You have insufficient rights to see the content.1) CB Kool-Aid
Has dropped in recent drafts, but I still think he has Alexander like potential, and he's hasn't been suspended due to a coin toss.
2a) DT Murphy
Texas DTs have dominated, and while Murphy is the small ones he lead the charge. I could see some teams preferring his teammates huge NT size, but Murphy was the penetrator that couldn't be stopped and Packers seem to be looking for penetrators.
2b) C/G Powers-Johnson
I'm interested to see what Gute does this year, as he's usually locked on a specific type of OL size wise (6'4" to 6'6") but most of the top OL in this draft are outside of that. Powers-Johnson is the top rated IOL. With Runyan being a FA and Myers being inconsistent and Jenkins struggling with injuries, and the backup being questionable at best, that IOL might be one of the biggest needs.
3a) RG Ratledge
Ratledge is 6'6โ
" among the closest to fit in Gute's range. Plus RG where we might need the guy, nice power and length makes for a good combo.
3b) RB Estime
As a runner, what weakness does he have? I mean, other than the fumbling. But when he has the fumbling under control, he's a great runner! Hasn't shown much versatility in terms of the passing game, but no RB has been asked to in that scheme. But he's big, can be physical, but very quick which is needed for zone running and most big backs aren't quick enough, and decent speed.
4a) DT Davis
Nose tackle, run stuffer, Packers need run stuffers.
4b) RB Allen
I didn't expect Allen to fall this far, but hey if he does, why not take a chance on a solid Wisconsin RB when we have a RB need? He's huge for a RB and has decent speed.
5a) LT Foster
We're probably losing Nijman, might be losing Bakhtiari, we need some more OTs to develop and Foster has been doing a very good, not great job at Missouri for YEARS! I have no idea why he's falling this far in the mock (some have him in the 3rd) but if he does, I'm absolutely grabbing him, as he might become a good starting OT in the NFL. He doesn't nessarily have the power you look for at NFL OL, but neither did Chad Clifford or Bakhtiari, but he just stays in front of his guys.
5b) WR Harris
Not nessarily a pure speed guy, but Harris has been a GREAT deep threat in his one year in the SEC after dominating lower levels. I wouldn't be shocked if teams take him much higher.
6a) ILB Mages
Don't know much, but he graded out well in both against the run and in coverage, and was in coverage a pretty good bit. With the Packers using the ILB as the Dime LB/S guys, we need some guys that can cover.
6b) S Burks
Probably waited to long to grab a Safety, but there are a number in FAs and Packers did grab a ton of them in FA last year and might re-sign some of them.
7) OT Davis
Another OT to try to develop, with so many OL possibly leaving, or needing to be upgraded.
