49. Campbell is an unique athlete as an edge rusher. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 232 pounds, the former Gopher ran a blazing 4.59 forty at the NFL Combine. He also posted good marks in agility drills at his pro day. His production in college may not have matched his athletic ability, but Campbell has a high enough ceiling to be worth the risk of a late-third round pick. He could be a developmental prospect at outside linebacker and a guy who could compete for a starting job in a year or two.. Outside Linebacker. Minnesota. De'Vondre Campbell. 88. player

Picks #88-98: In the first three rounds the Packers focus on improving their front seven, knowing they can address their other needs, like offensive line, in rounds four and five.

They could have also considered offensive prospects C.J. Prosise and Jerell Adams, who fall to Detroit and Denver, respectively. The Jared Cook signing alleviates the pressure of Green Bay having to reach for a tight end prospect in the early rounds.
