DEFENSIVE LINE

Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama (Peter Schrager, Fox Sports): "Williams is a versatile Australian-born big man who anchors college football’s most feared defensive unit. At 6-3, 323 pounds, he’d be a nasty addition to a unit that’s already improving. Green Bay took defensive players with their first six selections in 2012. Look for them to address the D in the first round in 2013, as well."

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina (Will Brinson, CBSSports): "Williams is malleable enough to play in either a 3-4 or a 4-3 and improving the defensive line to free up their pass rushers is a key for Ted Thompson."

Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State (Pete Prisco, CBSSports ): "They have to get better in the middle of the defense."

Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M (Clark Judge, CBSSports): "The Packers open with San Francisco, and someone, anyone, is needed to seal the edge."

OFFENSIVE LINE

Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State - (Dane Brugler, NFL Draft Scout): "The Packers offensive line hasn't been their strength in recent years and could target one here. Watson doesn't have the impressive resume of most first round picks, but his upside will get him drafted much earlier than many expect."

Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State - (Don Banks, SI.com): "The Packers offensive line in general has to be upgraded, and Watson would seem the proverbial best available player in this scenario. A former basketball player and boxer, Watson played right tackle at FSU, but is seen as capable of developing into a starter on either side."

Justin Pugh, G/T, Syracuse - (Charles Davis, NFL.com): "The Packers are looking to upgrade both lines, and the versatile Pugh can play both OT and OG."

I am a bit amused by the picks in general. It is as if many of these guys don't know who to take yet they know they have to pick someone so they grab the closest warm body and hope he fits.

For the most part the DL picks especially the DT are fine. None of them can be called amazing but you will not find that at 26 in most drafts. DE Moore is a tad suspect. At 250 pounds he is just a little light in the back pockets to be an effective DE. Perhaps he could be a decent OLB.

The OL picks are pretty weak. The first question I have before is have they checked on the status of the current OT on GB? If Sherrod and Bualga re fine what then? If they are not going to be able to go I understand looking for more help on the edge but these two picks may not be the answer either.

According to Walter's site Watkins pass protection needs some work. The NFL is a passing league. GB is a passing team. Don't you think GB would want to take an OT in the first round who is fairly solid in the passing game? Pugh is an undersized OT who most likely will be moved inside to OG. OK fine. Does GB really need help at OG? Lang certainly had issues last year but that was in part to the suspect players to his left and right. Shore up those positions and he will perform better.

Of all of these choices I like Hankins the best. He stops the run and can pressure the QB as well. S Williams is not a 3-4 DL.
