2016 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Who do the Packers select in opening three rounds?
By Dan Dahlke
. Wide Receiver. Baylor. Corey Coleman. 22. player. 10
60. . Wide Receiver. TCU. Josh Doctson. 23. player
. Defensive End. Oklahoma State. Emmanuel Ogbah. 24. player. 56
player. 55. . Offensive Tackle. Ohio State. Taylor Decker. 25
36. . Offensive Tackle. Indiana. Jason Spriggs. 26. player
27. player. 49. With Ragland and Lee off the board and plenty of defensive line talent still available, it’s easy to see a scenario where Green Bay goes nose tackle with their first pick. And, Billings may be the top nose guard coming out of college. He’s incredibly strong and explosive off the snap. He’s a human wrecking ball in the middle of the line of scrimmage. He’s also a very underrated pass rusher, who can generate a lot of inside push on passing downs. The Packers may find better value anyway taking a player like Billings or UCLA’s Kenny Clark here in the first round and then addressing inside linebacker on day two.. Nose Tackle. Baylor. Andrew Billings
Michael Thomas. 28. player. 124. . Wide Receiver. Ohio State
29. player. 32. . Center. Alabama. Ryan Kelly
Safety/Linebacker. USC. Su'a Cravens. 30. player. 87.
45. . Quarterback. Memphis. Paxton Lynch. 31. player
Picks #21-31: The Packers get their future nose tackle in Billings, while Houston and Minnesota find ideal fits at wide receiver. Denver is also fortunate to have Lynch still on the board at the end of the first round, and as a linebacker-safety hybrid, Cravens is an interesting pick for the Panthers defense at pick NO. 30.
