<p>The Packers are putting together a really good NFL Draft with Nick Perry, Jerel Worthy, and Casey Hayward. So, how will the Packers finish off their 2012 draft class?</p>
<p>The Packers have two fourth rond picks and plenty of sixth- and seventh-rounders so the Packers have some flexibility if they want to make a trade for a player like Ole Miss&#8217;s Bobby Massie to provide more depth on the offensive line after Chad Clifton was cut. If they stay where they are in the fourth round, they should look at running back and another defensive lineman.</p>
<div id="attachment_9339" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 249px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/6033012.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9339" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/6033012-239x300.jpg" alt="Will Robert Turbin be running from defenders for the Packers?" width="239" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Feb 26, 2012; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Utah State running back Robert Turbin runs the 40 yard dash during the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE</p></div>
<p>The first thing the Packers should do in the fourth round is pick up a running back. Miami&#8217;s Lamar Miller is a definite possibility if he continues to fall but a more realistic option is Utah State&#8217;s Robert Turbin.</p>
<p>Turbin was productive and college and has shown a great combo of size and speed. I think Turbin has the tools to be a really good NFL running back.</p>
<p>Despite picking up Jerel Worthy, the Packers still need some help at defensive end and the two players that are now steals are Boise State&#8217;s Billy Wynn and Nebraska&#8217;s Jared Crick.</p>
<p>Wynn will probably be off the board by the time the Packers pick, but Crick will probably still be there and he would be a great pick as he could start at defensive end.</p>
<p>A defensive line of Crick, B.J. Raji, and Worthy would be able to dominate in the trenches.</p>
<p>In the sixth round, the Packers will probably look at taking a young quarterback like Ryan Lindley out of San Diego State.</p>
<p>Lindley has an impressive arm but he lacks in the areas of consistency and accuracy. However, I think Lindley will be at least as good as Rex Grossman with the potential to be similar to Brett Favre.</p>
<p>Lindley can be a backup that the Packers can develop which is eactly what they want.</p>
<div id="attachment_9340" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/5809382.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9340" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/5809382-199x300.jpg" alt="Ryan Lindley could be in a Packer uniform next season." width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">December 17, 2011; New Orleans, LA, USA; San Diego State Aztecs quarterback Ryan Lindley (14) against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns during the first quarter of the New Orleans Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Mandatory Credit: Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE</p></div>
<p>In the seventh round, the Packers have four picks and plenty of possibilities.</p>
<p>The Packers could take some chances on some players like Arizona State&#8217;s Vontaxe Burfict as he is a high ceiling guy that would not be much of a loss if he does not pan out.</p>
<p>Notre Dame safety Robert Blanton could be another possibility if he is still on the board.  Colorado offensive guard Ryan Miller is a player that has a high ceiling and could be very effective.</p>
<p>A player that is off the radar but a very good talent that would be worth taking in the seventh round is Utah cornerback Conroy Black.</p>
<p>Black has all the skills to develop into a starting cornerback in the NFL as he could be a dime cornerback next season even.</p>

<p>The Packers made a big splash last night with the addition of USC DE/OLB Nick Perry.</p>
<p>Now, what will the Packers do tonight to make this draft class excellent.</p>
<p>The Packers will have the option to make some trades as they could look to climb up the second round to get North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins. Jenkins has some red flags but is a great talent and could allow the Packers to move Charles Woodson to safety to replace the recently released Nick Collins.</p>
<p>Jenkins also could compete for a starting spot immediately with Sam Shields and Tramon Williams. Jenkins is an elite cornerback prospect that would not be on the board if he did not have the red flags.</p>
<p>However, I think Jenkins will be able to stay out of trouble and be a successful NFL cornerback.</p>
<p>If they stay where they are, the Packers have a few options that they can do. Conerback is a need and both Montana&#8217;s Trumaine Johnson and UCF&#8217;s Josh Robinson are possibilities.</p>
<p>Johnson will likely not be on the board at that point as he is the next best cornerback after Jenkins on the board. Robinson, however, could be still on the board as he has a lot of potential.</p>
<p>Robinson has great speed but needs to develop some cover abilities. Robinson would be more of a developmental pick and not an immediate impact player.</p>
<p>A lot of people have linked Miami RB Lamar Miller to the Packers in the second round but I do not think he will still be on the board at that point as he is the best running back left on the board.</p>
<p>Even if Miller is on the board when the Packers pick, Green Bay can wait to get a running back prospect that is just as good later on &#8211; such as Temple&#8217;s Bernard Pierce in the third round or Utah State&#8217;s Robert Turbin in the fourth round.</p>
<div id="attachment_9317" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 244px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/5738364.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-9317  " src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/51/files/2012/04/5738364-300x292.jpg" alt="Lamar Miller is blowing away the Boston College defense." width="234" height="228" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">NOV 25, 2011; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Miami Hurricanes running back Lamar Miller (6) runs for a touchdown past Boston College Eagles defensive back Spenser Rositano (47) and Boston College Eagles defensive end Kasim Edebali (91) in the first quarter at Sun Life Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Robert Mayer-US PRESSWIRE</p></div>
<p>In the third round, the Packers should look at a defensive lineman like Boise State&#8217;s Billy Wynn or Nebraska&#8217;s Jared Crick. Both can be 3-4 defensive ends but Crick could end up being available in the fourth round and that would be a steal.</p>
<p>Wynn and Crick are two very capable defensive ends who will be successful NFL players. I am a huge fan of Jared Crick as I think he will be a steal in this year&#8217;s draft no matter where he goes.</p>
