2016 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Who do the Packers select in opening three rounds?
By Dan Dahlke
60. . Center. Notre Dame. Nick Martin. 54. player
Arizona State. Christian Westerman. 55. player. 56. . Offensive Guard
36. . Wide Receiver. Pittsburgh. Tyler Boyd. 56. player
Joshua Perry. 57. player. 49. After taking Billings in the first round, Green Bay continues to upgrade their front seven by selecting Joshua Perry with their next pick. The former Ohio State defensive captain would bring a physical and savvy presence to the middle of their defense. If the Packers miss out on Ragland in the first round, Perry could be a legitimate option for them on day two of the draft. He may be the second-best linebacker against the run in this class, and he’s also a solid athlete who can drop in coverage. He’s much more than a consolation prize at inside backer–he could instantly fill a need as as the Packers starting inside linebacker next season. . Linebacker. Ohio State
55. . Safety. Ohio State. Vonn Bell. 58. player
. Cornerback. Baylor. Xavien Howard. 59. player. 124
. Defensive Line. Louisiana Tech. Vernon Butler. 60. player. 47
. Quarterback. Penn State. Christian Hackenberg. 61. player. 47
Running Back. Miami. Derrick Henry. 62. player. 87.
45. . Defensive Line. Penn State. Austin Johnson. 63. player
Picks #54-63: Things are working out well for the Packers as they address needs at defensive line and linebacker with their first two picks. Other steals here at the end of the second round are Pittsburgh taking the top coverage safety in the draft in Vonn Bell, New England landing nose tackle Vernon Butler, and Carolina finding the perfect back for their power running game in Derrick Henry.
