RUNNING BACK
The Packers seem set at the running back position, so it would seem hard to imagine a scenario where they take a back over another position in the draft.
However, the Packers may look at a back with return specialist potential, like Kent State’s Dri Archer (No. 11) or Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas (No. 14), on day three of the draft.
The Packers return game needs new life and there may be a late-round halfback in this draft that could be their answer at the position.
My Pick for the Packers: De’Anthony Thomas in Round 6
