Forecasting Green Bay Packers’ first round pick

Ra’Shede Hageman could be targeted by the Green Bay Packers in the first round.

One of the most difficult things for an NFL analyst to predict is who the Green Bay Packers will draft.

Ted Thompson is very savvy on draft day compared to most NFL general managers. He hardly drafts based off need and when he does, he usually trades back. There are a few correlations based of his recent first round picks, however. They have been larger players from the positions of OL, DL, or OLB in the past eight years. Based of this observation, we can form and opinion on who will be this year’s top pick for the Green Bay Packers.
