• Penetrates into the backfield once he hits an edge.

• Foot fakes set up opposite gap attack.

• 2019 tape flashes pass-rush potential at lighter weight.

WEAKNESSES

• Poor overall production.

• Additional weight has slowed lateral quickness.

• Take-on technique gets him in trouble.

• Charges upfield without reading play design.

• Struggles to punch, separate and shed the block.

• Struggled versus Appalachian State offensive line.

• Ends up on the ground too much.

• Unable to generate rush pressure over the last two years.

ROUND 7 • PICK 28 • OVERALL 249

OT RASHEED WALKER

Penn State | Height: 6'-6" | Weight: 313 lbs. | Age: 22

40-Yard Time: —

Penn State signed Walker from North Point High School in Maryland (where he was coached by former Florida and NFL OT Phil Trautwein) as a four-star recruit. He also had 11 sacks on defense as a senior but played as a reserve offensive lineman in four games before taking a redshirt in 2018. Walker stepped in to start all 13 games at left tackle the following year and then garnered honorable mention All-Big Ten Conference honors the following two seasons playing on the blindside (nine starts in 2020, 10 in 2021, missing the end of the '21 season due to injury). By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Walker possesses enticing power and measurables but has issues that could be challenging to correct if he stays at tackle. Ohio State defenders were able to burn up his outside edge, which creates concern about his pass pro range, but it can be hard to beat his anchor with pure power. He has issues playing beyond his base, creating chronic over-extension that will be exploited by skilled NFL rush talent. He's capable as a run blocker and should keep getting better with more hand work. Walker projects as a right tackle on the next level but might move inside to guard if his range and balance in pass sets aren't up to par. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Displayed ability for quick and vertical sets.

• Stout core withstands a bull rush.

• Fires hands through defender's pads.

• Extends and presses rusher past the arc.

• Controlled inside power step for firmer post.

• Better hand placement will bolster drive blocking.

• Power to shove and clear debris from the lane.

• Able to hold his ground in base blocks versus power.

• Adequate adjustments in space.

WEAKNESSES

• Might not have enough range to play left tackle.

• Base can get too wide in pass sets.

• Weight sits on his outside foot in pass slides.

• Reaches and leans rather than maintaining flat-back posture.

• Opens door wide for a variety of inside counters.

• Lacks twitch fitting into run block.

• Hands need to be faster and more accurate.

• Needs to improve positioning after contact.

ROUND 7 • PICK 37 • OVERALL 258

WR SAMORI TOURE

Nebraska | Height: 6'-0" | Weight: 191 lbs. | Age: 24

40-Yard Time: 4.44

Samori Toure (pronounced sa-MOR-ee TOO-ray) grew up in Portland, Oregon, and set school receiving records at Westview High School before signing with Montana. He impacted the team's offense as a redshirt freshman in 2017 (31-553-17.8, five TDs receiving; 21-379-18.0 kickoff returns), playing in 11 games as a reserve. Toure started 10 of 11 games played the following year (37-440-11.9, two TDs). His game went to another level as a junior, allowing him to garner third-team Associated Press All-American, Big Sky Conference Receiver of the Year and first-team all-league honors in 2019. He set school records with 87 receptions and 1,495 yards (17.2 per) while scoring 13 times in 14 starts. Toure broke an FCS playoff record with 303 receiving yards against Southeast Louisiana. The school did not play in the fall of 2020 due to COVID-19, so Toure decided to transfer to Nebraska. He led the Huskers with 898 receiving yards (46 receptions, 19.5 per) and five touchdowns in 2021, starting nine of 12 games played and scoring one rushing touchdown (8-63-7.9). By Chad Reuter (NFL.com)

OVERVIEW

Inside/outside target with his most productive seasons coming at Montana in 2019 and Nebraska in 2021. Toure has average NFL size and speed and below-average route-running technique, but coverage tends to struggle to stay in step with him on over routes and posts. He struggles with physical coverage and contested catch opportunities. Toure might have a shot to find a back-end roster spot in an offense looking for slot speed with a scheme allowing him to catch on the move both intermediate and deep. By Lance Zierlein (NFL.com)

STRENGTHS

• Tested like an NFL receiver at pro day.

• Posted five 100-yard games in his only season on FBS level.

• Foot quickness for improved release success into routes.

• Sharp cuts cause problems for tight man coverage underneath.

• Hits accelerator at the route stem.

• Creates catch separation despite average route salesmanship.

• Maintains his long speed when turning to track the football.

WEAKNESSES

• Hands will need to become more active in clearing press.

• Physical cornerbacks really stall his route progress.

• Sloppy getting in and out of route breaks.

• Better speed variance needed with routes on the next level.

• Slightly below-average hands as pass-catcher.

• His run-after-catch is nothing special.
