Green Bay Packers 2018 Draft: 8 Potential First Round Options
By Dan Dahlke
The 2018 NFL Draft is still six months away, but for Green Bay Packers fans, it couldn’t come soon enough based on how the 2017 season is unfolding.
The Packers are 0-3 since Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone in the Minnesota game and now sit 4-4 on a season that is going downhill quickly. And despite Mike McCarthy‘s best efforts with Brett Hundley under center, it’s clear Green Bay needs new blood at several key positions.
Whether it’s outside linebacker, cornerback, offensive line, or wide receiver, the Packers will have plenty of options in the first round of the draft this spring.
As their record stands now, Green Bay would pick somewhere between the 12th and 18th pick of the draft. However, if they continue to rack up losses, they may even end up with a top-ten selection when it’s all said and done. Hopefully, that’s not the only positive we can take from this season.
While it’s way too early to have any certainty about draft order, we can at least start to get an idea of the type of talent that could be available if the Packers draft in the middle or front half of the first round.
Here are eight possible names the Packers could consider selecting this spring.
