Green Bay Packers: Ten first-round options in 2017 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers have strung together a four-game winning streak to keep their playoff hopes alive. With only have two games left in their regular season, the Packers now control their own destiny. If they just win out, they’ll take the division.

The Packers have managed to turn things around on offense, and in large part due to the emergence of Ty Montgomery in the backfield. The converted wideout showed what he can really do in a starting role with a 162-yard and two-touchdown day in Green Bay’s win over the Chicago Bears this past week.

It seems evident Montgomery will change his jersey number and make the full-time switch to running back next season. If the Packers bring back Eddie Lacy in the offseason for a reasonable price, running back may no longer be a major weakness on the Packers roster.

Jared Cook‘s resent rise could also bring him back for the foreseeable future, which would make tight end less of a need in the offseason as well.

As the season progresses, the major needs on the roster continue to be on the defensive side of the ball. Without Sam Shields, the cornerback position has fallen apart. Injuries to Clay Matthews and Nick Perry have also highlighted the Packers’ lack of depth at outside linebacker.

However, the Packers could still use more playmakers at wide receiver, tight end, and running back.

With the draft evaluation process about to start in a month with the college all-star games, here are ten possible prospects the Packers could target in the first round.
