29. player. 49. There are a lot of ways the Packers could go with this pick. However, cornerback is their clear top need on the roster, but even despite this, Conley is the top player left on the board. Here is an instance where need and value meet. Conley remains one of the more underrated cornerback prospects in this draft class, but this may end once Conley tests this spring. He’s an elite athlete and that shows up on film. He possesses impressive change of direction ability, but he also has the top-flight speed to recover and stick with dynamic wideouts down the field. Conley could still show more urgency in run support, but the physical tools and ball skills are all there. He’d immediately be the Packers top cover corner. — Dan. Cornerback. Ohio State. GB -- Gareon Conley

49. McKinley might be one of the most underrated prospects in this draft class. He has exceptional burst, a high motor, and an impressive relentless approach to his game. While he prides himself as a pass rusher, his impact in the run game is just as impressive. Green Bay could lose Nick Perry, Datone Jones, and Julius Peppers after this season. While it is unlikely they lose them all, the Packers will definitely need to add some youth to their outside linebacker group. McKinley would bring a much needed disruptive presence on defense. — Kyle. Edge. UCLA (Alternate Pick). GB -- Takkarist McKinley. 29. player

player. 55. Williams has some character questions that he will have to answer, but could come off the board long before the 29th selection if he tests and interviews well in Indianapolis. The Steelers pass rush could use an infusion of youth and Williams has been one of the most explosive and productive rushers in college football. — Kyle. Edge. Alabama. PIT -- Tim Williams. 30

player. 47. Anderson doesn’t wow you with any one trait, but he makes his presence known on every play. He is a dominant force in the run game and plays with real grit. New England traded Jamie Collins this season and could use a player of Anderson’s caliber. — Kyle. Edge. Alabama. NE -- Ryan Anderson. 31

44. Atlanta’s defense has turned the corner late in the season, but they could still use another dynamic pass rusher to pair with Pro Bowler Vic Beasley. Charlton is an idea fit as a 4-3 defensive end. He has a strong punch off the line, and he can bend the edge and win with athleticism. His game also has room to grow. — Dan. Defensive End. Michigan. ATL -- Taco Charlton. 32. player
