30. Green Bay Packers -- Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA
Improving the middle of the defense will be a draft priority for general manager Ted Thompson. The Packers desperately need to find a starting inside linebacker. Kendricks would fit the profile. He was one of the most productive linebackers in college football the last two seasons, relying on his speed to coast sideline to sideline. He plays the game with the kind of nastiness that Green Bay’s defense has been lacking over the last four seasons.

Alternative: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest

The Packers are in serious need of inside linebackers but I'm not sure, in fact I doubt, that any ILB in the draft warrant a 1st round pick.
I would prefer that the Packers trade out of the 1st round since defense needs to be their focus and at this point it doesn't look like there will be any impactful defensive (what the Packers need) players available at # 30.
Of course all that could change as the draft unfolds.
