The 2016 NFL season for all 32 teams, including the Green Bay Packers, is officially in the books, and now every NFL team will take close look at their roster and see what pieces they can add to get them to back on the road to the Super Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers could certainly go any number of ways with the 27th overall pick in the NFL Draft. They have plenty of needs to address, especially if a majority of their 14 potential free agents leave this spring.

For fun, fellow Lombardi Ave writers Coalter Hansen and Josh McPeak and myself decided to put together an early first-round mock draft. We each rotated picks to simulate how various teams and approaches to the draft could shape the first round and ultimately affect who Green Bay selects with their first overall pick.

Take a look at how things turned out. Make sure to also read who we each would pick for the Packers from the players left on the board at pick No. 27.
