Who could the Green Bay Packers in each round of the 2016 NFL Draft? Here’s a full seven round pre-free agency mock draft featuring projected compensatory picks.

Many NFL teams will be overspending on free agents in the coming days — this is a game the Green Bay Packers don’t often play. Instead, general manager Ted Thompson focuses on players he can bring to Green Bay in the upcoming draft. This is where Thompson truly shines.

The Packers are expected to receive two compensatory picks, which are likely to be in the fourth round. This is courtesy of losing cornerbacks Tramon Williams and Davon House in free agency 12 months ago. For the purpose of this mock, we’ll assume both picks are in the fourth.

Stay tuned to Lombardi Ave for all Packers free agency moves (if there are any), but for now let’s make some predictions for the draft before the craziness begins on the open market.

With needs at tight end, inside linebacker, offensive tackle among various others, let’s make some predictions for who the Packers could take in each round.
